Jim Hens, his cameraman Tyler, and friends Chris and Felicia Cammack of Prairie Mountain Wildlife Studio joined us at Frontier for Jim's Raffle Desert bighorn hunt. We all had a wonderful time in the high desert country of the land of enchantment, killing old Kaiser Soza the evening of the 7th day. This cagey beast gave us a real run, pulling wily muley buck type moves to successfully evade us several times over the course of the hunt. After two attempts with the bow resulted in getting winded from within 60 yards by the fickle and rather uncooperative breezes while waiting for the ram to get up and present a quality archery shot opportunity, Jim made the wise decision to take up the rifle. He killed his tremendous ram from 290 yards after we bedded him in the early AM, completed the lengthy stalk, then waited close to five hours for the ram to get up out of his well concealed snooze spot. Walking up to him was mind-blowing to say the least. We knew he was giant, and figured him at a solid 190, but he surprised us by just a few inches
Special thanks to Billy Corliss, Bobby Duran, and Keith Terrell for holding down command...you guys frikken rock
195 4/8 green/gross (NMGF measurement), 42 3/8 and 41 1/8 x 15 7/8, with 11 1/8 3rds

Kaiser Soza was growing his 13th year, was missing most of his teeth, had a dislocated shoulder, a frozen knee, and a split lip, and was the savviest wild sheep any of us have ever hunted, that's for sure
Cheers Everyone, enjoy!
