Desert Bighorn Ram hunt,,
You are blessed indeed MikeP. Your Desert ram is as pretty as they get in my book. It's unfortunate that the demand for sheep tags is so great that few rams get as old and outstanding as yours. Well done sir.- littlebighorn

Desert Bighorn Ram hunt,,
I'm late to this conversation Mustangs Rule, but I'll add my two bits. I have been on over a dozen desert bighorn hunts, but only one of my own. Like many who have hunted them, including ol Jack and you, I agree that desert sheep are special. I'm only two years behind you in age but I'm still...- littlebighorn

Utah Desert BH sheep
That's a great use of a turned back tag for sure. Congratulations! The rut for desert sheep in Utah varies, depending on the unit and herd source. The Native Utah sheep rut generally goes the month of November. In those native sheep units the hunting is often the best just before the season...- littlebighorn

Interesting video on Rampart Sheep
It's tragic when domestic sheep are allowed to wander off and destroy wild sheep. Unfortunately many domestic owners have no clue what their hobby does to wild sheep. I wish we could find a cure!- littlebighorn

NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt
Well done robie. Drawing that tag threw you into an arena that even experienced sheep hunters might struggle with, but ultimately your performance was admirable. Congratulations on a great ram and thanks for sharing.- littlebighorn

25 Wyoming Sheep Points
Lots of good suggestions here Bwillig. I took a Wyoming bighorn in 2004 in Unit 4 with Windriver Mt. Outfitters. At the time I was 54 years old and I was also thinking of going on my own because of the expense, etc. I've always been a DIY guy, but after that sheep experience, I was super glad...- littlebighorn

25 Wyoming Sheep Points
Unless you are on the top of the point pool, a NR applicant will likely never draw a sheep tag in Wyoming.- littlebighorn

NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt
I have learned from personal experience that time always heals raw emotions and no number can ever dictate how good or bad an experience is. I ate tag soup on my first Stone sheep hunt and at the time, I had plenty of negative feelings about the outfit and how it all went down. Now, ten years...- littlebighorn

NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt
I'm really glad to hear that you are still getting after it robie. No doubt it is getting harder, but I'm guessing the challenge will just add to your amazing adventure. Best of luck and Merry Christmas/Happy New Year.- littlebighorn

19 years in the making
Nevada rams generally grow fast and on most years the checkout summary lists the average ram taken is 6 or even younger. I saw the double annuli ring on yours, but he still looks 8 to me. That said, it doesn't really matter because he's a great ram!- littlebighorn

Very excited for you Gr8bawana! That ram is as purdy as they come and even ol Jack (O'Connor) would be proud of your rifle choice! For what it's worth, I have him at 8 years old. Well done. He's a fine old ram indeed!- littlebighorn

44hunter45's 2024 backcountry Idaho Moose semi-live hunt thread.
Sorry to hear 44hunter45. Coming home empty from any limited entry/long awaited experience usually leaves a pretty sick feeling. Certainly if you hunt long enough, it's bound to happen to even the best prepared. It has happened to me more than once so I know nothing I say will help. I do...- littlebighorn

Montana 2024 Ram
Any ram is special, but shooting one with your first rifle is very cool. My first rifle was also an M77 of that era. Well done Buzz. Thanks for the recap.- littlebighorn

NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt
I'm an old guy and I've been very lucky and blessed to take a grand slam of NA sheep. My desert ram scores 172 and is far and away my biggest, but I don't look at any of the rest of my ram mounts with any regrets. They are all cherished. Special draw tags put lots of undue pressure on...- littlebighorn
