Nice! Congratulations!

This makes #10 with my bow, I still have the 2 new turkeys left to get and believe it or not I still needs my Coues Whitetail (with my bow I have one with a rifle) to finish off my Archery Big 10 and working on my Archery Big 13. Again without Great Friends and Family I would not have been able to make this happen.

I know the Drawing Gods have been very kind to me to allow me to draw both of these tags and harvest both of these beautiful rams with my bow as well.

I'm on a MiFi card in a remote location hopefully I will have real internet by next week. Thanks he's makes my Archery Dessert Bighorn Ram look tiny the body and horns are so much bigger!

Hopefully I'll have time to elaborate but I just wanted to get a quick shout out to everyone that helped make my hunt a success! A Special thanks to my son JD, to my buddies Bill and Mike, Parker Colburn and my wife as well. Another special thank you to my guide Darr Colburn for putting us in the right places to get it accomplished. It's been a while since I've been on the boards and posted anything so this might take a few tries my internet crashed the first time I tried this. Enjoy!

I drew a 6A/22North Rocky Mountain Bighorn Tag. Obviously from my icon pic 10 years ago I harvested my Desert Bighorn in 39 W with my bow with the help of some good friends!

During the Elk Hunt in 4B this year someone stole a camera off of a tank that was locked and lag bolted to the tree from some people who had up several cameras and tree stands we met up there. They sat these tanks for morning and evening hunts so someone came during the mid day to steal it. We had several people come up to ours and look them over but were lucky enough not to have any of ours stolen. I'm planning on investing in some boxes myself for the easyier spots to get to. I guess we need to have seceret cameras, watching our cameras?

Was the lion taken in Arizona? If it is an Arizona Lion it probably wouldn't be over 130 pounds.
-
It looks like it is a dual cam system? I still have my old Mattews LS that I hope to finish my Big 10 with this year! My son has the new Z7 which makes my bow look like it should be on the shelf. Our bag target wont even stop his arrows from blowing through.

Looks Like a place where the deer and elk roam town called "Elk Park Medows" They had a huge bull several years ago that ran town that someone poached eventually. Some guy back east took it to the taxidermist and got nailed for it!
-
I love this play by play! Keep it coming! I personally chase in the morning and sit water in the afternoons till dark. You doing this on your Blackberry or you have your laptop and Verizon card?
-
Did you have a Blunt handy? It is about respect and I was chomping at the bit all weekend myself. I have 2 hidden waterholes that I know 2 nice bulls have been using but some other guy/guys has had a camera and a blind set up on it for the last 3 weeks or so. I did talk to one of them and they have cow tags on top of that. Obviously the guys are braver than I am because i wont leave my Double Bull blind at a water hole overnight let alone several weeks. Loosing a camera is bad enough. I have other spots and hope the best for the two brothers sitting the two tanks and have to just hope they tag a cow soon.
-
Great job and Great story and Great Video! Keep up the good work!
-
Well, at least you didn't have 2 planes collide right over your head and hit the ground 150 yards and 300 yards from your double bull blind!
-
4B is doing better than normal. Bugling from night through about 9 or 10 AM. Chased some heards and called in a few raghorns but nothing so far. New job and I'm only able to hunt 2-3 day weekends for my bull. Still lots of feed and water everywhere, there should be some awesome bulls taken this year. I'll be hurting the next couple of days trying to recooperate from all the hiking and chasing. It's amazing how much country a fat and out of shape guy can cover with those bulls screaming at each other as your chasing them. LOL
-
I guess I never considered putting a trail cam up on a scratch. I always just cover them up so the next time I'm through I know if a Tom has been through the area or not.
-
Perrison helped me get my first bear about 20 years ago. He sold one of those bulls to Ray Nehause and he had it full body mounted bedded as a display at his shop. Needless to say he mounted my bear rug for me, don't know if he's still around I think it was Bighorn Taxidermy off 12 and Northern somewhere.
-
Great job and I think if your boy isn't hooked into hunitng he will be now! Congrats!

Getting the hide off ASAP and getting your meat cooled is the best thing. Fortunately I was a meat cutter for several years and have my own walk in cooler, saw, and grinder. Over the last 6 or 7 years though I have not even quartered an animal the old traditional way in fact we dont even gut the animal. We split the hide from the hind quarter all the way up to the back of the head and skin it out onsite. We lay the hide out like a blanket and take the hind quarter off at the hip joint, filet the back strap out, bone the neck, shoulder, ribs out and make an incision in the last rib and reach in and take out the fillets and other parts we need. Then we flip it over and do the same thing. You can set these sections in the shade and on shrubs and the air alone immediatly starts to cool the meat in any weather. I know all my circle of friends does this same type of system but I'm sure were not alone here right? With some heavy duty bags or old pillow casses we just wrap them up and start packing them out!

Here are the pics of my Desert ram **.
Harlow's Wildlife Studio is the only shop that I would take my stuff to in southern AZ, the detail he puts into all his mounts amazes me. Also, because of how much time he spends in the field looking at live sheep and ground checking Monster rams with clients.... it kind of makes him hard to beat on any sheep mount or custom sheep mount! 
** and a bonus side look of my Dall ram.
Sorry, for the long downloads...
... after seeing RR's close-ups I thought I should show off the these rams a bit better than I did my deer pics.... 
Can you send me some pix of your Desert mount, the base really. Mine is just getting ready to be mounted but I haven't settled on a base yet. I'd like to see a close up of yours. Thanks.
