They're bigger than Donna's......

So you’re telling me they were actually legal rams?

It probably depends on how much bigger they were…

Not suppose to talk to strangers.

to the talking to strangers comment. Fair point. I guess I have just been a bit of a creeper on this site / thread for a while now. I had a personal goal not to come home with anything close to that ram referenced although I did eventually warm up to the concept of to each their own and felt it was time for a name change. I do wish nothing but the best for anyone who attempts or accomplishes the feat no matter how marginal, or how advantaged, so long as it is done legally and ethically. I felt the frustration of many of the unlimited hunters on here at the time but would do nothing but sincerely congratulate that hunter now after thinking through it further.

Going in I felt like this was my year after being more educated on these unlimited sheep and being mentally, strategically, and physically more ready for a hunt than ever.

I guess I was just curious if you saw pictures and if anything matched my camera roll as you seem to be always in the know and have a great perspective. On that note, you are pretty warm to the suppositions on this one as well. The first ram taken in the unit this year checked in at 10 years old and is now preventing me from any likely reality of bighorn sheep hunting on my own tag for 8 years, which is something I couldn’t be more proud nor appreciative of.

Beautiful ram!

Amazing ram, congratulations!

Here’s my ram for 501, TX mtn hunter and I were able to double up opening morning. Mine aged at 6 yrs old. While packing mine back to camp I had a rock come loose from under me and fell face first into the rocks, breaking my nose.

We need a story, was this a one, two, three SHOOT thing? Or a goat rodeo? Either way you guys are fricken studs, awesome job.

Yeah, give us the details! Sounds like some type 2 fun......

We met up both solo hunting the unlimiteds last year and kept in touch. The plan going in was for the one who spotted to shoot first and the other upon recoil. Or if it was a same time spot we flipped to alternate days.

After being significantly closer than where we left them the day before, when we got to our first light location, they were 50 yards away and quickly started to move out of sight. I shot mine right before they disappeared, we then bolted to the escape route and Brodie smashed his at 200 yards off a freehand knee just prior to it’s escape.

Not quite as planned due to their extremely close proximity but effective nonetheless.

Awesome rams guys! Sad I wasn’t back in 501 this year but guess it worked out I didn’t eat a $1250 bowl of tag soup two years in a row! Missing that Miners Saloon pizza in Cooke City though!

 

[mevertsen]

Very nice rams there guys!

 

[EYJONAS!]

Only the ram knows..... till he doesn't.

Congrats to both of you on the sheep. Hope everyone else out there is doing well and getting into em in 500 502 and 303. I'm also glad there wasn't another cleansing in 501.

@geetar sorry to hear about your trip and i hope @Cav1 Is doing ok. Looking forward to more reports out there.

Congrats Brodie and TX Mountain Hunter on your rams I was also in 501 and found a legal ram on Sunday before opener but just could not keep him pinned down until Thursday also saw one other borderline ram and 2 ewes. It was an amazing time and can't wait to go back in next year.

 

[Drummond33]

Great story, congrats to both @brodiemcd and @TX Mountain Hunter!

Congratulations great ram! Good job. How many years were you hunting the UL before being successful?

 

[BradA]

Congratulations to both of you it’s always exciting to see some hunt talk members be successful in the UL

 

[Beignet]

Daaang, fellas. Excellent work in there!!!

 

[TX Mountain Hunter]

Thank you all.

BradA,
For me I think it would best be by answered by thousands of hours of actual time spent rather than the specific number years.

Well sounds like it was well deserved then
