The patch looks to have TAMs lion.

Me too, and the fish, and the scantily clad parapalegics

When I had my ram measured it was the 3rd ever measurement the lady did. I didnt care what she wrote down to be honest. I haven't had it measured since.

If you're lucky enough to draw a tag, just enjoy your ramburgers.

They’re on Instagram and Facebook.

People that are upset about this probably have a ram teetering on the 160s I would bet. Nobody wants to log a 50s.

Day 2 Hunt Update Another before-5 a.m. wake-up call had us dragging a bit, but we pushed back into the same canyon we hunted opening morning. This time, no other hunters were in there—just us, yes! As the first light started creeping in, my buddy with the tag whispered that he had an elk spotted. Hard to tell in the grey light if it was a bull, but based on the size and the fact we haven’t seen many cows in there, I was pretty sure it was. A few seconds later, I spotted another elk the same time my brother whispered he had eyes on a second one. Things were getting good fast. About five minutes later the light got just good enough, and we could clearly tell they were both bulls and one of was definitely a shooter. They were feeding their way across the ridge to the south of us and heading up into a draw. We were really hoping they'd pop back out along the ridge directly in front of us instead of disappearing up the draw. Another few minutes passed and then a third elk stepped out on the far side of the draw. Bingo. Three bulls, all headed in a direction that would put them about 300 yards in front of us. The three of us quietly glassed them and then all agreed on which bull was the biggest. My buddy loaded his rifle. I gave him the yardage—255 yards. Perfect. The bull stepped out from behind a bush, standing perfectly broadside, and my buddy sent it. Looked like a hit, but the bull barely reacted. The bull walked maybe 20 yards and stopped broadside again. I told him to reload and hit him one more time to be sure. And then the worst happened. His gun jammed. Probably ran his bolt too softly in the excitement. As he tried to clear it, I scrambled to sort out his mag. Five seconds… ten seconds… felt like ten minutes. The bull was still somehow just standing there. Finally got the jam cleared, took aim, and sent another round. Again, not even a flinch. We were all thinking, what is going on? Then the bull suddenly tipped forward and started going down. Yes! He went down for good and we were all super excited! As we were high fiving and giving congratulations, five more bulls came out from nowhere. It’s always crazy how many elk can be right in front of you without ever being seen. My buddy asked if we should’ve waited and I told him absolutely not—250 yards, broadside, on a great bull? I would take that any day of the week, at least that’s my opinion. Then came the part every hunter loves: the pack out. Took two full trips to get him off the mountain. Long day, heavy loads, sore legs, but totally worth it. Could not be happier for my buddy—his first big-game animal with a darn nice bull. Thanks to everyone following along with this thread, and good luck to everyone still out hunting. After roughly 20 miles in the last three days, I’m honestly looking forward to “sleeping in” until the babies wake me up probably around 6:15 tomorrow haha.

Probably a Mexican in Sonora with a lively hood at stake

Tuesday morning we spent trying to find a nut for the power steering pulley but ended up with out one. So I spent the rest of the hunt with no power steering which wasn’t bad. That evening we went out and stayed up high with no luck. Wednesday was spent down low and in the evening time we got on some elk but had to back out cause the snow storm that came in. Thursday, the last day was a little more exciting, we cut some fresh bull tracks in the snow and decided to go for a walk. Less then 20 minutes later we had a 330-340 class bull at 100 yards but since we basically went straight up a mountain my neighbor who is 57, a smoker, has bad knees and hips was winded by the time he got in place and the bull took off. We stayed in the area till dark to find him but he was gone. Finished the hunt with tag soup. But did learn a little about a new unit I’ve never hunted before.

I remember that. It looked like the pink panther. Lol

It was but there was still a few freaks killed. The dude who got it scouted for 3 weeks leading up to opening day.

The new “patch” is a worthless sticker. Edit: I see this has been addressed. Stan 2019 got checked.

My buddy said his ram was taped and scored in under a minute. Came out 3” smaller than what he was scored by a guy who’s killed over 40 sheep.

Only if she is 5'3"
