My 04 Ore. Ram

My 04 Ore. Ram

I drew my tag after 16 years! I stalked this guy twice with a bow and then he changed zip-codes. Soooooooooo close too! He fell to my trusty .243 and I got it on video. The small photo is of him two months earlier. My 12 year old daughter and I found him. After living in the desert for three months, this was the best I could find out of 30 rams. Truly magnificent animals. I have come to respect old rams. The rest of the photos are from the scouting trips.

Wow. Terrific ram. California Bighorn I'm assuming, correct? Not a Rocky. You put in the effort that makes the reward all the sweeter. Congratulations!

Now eastern Oregon is some big ass country LOL. So a little more precise Does not look like the steens so which John Day or one of the other big time deep river canyons.

I don't see many people out here and my wife hasn't drawn her sheep tag yet! Ask me again after she draws. The odd are only 400:1. ;-)

Great story and a beautiful animal. I've put in for sheep since day one in Washington, which is about 20 years. I can only dream about being drawn!!!!!!
