Super excited for my brother. He just found out this morning that he drew a San Juan Lockheart Ram tag! Trying to help him do some homework now on the unit and find out all the info we can. Its a big unit, 200 square miles, and not a ton of sheep. 2023 surveys show a total of 53 sheep, 18 of which were rams. Would love to get in touch with the 3 guys that hunted it last year or the year before. Any help networking to get in touch with them would be greatly appreciated!

Congrats to your bro gotthefever.
You might PM Zeke on MM.
He killed his ram in that unit, although it was several years ago.

Spend some time on the south end of the unit. Glass and glass and glass. You’ll find them.

Here's a Lockhart ram from 2021. I was with two hunters that killed that year and we got 2 of the only 3 rams we saw. It's a tough unit, but they're there. Just keep hunting.

This ram officially netted 170. The other ram was a 150s ram, which is more what you should be looking for in that unit.

Yep,
That one is way special in any unit, much less the Lockhart. Great ram, and I love Paul's work to bring it back alive.
