Congratulations! Beautiful ram.
Even with the strikeout in Arizona this year, with the awesome OTC bull there in Colorado and now the awesome ram I would say this has been a pretty good year for you from a hunting perspective.

Congrats on the great ram and adventure. I didnt see it anywhere but at what point did you realize you shot a different ram?

Congratulations on a great ram! I have enjoyed your story from the start.
Great ram, great hunt! Don’t get rid of the cape too soon. I shot a ram last year and had no intention of having a shoulder mount done, but after pulling the cape on to the skull and getting an idea of what the mount would look like, I am going to have the shoulder mount done. I know what you mean about handling the skull and horns. I have been doing just that for the last year. It doesn’t get old. Enjoy!

I have heard of guys doing a euro and then shoulder mounting a cast of the horns. Also, full size sheep cape can fetch a pretty penny if you sell it!
My ram last year was neither that big, nor that old. Same for your bull and my bull this year. I am developing quite an inferiority complex. Tough being your friend!

What a journey and amazing ram. Congratulations man. Personally, I think sheep euros are about as cool as it gets.

Amazing story... I must say it was quite fun being on the big glass 1.5 miles away watching the whole thing go down. Amazing animal, congrats Kirby... you earned him.
I’ve been fortunate to be go on able to help friends (and friends of friends who are now all friends) and family on 10 North American wild sheep hunts. And go on 6 sheep hunts of my own, 2 of which were drawn tags DIY (AZ desert and MT Rocky). Of all the DIY hunts I’ve helped on, KHunter was by far the most prepared. And it really paid off! It is so nice helping someone who has taken the gift of a drawn sheep permit seriously from the moment they find out they have drawn and have done the legwork required to create an enjoyable and successful sheep hunt. If you have done your homework you can go into the hunt relaxed and confident and be able to relish the extremely rare opportunity of having a drawn sheep tag and the legal option of a diy sheep hunt. Khunter did this.
I hate to admit it, but after all my experience hunting sheep the evidence indicates that KHunter is a better sheep hunter than me. It took me 23 days straight in AZ with a rifle. And 70 days straight in MT with a rifle. Compared to Khunter taking about 70 minutes in CO with a bow!
Congrats brother. You made full use of your sheep tag. Who knows-maybe next year I’ll draw a CO Bighorn permit and you can help me?
The pic shows how excited I was when Khunter got his ram
