Need help recovering ram

[walks with deer]

Ps srupp your normally a solid dude no offense taken i was saying..
Simply ethically call that hunt over or shoot another sheep.
I broke my leg packing a goat solo..i had to leave it to get out..not proud just decided no point going back and let my goat tag that year rott..you can not tag what you do not have legally.

Cheers Walks with deer. You post did not offend me. I know i made mistakes and thats why i want to learn more about it. Where did i hit the animal? Did it recover? What else should have i done during my search?

While im still young and dumb enough, i dont see the harm in getting a few more miles on the body and truly learning the lesson. If nothing else it would just mean the world to my hunting partner and i to find out what happened. Like i said earlier we put alot into this hunt and the sad ending cuts deep , as it would with all hunters.

I disagree in 30plus heat you shoot a animal and dont find it. There is no trophy in recovery at that point..

Throw in the towel and admit you lost the animal.
Recovering a week old carcess and claiming tbe horns is down right stupid.. i saw a guy register boon and crocket game he found a week later..no feet there. If you want to?
A go look for that sheep cool hes probably still ticking.
B.go pick up some maggot horns there is no pride there cool.
C.go shoot another sheep cool.

But d go pick up some rotten shit you took the shot for the wrong reasons.

I would quit hunting tbose sheep for the season knowing i took one or go shoot another...

Wow, pretty piss poor.

Jack russel..understand intent..original poster wants to close the file great..seemed somepeople where encouraging him to pick up horns because its a sheep..sounds like chrysprin is a pretty ethical guy and will do what he needs to do..

No foul intent towards him..i wish him luck and closure.

Kirby's the man whoa nice on you hunter, excellent response on HBC from top class hunters Amen!
-- this is what makes HBC the top of the chain now!
And I was taught wounded animals go down hill so maybe try down a ways very slowly tho.
Nice to have a new member with such class.
Jello -- HELLO!

good luck on your search

Did you punch the tag?

How do you explain to the CO that you have a punched sheep tag and no sheep. This is a CI animal

^^^^Could be wrong, but I took it simply as a question, not a suggestion that he should have cut his tag.
