i thought that was the case, lots of time spent on that ram, well at least your husband knows that he lives and it will make a great story when he gets him this season.
i never thought for a second that someone would have tried to harvest him illegally knowing the area he is in..
did he take 2 shots at that ram?
the ram sure looked to be in good health when he was running away from us.
One shot and definitely legal. He was hunting with a partner, both are experienced sheep hunters, and both watched this ram for some time to make sure. Honestly I hope he gets him next year - you bet that ram will be a great story on the wall!
thats awesome,, thanks for the info,, it was one of those things that you could speculate on for hours, now we know.
cheers
Man where do I find a wife that wants a sheep on the wall . Do you have a sister ? LOL That will be great when your hubby gets to hold that ram . Good luck to him next year . There are many sheep that have a bullet whole in the horn . Its hard not to look at the horns even aiming
Its a work in progress... He would say more needs to be on the walls, he definetly could fill them. But this sheep is different! It's the first time I've been around for a hunt like this. Getting to talk about this ram on our wall is far better then having to keep hearing about the one he lost 😜
I think this sheep is getting known enough that the hunt next year will be even that more intense. Many in this area already know about him, the race is on...
Is your husband a fabricator??
