BIG RAM DOWN!!!!!

[treedagain]

LAST EDITED ON Oct-16-11 AT 01:38PM (MST)[p]That was the text i got when i sent a pic of my 2011 UT ram to one of my sheep hunting buddies...well after 17 yrs of applying 12 days of scouting and at 2:46 of my 9th day on the desert i was very fortunate to seal the deal on this pretty ram...

i would like to thank both my brothers for taking the time to share with me this OIL experiance with me, i could not have done it without you. Kurt from price thanks for coming out and glassing with me for the day, just wish that ram would have been a couple yrs older. in 9 days of hunting we were able to glass up 41 ewes and 11 rams. 4 of those rams were class4 8+ yrs old. zeke and bowhunt thanks for all the encouragement.

most of the information that i was able to get on my unit came from 2 very generous sheep guides. i was able to contact a few previous hunters that added to shorten my learning curve...one of them even went with me on a scouting trip.

There is nothing like a bighorn sheep. Great sheep and great job on a DIY hunt for one of the toughest hunts there is.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-16-11 AT 11:08PM (MST)[p]Great looking ram. I knew you would get a good one. You put in a lot of time and did alot of home work and it all paid off. Good job. I am getting excited for my sheep hunt.

 

[PaleHorse]

Way to go!!! I envy you! I wish all my stupid moose points were for sheep

 

[Zeke]

Well done my friend, well done!
He's a beautiful ram and your hunt worked out to perfection for you. I'm truly happy for your success.
I'm glad I could be a part of your experience, albeit in a small way.

Best, Zeke

That is an awsome ram, congradulations plus that is some really cool country, it looks kind of familiar.....

Shoot em till their dead

 

[littlebighorn]

Hey Tree...man! Great job and beautiful ram.
Sounds like you had a very classic desert sheep experience!
Anyone who thinks that desert sheep hunting is a synch has never been on a Utah desert hunt! You obviously put in the time and your hard work paid off. Congratulations to you and all the fine folks who helped you out. Most sheep hunts I have been a part of are very much a group effort. Anyway, very nice and thanks for sharing!

 

[elkantlers]

A desert is now on my to do list. with 0 points going into next years draw I should have a good chance! of not drawing before I die.

[PleaseDear]

I am starting to second guess my 2012 D-Ram appl. unit choice now!

That sure is a dandy ram.

[Zeke]

Robb,
Treedagain's sheep really is a great ram. He did things "right".

I've spent more time (8 trips) in the area in which you applied so WHEN you draw, and if you want some crusty company, we'll go for a drive.

I doubt you'll be disappointed in your desert sheep unit.

Zeke

 

[PleaseDear]

Thanks Zeke!

I gotta admit---the kid has me all worried now! ha
