Ddoc,
I wondered about that first picture. He's a nice ram.
Sounds like "the fever" is genetic. Congrats you your Dad!
I am sure you will have a great adventure together, although it's highly unlikely you will find any rams in the SSR as big as yours! Most Utah sheep are runts compared to Nevada sheep, but they are every bit as much fun to hunt.
Best of luck and keep us posted on his hunt.
