Sorry I forgot to post! I am happy to help anyone in the future FYI. I got a good ram for the unit. I looked over a lot of rams. I had ZERO interest in shooting one near houses and was very happy to find one no where near homes and very spooky. I found him in the evening without enough time to go after him that evening - not enough daylight. I was keeping an eye on him and 2 ewes and looking elsewhere. I could see them with my naked eye - 3 brownish blobs. About sunset I glanced over and the 3 brownish blobs turned into 1 and oranger. Panic set in. Got spotting scope on them it shee were gone and a mountain lion was looking downhill at where they had been! AARRRGGGHHHH I did not relocate them that evening. That was a LONG night - this was the best ram I had seen in a week and the best I could hope for in this unit.

The next day in the same area I spotted 2 young lions - most likely one was form the night before. My friend was able to locate the sheep again 2-3 miles away. It took all day and laying 125 yards away miserably uncomfortable for 3 hours while they bedded out of sight 150 yards away. Finally got my shot. Score 168

Congrats man. Great ram! That’s awesome country up there.

Hey Don! Could I pick your brain on unit 100. My girlfriend drew the tag this year. Would love to chat and get some pointers!

Not sure if we can direct message on here as I ran across this forum, saw your post and created an account to reach out!

Hope all is well, look forward to chatting!
