Wyoming Bighorn success

Recommended Posts

I'm beat.... I though AZ had some tough hunting but Badlands in Wyoming are incredibly tough. Beautiful but tough.

With me "guiding" Ha ha, and packing, My brother in law took a really nice sheep today. The spot an stalk went great with a 2 hour wait him out before he stood up and presented a clear shot from 350 yards. Enjoy the Pics... Oh I'm trying to show my very first digi-scope pic from 800 yards too. It's a bit fuzzy but shows 3 legal rams and the one we took is on the far left. (biggest one we saw)

Thanks for all the comments, I'll pass them on.

 

This ram obviously had a close call with death previously so it gives it a lot of character too. If you look closely at the left Horn, and note how it appears broomed a bit more and shorter than the right one. That horn has a bullet hole right through it and we cannot see for any way how it could not have hit this Ram before passing through it. Amazing stuff.

He is a bit more than a full curl on the right and about 7/8 on the left. Aged to about 7+ .

Yeah it was super rugged but really quite beautiful too. The first 200 yards made this one of the toughest game recovery scenarios I have ever been involved in. Not for the weak of heart or spirit. 60 degree loose sandy and rocky slopes, A real Fear of personal injury and such keeps you respectful of nature.

Here's another picture of the area for rugged reference.
