Damn, that would make even me want to hunt sheep.  WOW!

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

The story is in one of my Jack Oconnor books.  I think it was the 30's and the hunter wounded it and one of the guides finished it off.  I think they were meat hunters if I remember the story correctly.

I think it's still in Cody, Wyoming.  An unbelievable ram and the only one ever to have 50" horns or larger on both sides including all rocky sheep.
