I recognized the spot from the lock block in the background. Been there hundreds of times.

There's been some super rams in that herd over the years. Look in my gallery to see one of the biggest.

Only a couple hundred times?

Have fun tomorrow.

Tell those boys I bet they can't tackle one of them big rams.

Nice pictures, my wife took many of these rams and as Mark pointed out she walked almost within touching distance of the critters. Each time I see them I get frustrated that you can’t hunt them there. Sure would look nice on the wall and no over hill and dale dragging involved.

I feel the same, if theres a decent population, why couldnt there be 1 or 2 LEH's per year??? Maybe archery only??? Anyone know why not???

These sheep are very habituated to humans, pretty much the same as Park sheep, they're basically town pets, it's really a question of fair chase and social acceptability, you wouln't need a gun or a bow, a ball peen hammer would probably be enough weapon. There is no biological or conservation reason, there's actually an excess of rams in the herd and lots of them are very old, very big, trophy quality rams.

Are you sure, did you ever watch those guys struggle with just a small ram or a ewe, and they're young tough guys too? It's real rodeo and fairly dangerous, you get flailed around, bashed into the chute walls, trampled, butted, peed on, pooped on, and ground into the mud.
