    Re: Ram Down, Special Hunter, Inspiration. Appreciation.

    We started our afternoon sitting on a higher ridge glassing up the hillside. I must admit I was starting to feel a bit of pressure as there was nothing more I wanted than to see her kill a ram.

    Many a sheep hunter knows the monotony of glassing, glassing, glassing...

    Well, glassing paid dividends. I saw sheep and my heart raced a bit....FINALLY...RAMS!!!!

    8 rams about 2 km away and one was a definite desired customer. Lovely ram and definitely the man of the group. We glassed the shit out of the terrain and the best way to access without getting busted. Game the F on!

    The hike was brisk, this incredible gal was becoming a mountain machine. I figured 2 hrs to get close...she burned the climb up in an hour! We were poised and in position sitting on a handsome band of rams at 327 yards. Sad part was we could not push much closer without the prospect of getting busted. She got to watch rams buttin heads, rams just doing what they do. Waiting game now. My hope was they would head back downhill to where we first spotted them. If that would play out she would have a well prepared shot perhaps at 175 yards.

    As I continue to digest my time with this amazing person I keep trying to frame the experience in a way that cements it in my head. I learned from a friend, mentor, and elk hunting partner.....he shared with me how he would always take a lengthy pause from a big moment in life. He taught me to freeze frame memories accurately by taking pause.
