Outdoor Writer Report post Posted December 10, 2012 He isn't a B&C ram, but he's dead, tagged and at the taxidermist. Killed with my .264 WM in the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge on Dec. 7, 2012.Thanks to Tom Joiner (TJ) for all his help and companionship. If anyone here ever gets a chance to hunt with TJ, DO NOT pass up the chance. It will likely be one of the more enjoyable experiences of your lifetime.More later. (L to R) -- Tom Joiner (TJ) TJ finishing up the skinning job. The 175-yd uphill shot was from the hill at about 9 o'clock off TJ's shoulder on the left side -- his right shoulder. Used a 140-gr. bullet in the .264. DRT! The spoils, destined to be summer sausage, hanging in TJ's walk-in cooler Now let the sniping begin. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chef Report post Posted December 11, 2012 Tony, Thanks for sharing your photos with us. You can scratch this trophy off of your list now. I know you made the best of your opportunity and God bless TJ for stepping up the way he did. I'll pay him back for you when he draws his tag, no worries there. Congratulations again to all of you. It was great hearing from you guys from up on the mountain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
