I was lucky enough to go on this big horn hunt with my youngest son Chuck last Nov 2023.

We hunted the sheep for 5 days and finally found a decent ram to take was a hell of a task to
get this ram out in the late darkness of the night.

We saw around 50 rams on the hunt and around 4 that where takers .
My son just got into hunting 2 years ago this ram was his first take on big game animals
this 2024 year Chuck is coming up for a WT,,mule deer and elk hunt try to put down one of
these 3 animals with his old man LOL

This was the Spence’s bridge draw wasn’t it? Think I recognize the pick. Story was it was his first LEH or something? Odds 1:700 lol

It’s a beautiful ram Salty, priceless to share it with you son. I give you praise for climbing the mountain. I did that with my 19 yr old this year with no preparation and it was a grind to say the least. Keep on keeping on Wayne. Everyone wants a big horn ram but few want to climb the mountain….

It's very similar to my friend Kun's experience. He moved from Edmonton AB to Burnaby BC in 2021, got CORE and applied LEH for the first time in 2022. He drew a November ram. He was a excellent marksman who shoots at a range every weekend, but he had no hunting experience other than grouse hunting a month before the ram hunt. His first LEH application, first successful draw, first big game hunt, first big game killed were all that ram. We did one pre-scout and spent 3 days hunting, saw about 20-30 rams but only 2 were takers. Shot the older one of the two.
