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

It probably depends on how much bigger they were…

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.

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!

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.

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

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.
