Desert Bighorn - Pic Heavy

[grizzly_]

(forgive some duplication from a thread on my once-malfunctioning gun but I wanted to post these pics for those not looking at the firearm posts who dream of hunting desert sheep)...

Two years ago my wife drew a Desert Bighorn tag in Utah and got a great ram on a backpack hunt









Somehow I beat the odds and drew our second sheep tag out of the random pool in three years. I've made two scouting trips already, with another planned for next week, and then the hunt starts the middle of September. I've only found one shooter ram but a bunch of ewes and lambs that will hopefully bring in the rams once the season starts














I hope to have a more productive scouting trip next time. Wish me luck, I'll post pics if I get them!

What luck! Hope you have success similar to your wife's--that was a stud sheep.

Nicely done! What a beautiful trophy ram! Thanks for sharing the great photos.

"stud sheep"? Nope; nothing equine about that ram.

Is that the hunt where your wife killed her ram on a broken ankle? Love the pics.

That's it. Most people can't walk to the car with a broken ankle and she just bought a roll of KT Tape and tightened up her boots to go hunting. Had surgery when we got back. Tough girl!

I was telling my son about your wife because he badly sprained his ankle a week ago and has a high country Muley hunt starting Saturday. Gotta grind.

Very cool connection with your wife’s hunt! Good luck and looking forward to the story in a couple weeks.

Outside of Alaska, about the only sheep hunting I'd want to do is in that area. Big, wild, open spaces breathtaking country. Looking forward to the followup. Good luck!
