Dave_D Report post Posted October 19, 2011 Fantastic ram.. and to think, FOUR POINTS. I need to drink whatever he's having each morning. Congrats to the hunter on a phenomenal trophy. My ultimate North American dream hunt. It's usually just a cold coke! I would like to think its good clean livin' but I know there was far too much luck involved to believe that. Thanks for all the kind words. Karl told me he put this up here, and I was stunned he came out of "lurking mode" to post (he's in the upper left of the team picture)! Did I mention that he flew in from Houston to share in the experience? Those are the kind of friends I am glad to share a campfire with. As a gift, a good friend sponsored my Huntin' Fool membership on the condition that I send in my story. I made good on my end of the deal and was surprised to see it make print in this month's issue. You should know that I never hunt with the goal of seeing my face in a magazine. I won’t lie though, I’ve dreamed of harvesting animals of the quality and caliber to warrant proper recognition. Of all the species I’ve hunted over the last 28 years, this ram was my first to be worthy even though every hunt I've been on had great stories/memories. Sharing this story and recognizing the folks that helped me was the ultimate way for me to publicly say “Thank You” to all of them. I recently learned that members of The Huntin’ Fool have the ability to vote for their favorite story each month and the winner will get their choice of a new rifle or bow. If you are a member I would like to ask you to consider voting for my story – only if you think it is the best one this month. You have to be a subscriber to login and vote, and only through the end of this month. I hope that if you are holding a tag or going on a sheep hunt that this story gets you fired up for December 1st! I'm glad it is limited to "once in a lifetime" in Arizona and hope that everybody that desires to hunt desert bighorns gets their opportunity. I surely won't ever take it for granted and hope to pay it forward someday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chef Report post Posted October 19, 2011 Congratulations on all accounts. Nice writeup and well written. I love the pic of the ram from behind. They look HUGE that way! Live it up, you deserve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Chef!! And, I couldn't agree with you more on how big they look from behind. Some of the best advice I got, early on in preparing for the hunt, was to NEVER judge them from behind. When I asked why I was told, "Because you will shoot the first one you see!" Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
