So what did that ram end up scoring?

And what kept him alive for so long despite all the early season hunters and guides in there? Just luck, or did he maybe move into the area later in the season?

It is highly unlikely any hunters or guides ever glassed or hunted the particular area where I shot him. So I figure he lived most of his life in that particular part of the drainage to get that old. My camp was located in an area that gets hunting pressure but like I mentioned I climbed a very technical section to access a different basin.

Awesome adventure, great write up and pics! Thanks for sharing. I like the helmet idea, never thought of wearing one hunting but it would add protection and I bet it's warm and comfortable.

I would like to shake your hand and buy you a few whiskey's Chinook7!
Epic tale of an epic hunt. Congrats. You weren't lucky, you earned that Ram.
Been there done that with a pup but was nowhere near below zero! This is an entirely new level, and might just be the inspiration I need to try for a late season ram or billy.
But jeez, I dunno...
Never did much winter rock climbing...
Pretty near killed me in late August...
I don't have the proper gear, I'm out HA
Thanks for sharing you crazy sob!
Cheers
