That is the biggest ram killed in the swakane this year to date
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

With what's in there I'd say that's right in the middle for size.

 The guy on the left knows his sh!t, I seriously doubt he would have recommended Alain shoot a "in the middle" ram. :twocents:

I know he knows his stuff I was just saying that some pics I've seen of rams in there recently I'm sure there was a couple that are bigger. It's a beautiful ram and bigger than what I've taken. :tup:

From what I've heard they definitely put in the time and work for that ram and any ram they took out of that unit.

I would love to see pics of some rams bigger than Alain's... If a bigger ram is killed in Swakane this year it won't be on a wdfw issued tag...

I see  a pic of 1 with more mass and little more length as well as heard Alain missed an opportunity on 1 bigger. Not by human but nature error.

Like I said, they did that tag justice, put in time and effort and got a beautiful ram.

And yes, hopefully the 2 tribal permit holders can appreciate the opportunity they have and put forth a good effort and get a good representative of this unit and not waste it on a banana ram or the 1st 1 they see just to  end the hunt.

No, he bought the auction tag that gave him the right to hunt sheep there.  So he was hunting in there and took a sheep this year, two tribal members took sheep in there and two non tribal hunters drew special permit tags and were hunting in there.

I know of 4 sheep taken for sure, 1 auction tag, 2 tribal tags, one regular tag and don't know about the 5 tag/ regular tag and if it was filled.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Nice video and Ram.

Just one thing I did not care for, near the end he stated how cool it was to take the sheep right in "my backyard"
Nothing against westside folks or him, but this IS MY BACKYARD. When you live on the other side of the cascades, it is far from his backyard.
