Nice sheep

Couple of pic's of a very nice sheep a friend just took in Canada.  Area is way to rough for an old dude like me to hunt!

Nice sheep - and holy hell that is some rugged country... 

BTW, did your buddy have a part in that movie "Jacob's Ladder"?

That's a beauty right there.  Looks 40" on his right side.  Lots of mass for a thinhorn.  Anybody put a tape on him yet?  I'm thinking 165ish.  Great ram and thanks for posting.

Love the pics, and would love to be up there in those nosebleeds :tup:  Any details on the hunt?  Guided, spot and stalk, still hunting?

This was a guided hunt.  Apparently had been chasing a group of three big rams (the one pictured, another a little smaller and one they estimated to be 44") for a few days with no luck.  Hunted all day, got back to camp late and the guide spotted them on the mt. side above camp so off they went again.  Big boy busted them and headed out to parts unknown but this one waited a little to long, so he decided to take him.  Green scored at 165.  As you can see from the pic's, this is not a hunt for the faint hearted or anyone not in good shape.  Ohhhhh, but to be young again!!
