The story of this hunt is more in the 5 years of hunting it took to make happen than it is in this trip. This particular trip is fairly uninteresting, except for the ram of course. .
We went hunting, saw what I wanted, killed it and packed it out.
The ram was laying by himself on an exposed little grass bench that gets the sun and wind, where most of the snow was gone from. He would have been easy to overlook.
I sure am glad I was able to get back in there for a few days. I debated whether or not to come up because I only would have 4 days to hunt. I almost used those days for something else and just stayed home.
I’ve had so much help with this it’s unbelievable. I’ve several friends just from this thread and forum because of this hunt. Several great friends have gone with me, especially Isaac, who was there every step of the way this year and for 12 days last year.
I started doing this hunt in 2015 and have put in over 100 days of hunting. I would dare say I’m up around 200 if you throw in scouting.
Ive had a lot of great, and some downright dogshit cold, windy, socked in blizzarding, frozen hell days long the way. All worth it now
7 years is going to be a long time.

. He might be a little too acclimated to that Arizona. He looked a little chilly on Monday when it was negative out.
Looking forward to the adventure. mtmuley
