Great looking ram and great documentation of a hunt of a lifetime.  Any measurements on the ram?

Man... Great write-up. Great story. Fantasic photo arrangement. Incredible hunt. Very nice ram that you guys worked your arses off for. Truly a hunt of a lifetime.  Suggestion-  Print the story and photos. Seal them all up and tack to the backside of the mount. A grandson/daughter some day that inherits the mount will have the story as told by Ron's good friend to charish.

I've got a couple sets of horns from dad... I have no idea where he hunted them down. I have no story behind them.

That was a great report and a fine looking trophy that was well deserved.

Thanks for the props guys, I'll let Ron know, but it was easy to write about after having such a great time over there.  If Ron and I had more time off of work we'd be over trying to help Boom (Steve) fill his tag.
