Sheep on the Brain....

[amp713]

I just want the opportunity to taste sheep on a mountain he was harvested on...

Sheep tenderloin, flash fried in its own Sheep fat with a touch of garlic salt is off the chain. Render down some fat in that jet boil, cut that loin real thin, cooks super fast, hit it with salt as it’s on its way to your mouth....ohhhh man.

Pretty hard to beat for sure.

BRWNBR makes a great point. Sheep fat is the ideal fat for rendering. The lady I sheep hunt with is very particular about keeping all of the good fat as possible on a sheep. The spider web fat that surrounds the stomach and kidneys is her favorite. She uses this fat to fry biscuits in along with other assorted goodies. The key is to keep the fat as clean as possible and imperative not to taint it with blood.

We also keep the heart (my favorite), liver, oysters, tongue, stomach fat, and sometimes even the jowl meat.

Crappy photos, but can't wait to get out there again this year! Can't shoot one myself this year, but hopefully can be an extra sets of eyes and legs!

Well, apparently I still have sheep on the brain again today, because here I find myself looking at pictures from last year.

Here's my personal ram from last season...

Gonna have to try BRWNBR's recipe in the MSR Reactor.

Oh ya.... ribs and heart from a couple different mtn ranges.

I’ve never hunted Sheep where there’s wood for a fire!! Lol
Synd I love those grips on your pistol...very sharp. Did you make them up yourself or have someone else work them?

 

[Jimbob]

oh man this is too much.

Sheep ribs and tenderloin over an open fire and thin steaks deep fried in sheep fat has my mouth watering. I think I will eat a 1/4 of the sheep before I get it off the mountain.

They were done by Rob Rowen, one of the best custom grip makers out there. He is the only one to have been able to study under Roy Fishpaw who is probably the premier custom grip maker in our lives. Roy and Rob are true artists at their craft. Men worthy of cutting up a set of ram horns!

ROWEN CUSTOM GRIPS, LLC - Home

I supplied him with horns from a small ram I killed in the Brooks years ago and worked out a deal. He could have been a "gotcha" ram. I shot him as full curl and F&G sealed him as such. I must say... it was a "whew.." moment! I had him as a euro mount for a few years now the hunt is memorialized on my custom 500 Linebaugh.

Rob requires the whole gun to make grips. Some grip makers will allow you to just send the grip frame. Rob cuts the horn then ages the slabs then has them stabilized. Horns need to be aged/dried for at least 3-4 years before he'll cut them. I sent him a tracing of my hand which he compares to his own hand makes the grips accordingly. He adds palm swell and contours them in a way that makes a huge difference ih handling the recoil. Truly amazing. The fit to the frame is impeccable.

Pics don't do the horn justice. Sheep horn is really awesome. It's the new Ivory. I'd love to have some BigHorn grips on a stainless gun.

Last year's hunt will be hard to top,, this Booner is my best to date and he has been the tastiest too. Have a Kodiak Tag and air booked for the Wrangels so I'm stoked for 2018.

Looks delicious Steve!! Something about cooking over an open fire to bring our inner caveman to light!

Booner you say, ok, now ya gotta throw some numbers at as. Age, length, bases, score? I love hearing about the big rams. You'll have a great time in the Wrangel's. My favorite range to sheep hunt.

Anybody else with sheep pictures, post em up?!?!

It's been a long winter, the sheep hills are calling.

Fish and Game kid aged him at 9, 39 7/8 on the strong side and bases over 14.5, really carried his mass all the way out. right at 170 as I remember. Don't have the sheet with me and my old timers is kicking in. No monster, but a trophy to me.

This year may be my last OTC hunt, so it will be bittersweet. I will have to live the hunt through you young guns.

Great Ram!! Once I started killing a few big one's, I find them much more interesting, lol.

And easy now on the young guns line, lol. Pushing 40, I don't feel quite so young anymore, but I'll keep hunting sheep as long as my body will let me.

It's always nice looking through my spotter.......and seeing this.

It's always nice looking down.......and seeing this.

We passed on these two last season. ...just too close to pull the trigger. Thoughts? No sheep on the stick for this guy, just lots of counting in my sleep.
