So did you guys hunt from the top down or bottom up. I know that country well.

Very cool Great job
So did you guys hunt from the top down or bottom up. I know that country well.
Opening day we hunted bottom to top, 1500+ vertical feet in a 1/2 mi at dawn! That was fun! The pic with the reflector tower is opening day. Days 2 & 3 we hunted from the top down off Birch Mt. Rd. We packed the ram down to the hiway and got lift back to our trucks.

Awesome ram. Looks like you guys were in there with heavy smoke. Tough conditions
Yes! The smoke posed some significant problems for glassing at times. It was in and out daily. At times, if the sheep weren't in the open and obvious you didn't have a chance to pick them out through the smoke.

Congrats!!! Someday I hope to draw this hunt in my home area, but getting old so it needs to happen soon. :chuckle:
My 13 year old is in the same boat (not our home area... I just hope he can draw it before he is too old to hunt it...)
:chuckle: :chuckle:

I have a lot of pictures of that Ram but they are all through the smoke.
Were you helping the other tag holder?

I used to hunt late archery deer past that radio tower. Then 911 they gated that parking lot. Start there and hunt up to the top then back down
We definitely scoped that spot out before the hunt but still gated/no access. Would've been a good approach. We had dipped below that rock band under the tower and staged up. There were a bunch of rams up to our right in the pic. My buddy and our other friend had crawled up to the next rocks to go for a shot but got spotted. The rams clumped up tight with our target right in front but moved over the next spine and out of sight w/out a shot. They dropped down and on to the center ridge up the canyon. We moved up but were stuck on the other side from them and ran out of daylight. We spent the whole opening day on that ridge. Left the truck at daylight,got back after 8pm. Though we didn't get the shot that day was a ton of fun in some great ground. I ain't goin that route for a deer though! :chuckle:

I killed alot of chukar's over the years around that reflector. Seems silly the lookout has been closed for 20 years now?

Awesome mount. Love the character. Maybe one day before I die..
Post by: Mfowl on May 07, 2021, 02:16:30 PM
Beautiful Ram and mount! How many points did you use to draw? My dad has 23 this year and hope we're getting close...
Not my tag, my buddy had mid range. Your pops is well qualified!
As others mentioned; great looking critter and mount!

Thought about going for some revenge on those chukars but looking back at pics made me resign to the duck blind. :chuckle:
