Nice!!! Let's hear about it!!

Great ram!

Congratulations! Let’s hear the story. Anymore pictures?

For you guys asking for more pics and my hunt details, here goes...........I drew this tag at the hunt expo in February, absolutely lucked out, couldn't believe it when I got the email, especially since I drew Henry Mtn bison tag at the expo 3 years ago! I scouted 4 or 5 times during the summer, only seeing small rams and ewes, had several coming to help but at last minute my son found out he drew a SW desert bull elk as an alternate. Since his season was only 9 days and I had a month, I told them to help on the elk hunt first.
Soooo........... opening day it was my daughter and I! First day we hiked in at 630am, all the way up Squirrel Canyon across Canan Mtn almost all the way to Canan Springs glassing every nook and cranny, no sheep, hiked 12 miles, it was hot, got back to the truck at 7pm dog tired.
Next morning my daughter and I went up the virgin river early, typical Utah........campers, hikers, 4 wheel clubs every where, most were not up and going yet, so we took our time glassing every ridge, passed a group of ten toyota trucks from CA. camped pretty far in, right after that we I spotted a ram at 400 yards up high at the base of the sandstone cliffs, he was really on the move so we did our best to get ahead of him. We were able to close the distance to 250. The ram froze, staring at us from up high, I caught my breath, looked him over really good and decided I couldn't pass on this ram, I got on my shooting sticks, took my time and sent a 270 hornady eldx his way, hit him perfect and he came crashing down to the bottom of the canyon. I will always remember putting my hands on this beautiful animal and how lucky and grateful I was to have had the opportunity to hunt them! A big thanks to my daughter who was a warrior princess and great pack mule! See you at the expo next year! Trump 2020!

Sorry for the late response was helping my son in SW Desert! Included a pic of the buffalo too.
