Haven't Been on here for a while but here he is! 2014 Quilomene Ram. Spent most of the season out there glassing till our eyes fell out. Made new friends on the far side of the closed river which ended up being critical on this hunt. He's not the biggest ever shot but it was the hardest hunt I've been on and I'd love to be able to do it all again tomorrow!
This particular day we were on a few Rams near the river, glassing and waiting, one of our sets of eyes on the other side of the river called and said get up north we have a good ram in our sights. 1 hour uncomfortably fast motorcycle ride up the hill to camp and 3 hours of riding the worst roads known to man, we got there. And we see nothing. As we start hiking hills and cliff face we find them hiding on a grassy hillside. I have this ram in my sights at 136yrds 53deg down hill. Just a little to far for my bow. Due to the lateness of the day, the position of the Sheep, and the long brutal dark ride back I elected to switch to my rifle. So I took aim, held 10 inches low due to the crazy angle and took my shot. He stood up as if nothing hit him. I shot again and got a tiny limp from him. My spotter says, he's going over the cliff...
We hurry down the hill, rush to the cliff edge where we last saw him and nothing. Shear drop off. My spotter (Brother) says turn around. 20yards behind us there he lies just over a large rock. We had run right by him!
Like I said not the biggest by far but it was one heck of a hunt and he was the largest I saw in all that time.
My very rough score estimate came out at 150 7/8
