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.

I wonder if Bone has some #10 pictures from years past? That would be pretty dang cool to have him mounted beside a "Before" picture!
I wondered that as well, but we did get some "just before" pics through the spotter.
Post by: billythekidrock on November 08, 2014, 05:52:03 AM
Great ram! I see you had a couple of sheep experts with you.
Not only were they extremely knowledgeable, but very personable as well. Great guys that made the experience that much better.

Yes, we spotted this one and a couple other shooters the night before.

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! :)

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.

I had applied every year since 1997. But I skipped 2012 and 2013. After missing those two years, I decided to go ahead and apply in 2014. Thus, why I only had 16 points when I should have had 18.
But it worked!
Also, and maybe this is what sealed the deal- I did all my other applications a month before the deadline (quality deer, quality elk, buck deer, bull elk, antlerless elk, bull moose, antlerless moose). Then the day before the deadline I bought and submitted my application for bighorn sheep.
I drew nothing except for the sheep. So this is a method I might try for moose next year!
