My god! The bases on that thing!

As a bonus the meat is extra delicious. I’ve heard it could have went either way. Tenderloin for Thankgiving, and a bottle of wine we picked up in Napa in early August - the only weekend I wasn’t looking for sheep all summer..

Very appropriate pour spout. And I’m glad the ellipsis was left unfinished to egg on resident data nerds….

Congratulations on a beautiful ram! You earned every bit of him, and all the memories to go with it. May be a safe bet that no one beats this thread or hunt effort for a long time. Thank you for sharing.

Incredible journey and an equally amazing finish.
Well done!

Mr Bormann is my hero. I hope I'm still sheep hunting at his age.

Its amazing how gear centric sheep hunting is and this guy got it done with a 1960s technology. #nokuiuhere.

The best part is he used a Mennonite Machine Gun

I would like to hear that guys thoughts on the culture of hunting now and everything attached.
Needle is probably stuck on his record.
Somewhat envious of the old simplicity.
But damn I like my Stone Glacier pants and Sitka jacket...better than sweating or freezing in the Army/Navy surplus rubber jacket for $15 .( previously owned by Private Lovely)
Ongoing joke you can imagine.

Great job Kurt! I loved following this thread. Hard earned is an understatement.

Sheep hunt done right.....redefined!

Well done!

Congrats to you, and all of those that are close to you that helped make it happen!

Jim Boorman’s plug was #82 for his age. Righteous! Both rams 9.5 years old. His 1/2” longer and 1/2” heavier on base than mine.

First impression of that ram is that he’s young
But I haven’t been in the mountains everyday since august either.

He’s the one I ended up with. 9.5 years old and probably the largest bodied of any I saw this year. Wasn’t along the highway the day I got him.
