You killed him just in time Steve. We would have been soaked packing it out. It's really ugly up there today. You did a great job and took a beautiful ram. Congrats!

OK here is the rest of the story, better late than never. It’s getting close to 6 now, less than an hour of good light and I am in unfamiliar terrain. My helper had stayed down below at the truck to keep an eye on the sheep incase I lost track of them. It would take him at least an hour to get up here. There is no way I can get this ram caped out and make it down the hill before dark. I had talked to several people about this scenario before and had received what I thought was good advice. It was cooling down quickly and the wind was blowing hard so I made the decision to gut him out, prop the cavity open and come back for him at first light. I covered him up with brush and left human scent (a sweaty tee shirt works well) and came down the hill. I got a bit of panic attack and thought about returning up the hill with a pack out team but was talked out of it. I tossed and turned all night and got up to make coffee at 4 am. We started up the hill at first light and everything turned at great!
