2019 Sheep "meatpole"

[jzelina]

Late to the party but helped my brother and our friend out on their hunt this year. Brother had a torn ACL so somebody just haaad to go along and help pack.
Our buddy had first dibs ^

Our dads, 59 & 72, came along as well. We were camped on the opposite ridge and they got to watch the full ~7hr stalk through the spotter. Our buddy letting them know all went right ^

Story time the next day. Got the ram on the opposite face, lower left corner ^

A couple days later and we had my brother's ram down. Only 7 years old but double broomed ^

The dad's back at the strip putting on a clinic ^

Sheep hunting continues to be wholly epic!

Congrats to the boys for sure! I'd love to read a hunt report if you felt inclined to put one together. I'm jonesing to get back after sheep already.

10 days of beautiful weather was a welcome change from last year. Put in over 20,000 vertical feet and had a multi day pack out with this 9 year old ram. Double (ish) Broomed, 38 4/8 x 13 6/8.

Nice sheep

Must have ambushed that guy down on his evening feed. Nice when you get them on the flat like that! Good looking ram.

Good thing the bar was set low! We got my teenage son his first ram 33 7/8 and 34” on his first hunt. No luck for me but season’s not over yet.

Sometimes things just work out perfect. I think we hunted all of an hour and a half.View attachment 117668

I want to give a big shoutout to @adventure907 Not only did he guide a midwest hunter to his first ram a few days prior to my arrival, he drug a Mississippi boy all over those mountains in pursuit of another. We were able to catch up with one and seal the deal. This man is a sheep hunting machine. I'll be writing up a story in the next few days

Alberta bighorn on a resident OTC tag. Finally got one, after 7 years of trying!

One huge day of hiking in, two days of painful hiking out. Memories that will last a lifetime. There really is nothing quite like sheep hunting.

Twenty-three years of applying for Idaho sheep, some experience gained on the way, a lot of helpful advice from several other people, the sweat of my brother and a few really, really good friends, and more than a few miles on my boots paid off with this nine year old ram.

I used a LH Tikka T3X SL in 6.5 CM, topped with a 3-9 SWFA scope and loaded with 147 Hornady ELD-Ms. The shot was at 417 yds off my crossed trekking poles with my Kifaru Reckoning pack under the buttstock.

Thank you to everyone who helped!
