Thanks for sharing an awesome story. No snark, your devotion to giving the tag your all is an inspiration.

Incredible story. Hard to imagine putting that sort of total commitment into it. I do admire the determination.

One day I would like to sink my teeth into a bighorn steak or tenderloin.

@Greenhorn Did you log your total miles hiking for this hunt? It has to be an incredible number. Congrats on your well earned trophy.

Absolutely Amazing!! What an awesome tale of dedication. Way to go @Greenhorn. Thank you so much for bringing us along on your journey. That is an incredibly beautiful animal and couldn’t have been taken by a more deserving hunter.

Beautiful ram, Kurt.

Glad I screen shot it. More than once I had to open weird .jpg on my desktop and laugh, “oh yeah, GH sheep hunt”.

I decided yesterday my hunt was over - but also wanted a beautiful Spanish Peaks ram for my wall and had a few days left. It’s not the Boorman ram - but I am so happy. I’m hoping my plug can be MT88.

This sums it up to me. You put so much effort into this hunt and understood the animal you were hunting so well that you could end it whenever you wanted. Great job making the most (and then some) of your tag and the experience you could get out of it. Your ram was well earned and is a magnificent animal. Congratulations, and thank you for taking us along on the journey!

It will seem odd to sleep in your own home/bed for days on end.

An adventure to admire well told. Thanks

Happy for you Kurt… you did it right and with grace.

Happy Thanksgiving and much deserved rest!

Can't say how jacked I was to hear you got your ram Kurt.
Back in May the two of us became friends thanks to the luck of the draw. Though I didn't get a chance to scout with Greenhorn, or him with me, we literally communicated on an almost daily basis through to the end. Sharing our adventures and comparing notes on everything sheep.
I knew this guy had grit but his sheep hunt took on a whole new showcase of determination, dedication, and upper echelon hard core.
I joined him to scout just once earlier this week. We saw one quality ram but Kurt passed ...he still had one sheep on his mind. With time running out he held on. Then THE sheep was killed by another hunter. The Dude showed unbelievable grace...but I know it tore his guts out. It tore my guts out. He earned a crack at that ram and was denied an opportunity after 6 months ...by just minutes.
Such is hunting.
After all that...Greenhorn goes out the next day and kills a fine ram. How is that for fortitude?
I'm pretty certain Kurt will be hunting the mountains hard at 82...carrying the torch for those before and those to come.
Good job Man! So happy for you.
