Tippy the Ram-Desert Bighorn Sheep AZ

[Jay Scott]

Darr and I had seen this ram in Unit 44B North that we nicknamed Tippy several times over the 2009, 2010 and 2011 scouting seasons. These first pics were captured on 10/26/10 prior to Ron Arndorfer's Hunt. Tippy continued to grow and then was harvested in December of 2011 by hunter Brad Reily of Yuma. Congrats to Brad on a great ram!

The nickname came from Darr. He kept talking about the ram that kind of tipped up. So we started calling him Tippy. Sometimes the names just come from nowhere. It definitely makes it easier to keep track of rams between us when they get a nickname. We even had one named "pinky" last year. Don't ask..............
