Great story.
I especially like the part about the pressure we put on ourselves after drawing one of these special tags.
Congrats again on killing a great ram.

Great write up, awesome pics and what a ram.  Any idea who drew the tag this year.  A lot of good rams to look over.

Yes, I have been in contact with this year's hunter.  He's hunted the late Swakane archery hunt quite a bit and harvested a couple nice bucks.  He's planning to do the sheep hunt with a bow, but he's open to switching to a rifle if things don't work out.  He's a good guy, I think he'll do well.
