2019 New Mexico Rocky Mountain Bighorn
Like I mentioned at the start of this thread, I just picked the finished mount up from Imperial Taxidermy about two weeks ago. I decided to go with a wall pedestal mount for him. No habitat or anything for now. I have my desert bighorn on the wall here as well (a 13 year old ram from...- wyflyguy

2019 New Mexico Rocky Mountain Bighorn
We decided to haul him all the way out to the trucks, send my brother (who was really struggling with the altitude) to get ice while my neighbor and I went back in to pack up camp. At the end of the day we had hiked something like 16 miles, most of that with very full, heavy packs. It was...- wyflyguy

2019 New Mexico Rocky Mountain Bighorn
We quickly gathered our things and started picking our way down to where the sheep had been. When we got there, we peeked over the edge. It shouldn't have been hard to find him, but it took a few minutes. Finally, we found him piled up in a scree field a couple hundred yards below us. So...- wyflyguy

2019 New Mexico Rocky Mountain Bighorn
The next morning we were up early heading back to the saddle I had sat in the previous day in hopes of finding some good rams. I wasn't feeling great and had to stop half way up to the ridge line to revisit what I had eaten for breakfast (not pleasant). After an hour or so of hiking we were...- wyflyguy

2019 New Mexico Rocky Mountain Bighorn
At this point I was feeling pretty down. Hunting is full of highs and lows and this was definitely a low point for me. But I decided to head back to see if the rams I had found earlier were still around so I could have another look at them. However, when we got there I found that the horses...- wyflyguy

2019 New Mexico Rocky Mountain Bighorn
So we backed out, back over to the west side of the saddle and headed north. After we got to the north end of the saddle, we were able to look down into the canyon to the west and see the hunters who had shot and killed a ram there. I was relieved to see that it wasn't the one I was after...- wyflyguy

2019 New Mexico Rocky Mountain Bighorn
Fast forward to early August and my hunt had finally arrived. My neighbor and I loaded up and headed for the mountains the day before the opener. My brother was coming from NV and was planning to drive through the night and join us by lunch time on opening day. I hiked in, got camp set up and...- wyflyguy

2019 New Mexico Rocky Mountain Bighorn
I recently got my 2019 NM Rocky Mountain Bighorn ram back from the taxidermist. I haven't posted much here, but thought I would share my hunt and some pics with you to contribute some to the forum. Plus, some may be either preparing for or just wrapping up sheep hunts of their own. Hopefully...- wyflyguy

Bad news for Beau
Thanks for sharing this, Randy. The shows where Beau joins you have been some of my favorite. I took a quick look at the fundraiser last night and saw good progress towards the stated goal. Was surprised when I logged on this morning to add my donation to the pile and saw the goal has been...- wyflyguy

sheep rifle input
I killed a desert bighorn with a 7mm Mag and a rocky mountain bighorn with my .270 Win. Either of your rifles will do fine. Like everyone else is saying, I'd take the one you feel most comfortable with. If you decide to get a new one for the hunt, just make sure you have the time to get it...- wyflyguy

Sheep Tag - would you rather
I have drawn sheep tags twice in my life, both of which were very long odds. The first was a desert sheep tag in Nevada when I was 17 years old. The second was last year in New Mexico (no point system, random draw). Both were very unexpected and the excitement at having drawn is incredible...- wyflyguy

Maintaining your rig
I'm also in the camp of hating to pay someone to do something I am capable of doing myself. Often I can buy all the tools and parts I need to do the job for cheaper than the mechanic would charge me. Then I get new tools!- wyflyguy

Best Hunting pad
I've got a Klymit Insulated Static V that I was very pleasantly surprised with. I spend a good amount of time sleeping on my side and haven't had any hip/shoulder pain in the nights I've used it. Packs up nice and small, too.- wyflyguy

This is one of my favorite episodes ever. I watched the day-by-day as it was posted on YouTube, but went back and re-watched this version this week. Awesome and inspiring. Great work!- wyflyguy
