Cleman Mountain Ram

[bobcat]

Congrats! You were gone pretty early, must have been an easy pack?

Yes, with five people it was about as easy as it can get. I only had to pack the head and cape.   

All downhill about 1 mile.

Approximately how much would your RAM weigh on the hoof? That's a real good pic with the crew!

I have no clue. But I bet Ric Shirrod would know. (Elkstuffer)

Maybe he'll chime in if he sees this thread, probably not until tomorrow I'd guess.

A mature Cali Bighorn from this area will run 200-225 lbs with 30 lbs of that being horn.

Congratulations Bob on a great ram. One of the best "under pressure" shots I've seen on a ram. Especially with me barking in your ear saying "you have to shoot NOW!!!"
It was a great day with some great guys and I finally got to meet the "LEGENDARY" Billy the Kid Rock! 
Thanks for letting us be a part of you OIL hunt.

Too funny.

It was great meeting you. This was Bob's hunt, but I had a blast and you and Beau were a big part of it.

Have you had a chance to eat any yet? I've heard sheep meat is the best there is

Sheep meat is delicious if prepared correctly.  Bob was gracious enough to give me the tenderloins (my son's favorite). They will make a great appitizer for tonights dinner.

Congrats bobcat on the ram and you can't beat going downhill packing one of them off that mt.   also, didn't bone post a pic a couple years ago showing a bunch of rams and there testicles?  I wonder if animals testes are going to become the new trophy instead of racks.

Great ram! I see you had a couple of sheep experts with you.

Yes we sure did.

Geez BTKR, it sure looks like you are "long arming" that nut sack. Or was it photo shopped? 
(Inside joke between the 5 of us )
