MT Ram

[topoccxx]

Beautiful

I'm loaded up for a glassing jaunt early in the AM and worried there will soon be smoke so thick I won't be able to see 1/2 mile. I'm glad to have a permit so close to home in a familiar place, so I can get the most out of the last of my "big 3". I'm not expecting to find a giant ram as there may not be any in this unit. I do expect a really terrific sheep hunt. Hoping I don't end up shooting one I spot from the gas station in November, but not above that either. Rams are on summer range now - that I know. I've been told to start scouting in early July, as that's when they're on summer range. I'll have 19 days in (not full days) by July 1st. I'm made a spreadsheet of all the sheep data I have on this unit dating back to 1983, as well as a tab to detail all my time spent there since finding out I drew. There's not much snow in the peaks for this time of year. My friend Jake Mosher took a photo last night in the unit, at sunset. This certainly does not suck.

@Greenhorn Just a hat tip on the opening pic of this thread. Absolutely stellar.

 

[jvanhoy]

Can’t believe I just found this thread. Epic sh*t!

 

[Flatbrimmer]

Or it might unleash the curse of the mummy when you drink all the hopzones and don’t realize that Greenhorn is phone skoping you.

Looking up phoneskope on classifieds, this comment was grade A clickbait

Taxidermy was done by same I have used since ‘94. Andres Taxidermy and Travis who has worked with him forever. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

 

[choc dogs]

And that, my fellow hunt talkers, is how you humble brag.

 

[choc dogs]

Thanks so much for sharing. Gorgeous ram, great mount. All snide comments and jealousy aside.

 

[zfountaine55]

Everything about that is cool, congratulations Greenhorn!

Rude buck get a wall all to himself?

Sheep, as well as the rest of the wall, look great

 

[sacountry]

An impressive wall for sure, but @Greenhorn where's the Montana Goat to round out the big 3 all coming from Montana?

 

[rmyoung1]

Beautiful ram. And amazing wall.

That moose… Saw it years ago on the B&C show and still can’t believe it’s a Shiras.

Is that the same ram? The eyes look different!

 

[MinnesotaHunter]

Turned out gorgeous, Kurt. They did a great job.

 

[Nameless Range]

Turned out really great Greenhorn. I also like that this thread was brought back up to read again. A heck of a saga.

 

[Hem]

You burned alot of calories to get that ram. Bet it feels good to see him on the wall. Mount looks great.
Thanks for the thread. And one last congrats.

 

[noharleyyet]

Helluva wall Kurt.

 

[Straight Arrow]

Helluva wall Kurt.

That wall likely represents innumerable gallons outa the greens!
