GO4STEELHD's 2020 unlimited Ram! Montana Whitetail

[go4steelhd]

This is one of the best writeups I've ever read on here.  Awesome accomplishment.  You are a bad - az.

I just put a lot of time in.

Hard work and some luck is what it boils down to. 

Thanks

So damn cool! Again, awesome job Matt! Mule deer king, and now the sheep king!

Thank you for sharing your amazing hunt.  Your drive and determination is very inspiring.  Any ram in those units is an accomplishment but that ram is in its own class.  I’ve been to those units to see what it would take, and it became very apparent to be successful a guy would need to put in many many miles and hours just to get a glimpse of a legal ram.  Congratulations on achieving your goals.

Hahaha! That made me smile. I’m not the king of anything. But those are kind words.  I have had a guy that hunts the same area as I do in Idaho call me that a few years back. I think most of it for deer is pick an area and hunt it every year for five years, and be willing to keep changing until you figure it out.
For sheep I’m sure a quite few extra guys will buy an unlimited tag due to this post, I ve actually taken some heat for this post. But Montana will gladly take the extra money, and I hope they find success. But the reality is they will be in for a real hard hunt. I hope anyone that goes next year shares there story and thoughts of hunting one of these units, they will have a lot greater appreciation for this story after that. Most units have almost 100 guys hunt them, and two guys might get a sheep.

But hey dreams can come true
They did for me

Awesome!

I have a buddy who has hunted the unlimiteds several times... sounds like most are lucky to see a sheep every other year let alone harvest one...

I thought about it for years. I did talk a buddy into going, but we never put in. We just could not agree on who shoots. He wanted to rotate years with only one guy having a tag. I could not do that. It’s a n extreme amount of time and effort. In the end, and years later it worked out for me though

The toughest hunt in the lower 48 and you not only filled a tag, but did so with as good as they get.

  CONGRATS!! And thanks for sharing your hunt

It is truly great feeling to find success on this hunt. It was a life long dream, and the hunt will leave me with a life time of memories.

I took my wife and son out deer hunting this weekend. My wife would only have a few days to hunt, so our goal was to find her a nice four point. On the first day of our hunt we had high winds and blowing snow. I think we seen 6-8 deer by 2pm and zero bucks. I was really hoping the wind was keeping the deer down, and that they were there and I just wasn’t seeing them. I seen a lot of deer In The same areas last year. Each area we went to had lots of pressure this season. We seriously passed 7 trucks in the first two miles of the road on our way to our spot. My son was really wanting to go for a walk. I told him as soon as the wind died down we would. We walked about half a mile and located a good buck in a bowl rutting what looked like 4 does. We stalked into 125 yards. My wife set up on the shooting sticks and they were a bit high for her to shoot kneeling down. So I told her to spread the shoot sticks wider. The she broke them and the rifle barrel fell into the snow. I was sitting 5 feet behind her trying to keep my 6 year old son still. So I moved up and cleared the barrel of snow, set my pack down and told her to set up on it. She could not find the deer and keep the gun steady. I moved up again played with the pack a little took the gun and set it up on the buck, then told her to come get behind the gun. Then moved back and sat with my son behind her. The buck finally seen us and turned straight to us. We had a stair off for about five minutes. When he turned broad side he ran. I yelled at the buck and he stopped perfectly broad side. About a quarter of a second after he stopped my wife shot, the buck kicked out his back legs and ran over the knob out of site. I was certain she had made a good shot on what would be her best buck to date. We walked up to where we last seen him and he had only went another 15 yards and expired. I told my wife hey he has a 6-7 inch extra inline point, I didn’t want to tell her while she was set up and make her even more excited and possibly miss the buck. My son was super excited and he told us momma that buck is huge, he looks like the deer daddy gets my wife was shaking with excitement for about 20 minutes. It was a great day, we were able to do this as a family
