    stone success

    My son & I were hunting around Northern B.C. for moose. Luckily we had sheep tags in our pockets. We spotted 9 rams across the valley late in the afternoon. We went back to camp & prepared for a sheep hunt. The next morning we were on our way. After crossing 3 miles of swamps we finally came to the base of the mountain. Luckily there was rain & fog hiding our approach. We climbed for about 2 hrs. to the elevation of the sheep. We had to side hill it for about 600 yards before we were with in shooting distance. The fog was rolling in & out so we had to be careful that the rams didn't spot us. We had to crouch down out of site everytime the fog roled out & wait for more fog to come in. Finnally we were out of site of the rams. Now we could put a stock on them. As we crested the last ridge between the rams & us my son said that he could see the big ram standing up. They had moved & were now 80 yards from us looking our way. I told my son to take him. He removed his pack & used it as a rest,, BOOM a solid hit through the back of the lungs. My sons 1st sheep. Green scored @ 159 1/8" 38 1/4 & 38" 12 1/2 years old. What an exciting hunt. I'm one proud father.

    What beauty! I guess that's what they used to call a Fanin. It always pay to have tags for anything that you might see. Congratulations!

    Very nice ram. Must be nice to not even be hunting sheep and find one like this. When I go sheep hunting I see everything but legal rams. If it could only be the other way.

    yes there was one other legal ram but we figured we would let him mature & breed. One was enough work as it was.
