I was fortunate enough to draw a Desert Big Horn tag in my home state of California this year..well last year shot the ram this year. After 6 hard days of hunting with San Gorgonio Wilderness Outfitters and passing on a couple lesser rams I was blessed with an opportunity that we made the best of.
The ram was a one shot harvest with a Thompson Venture chambered in .300 Win Mag at 267 yards. The weapon was topped with a Trijicon 5-20x Accu-point scope with the ballistics and windage dial and side focus. Shooting Federal Premium 180 gr. Accubond. I had this set-up dialed out to 500 yards, but did not need it. The illuminated amber dot in the Trijicon scope is amazing, once the dot was on the ram it just seemed like I could not get the dot off the vital area.
Before I post the score lets have some guess'
He is the second largest ram taken this season in California with 4 hunters left. The number one taken this year so far was taken out of the same group as this ram which had 5 and is now down to 3.
Don't shoot til your ready!
