Swakane Sheep?

[chukar hunter]

Did I miss the story on the Swakane Ram taken this year? 

I know fire smoke had to play an a role in the hunt but wanted to hear the full story.  Huntnphool must have some pics?

I do but David has submitted some to magazines and wanted to wait on posting any.

Must have been a nice ram!  What weapon did he use to harvest?   I assume from the Gorge, that's where I see a lot of the sheep hang out. 

I guess I'll wait patiently,.... just like I will for that tag.

He was using a .270 and ended up dropping his ram in the this canyon.

The second pic shows how deep and steep the canyons were, this pic was on the way back out on the first day, after hiking up and in from the bottom. You can see how much smoke there was from the fires.

worth the wait.... both the story and tag

He submitted it to Hunting fool magazine, have not heard if they are using it for a story or not though.

HF won't tell you that they are going to publish it until it is in print.
