Sheep hunting is something that i thought was so far out of reach that I would never be able to do it in my life. Thanks to Ridge's luck, I was able to spend a few days scouting and hunting with him. It was truly an amazing experience. I wasn't able to be there for the "kill," but it was easily my favorite hunt I've ever been on. Thanks for including me on your adventure Koby!

It's finally here! Here's a picture of it and video of the kill shot scene. If you pause it at the 1:32 minute mark, you can see me standing by the cliffs and the sheep run less than 20 yards past me. What an awesome day that was. Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHOszVXXcik

Beautiful Ram! Ridgetop you did fantastic and made the most of a dream hunt. You hit him hard, man that was something. I'm glad he didn't keep falling. Proud of you my friend. :thumb :thumb :thumb

Well done. You made that once in a lifetime hunt exactly what it should be! That was a great story with some great pictures. I enjoyed every minute of reading it.

Thanks guys. It sure was fun to have so many friends come along for the ride and help out in a big way. I've hunted alone on many hunts of the past but this year was by far the funnest.

I really enjoyed the mule deer hunting stories and pictures buried within the story of the bighorn. You've got yourself quite a honey hole there. The amount of bucks you saw and the quality is better than some people see on the limited entry hunts. I guess it all comes back to scouting and knowing your area. Well done again!
