My 2012 Manson Ram Story

[Falcon]

Congrats on your ram, and telling a great story.

You mentioned you could only do this once.

You did it right!!!!

Thanks Eburg, he looks a bit better than that. Is it possible to see all the sheep in that area from across the lake or are they in small groups all up and down the lake. I've been told they are hard to spot from above on the road system.
I need to draw that damn tag soon.

Awesome story and even better trophy of a life time and the memories you share with having your dad and brother on that hunt.

Thanks for all of the comments everyone!  The video did not turn out great, but I might try and post it in the future.

We spotted a lot from across the lake, but you need to get up lake to see more.  I went up on top three times, but never saw any sheep.  Other hunters had seen some from above.  I think the best option is a boat.  Only a few months until the draw so let me know if you get it!

I had a dream like that once too. It was great! Drawing the Manson permit, hunting by boat, bluebird weather, great rams, no pressure!! I don't remember the rainbow though. Hmmm? I still keep thinkin "some day", that'll be the life!
Wait a minute. That wasn't a dream was it eburg? Holy mackerel! You actually did that! Those'er real pictures, not just wishfull thinking!! YOU DID IT!!!!!!!! Congrats to you man!
Thanks for telling us your story and letting us know that it's worth the wait. I love the pictures too. The odds are soooo long, but it's definitely worth the price of admission.
Thanks too for helping to keep my dreams alive.
Good luck on your next adventure as well.
