| Great ram, deep, wide, mass and beautiful length.
How long, what are the bases and what did it score?
The ram of many life times!!! |

| Thanks! I was 41 1/2" x 14 1/2 bases. Held its mass all the way through. I would have to look at the score sheet, but I think 171 and some change was the final score. I've killed a lot of rams, but nothing like this one. I wish I had a picture of the group before we got ours out of it. It was "regal" to see a group of 11 rams all sleeping 50 yards away! That picture will is an image I will never forget. |

I've seen similar. A chill just runs up & down my spine when I see a group of rams together and it's too bad more people can't have that type of life experience. Later, Bear in Fairbanks
Unless you're the lead dog, the scenery never changes.
I never thought that I'd live to see a President worse than Jimmy Carter. Well, I have.

The best part was I am not sure my buddy or I got the biggest of the group. Certainly didn't get the cream of the crop. Story that I just can't tell at this time! It might pop up down the road in a hunting book though!  |

I know the feeling. The last time I went to the Yukon, I thought this might be my last sheep hunt. I was cold & wet. Tired from 10 days of non stop climbing. Tired of horrible weather. Thinking I was too old. Then I peered over the ledge and saw those rams. All those thoughts were erased from my mind. Hell of a ram brother. |

| I leave 8/20 for an attempt at the white sheep.
Mid November for Big Horn.
Good luck! |

| Nice! Best of luck! I will find a white sheep one way or another! Either where I found this one or in the Wrangell St. Elias park later in the season! |

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson

| I think you must have had a great hunt.
What a great Ram
Harvesting a ram of any size is one of the greatest hunts a guy in North America could ever experience.
At any age.
Again super hunt with a super Ram

He didn't get that ram from any of those areas. Just your average over the counter harvest tag in an area that anyone can get to. |

| Not sure which did the damage! Both hit it. I'm guessing the .300 did it, but not sure to be honest with you. Both shots made it dead! |
