[Gateholio]

Hmm

Stone Sheep Steve, BC Rams may be on that list.:-P

Looking forward to seeing the pics!:p

[mark]

Hmmm.... do I know 2 of these guys??? Can you say what color the sheep are???

[Orangethunder]

Looking forward to seeing the pics. I'm also looking forward to horns on my pack next year or maybe even this year:-D.

[Brambles]

I wonder who the third is? Maybe AB?

No phone call??????

You must have known I needed a hand to fix the baler all week and then the mower on the weekend.

30C and a 3/4" bolt snapped in half buried into a sprocket - good times.

Never had that much fun in my life.

[whitetailsheds]

Ok, I'll bite. Here is a shot of my first stone ram after 14 attempts. Yes, 14!!!! Ended up being a 9 year old ram.
After horse trips, jet boats, a few pairs of boots on many hikes, and even one float plane trip, I had success on Aug 2.
There are some individuals on here that I can attribute this successful hunt on, they know who they are. Advice on everything from my impatience and wanting to keep hiking, not glassing enough, optics, equipment, where to look, and where not to look.
Others around me have provided me with similar advice and encouragement.
I've had alot of time to dwell on my past experiences with chasing these guys around. My own thoughts and feedback from others have shown downfalls, and where I could improve have added up to this photo.
Some have luck 1st time out.....some ......not! Took me awhile, but as a great philosopher once said, "Git 'er done, Got 'er did".

Nice Ram, I hope I run into one like that!!!!!

[springpin]

nice ram. Well deserved!

[hunter1947]

Very nice ram ,congrats.

[calvin L]

At this point all sheep are salt and pepper in color . So SSS and Bc rams
are not on the list . Two rams came out from a boat trip & the other one was a walk in of the hwy .

Want some cheese with that? You wanted to be a cowboy. Shoulda bought a quad instead.

Nice ram WTsheds! Congrats on the first HBC ram of the season!

[bwhnter]

NIce ram. Man am I in withdrawls. Just seeing that pictures has given me a nasty twitch!

Would that be some of the WSSBC directors having some luck????

[jml11]

nice to see a ram already, good job WTsheds, sounds like you're definitely deserving of it!

Now for the other two...and no they are not from BCrams or SSS. I work with BCrams and if he was back and successfull he would be at my office already showing it off.

[Avalanche123]

Well done on a successful hunt. Great way to start your season! Love the colour of that ram too!

[bigwhiteys]

Ok, I'll bite. Here is a shot of my first stone ram after 14 attempts. Yes, 14!!!!

Nice Ram WTS, 14 attempts is a good run! Don't feel too bad though! I know of others who've gone much longer... 20 years+. They were holding out for very special rams though.

[Blainer]

Great Ram!
Now that's what I have been waiting for.
19 days till my draw.

[Flingin' Sticks]

I know that string fling was/is out chasing stones right now...

[Fisher-Dude]

JML, those two aren't sheep hunting, they're just holding a high country fashion show with all the new gear they bought! :razz:

[Caveman]

Nice Looking Ram, Congrats!! Well worth the wait I'd say

[jml11]

I'm sure, BCrams is one of the best at doing that!http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Deadshot]

Beauty ram, WTSheds!
Amazing it took 14 attempts.
Now how long is going to take to wipe the smile off your face.:biggrin:

[kennyj]

Hey WTSheds.
Awesome Ram! Great photo! Must of been a great experience.The longer it takes the bettor it is.

[whitetailsheds]

"Beauty ram, WTSheds!

Now how long is going to take to wipe the smile off your face.:biggrin:"

The smile actually came off after hiking several hrs back to the truck. Still had 3 more KM's to go, when being tired, I jumped off a boulder (shoulda stepped down), with fully loaded pack, and popped a plastic buckle on the shoulder strap of my pack. The pack went off to the one side but was able to catch it enough to prevent me from falling as well as the pack from completely hitting the deck.
Jimmy rigged the strap back together, finished the pack out, lop sided, and the smile came back!!!!!

PS: just saw an 8 year old ram being inspected at Pouce Coupe. Folks in Trail can expect to see this one.

[Laurence_Erickson]

[Krico]

After 13 unsuccessful attempts, that must feel awesome!

Congrats big time on a great ram!

[Kitimat Killer]

what a ram way to go it took me 4 years and im still speachless all i can say is what a ram u must be smilling from ear to ear

[Rattler]

Whitetailsheds, Great looking ram! Congrats and what a beautiful cape.

[Buck]

Congrads on the Ram you deserve it.Now thats commitment

[gbear]

Hi folks,

This is my first post on here and it only seems fitting that it is to congratulate whitetailsheds on his ram as he pointed me in the direction of this forum.

Great looking ram. Way to go - hard earned and well deserved! I know it will be a long time before the smile disappears.

I just got back from my sheep hunt yesterday. Nothing down this year, bu great experience none the less. My partner and I backpacked in to the general area we got a double header last year (my first ram). Seen 28 rams, but couldn't fit a full curl on any of them. Lots of Grizz this year too.

More people in the area this year. On the hike out, we went by 3 different camps, plus the outfitters camp. The outfitter was the only one that found a legal one up to that point.

[Kechika]

Congrats WTS. I just got word that one of our members shot a 160 ish Ram.

[MattB]

Wasnt bcrams was it? :confused:

[calvin L]

Matt B not yet I have not heard from them .

[todbartell]

maybe it was Danny, I heard he is a a member of Kechika's "group"

[Kechika]

Nope not Bucks.Im sure he'll post up soon enough

[GoatGuy]

Heard about 5 other rams that hit the ground in the last couple days.

[bighornbob]

I know, that's when holidays start. :-P

Couple weeks up north and then down to 4 at the end of the month for one special ram. Broke at 6 and he's 9 now- should have broke the line again. As long as he made it through the summer should be a good hunt.

Yes, but I don't have them.

[guest]

WTS,
Congrats to you, what a quest eh? It took me nine attempts over 12 years turning down I'm sure legal Rams as to not make a fool of myself. Rams above me, below me ...... but never sideways to me..... A guys got to be sure!
Finally I took the sure thing and party ON!! What a feeling eh?
Again, congrats, I am sure this ram took allot of hard work and dedication by you. To Cool !
Your Ram is a great colour, what did he age at?
Thanks for the pic.
Also, sounds like a few guys just might be after the same Ram, oh and he made the winter, summers easy. The race is on ! What time is sunrise opening day?

Just got an email from a buddy about three other successful sheep hunts, one trip the guys shot four rams and three of them were together, never seen that before!! One is a hog too! If I knew the guys I would post photos, maybe they'll turn up on here yet.

[BCRiverBoater]

3 rams together...nice luck but I hope they left a ram in the band or kiss that valley good bye for years and years.
