This is my own ram that I mounted. I got it in 98 on the South Fork of the Shoshone near Cody. I shot him the last hour of the last day after hunting a total of 22 days; I had passed on a few bigger rams early and then I could not find a ram for many days after. My son who was 12 at the time was with me on the hunt, just the two of us. When I shot at him first I missed! He was about 350 yards out uphill but then after he took off he turned around and gave me another crack and the when I shot he disappeared into a deep brushy rock slide. We looked for him and/or blood in the dark with pen lights and when I found him I was so happy I cried. We were on foot and two other hunters on horses that we never saw before were all of a sudden there in the dark, they had heard the shots. So they packed it out for us to the trail head. Nothing like sheep hunting, esp. with your son!  | ||
