Come on Mikey!
We're in the throws of deep depression because the whole experience ended much sooner than we wanted or anticipated!
It will all come in time, so take some deep breaths!

Hey, I've been thrown under the bus enough lately! I can't take any more, Mike. (It's alway good to know that you're thinking of me though. LOL)

OK...here you go.
As of today my son Spence and I have spent 27 days scouting and hunting desert sheep in the Utah Zion unit. It has been an amazing adventure to say the least, with an unbelievable outcome.
Finding sheep in the heavy trees and cut canyons of the Zion is a challenge. On the evening of my second hunting day, we split up to broaden our search. Just as it was getting dark lady luck smiled on us, as Spence spotted my ram on a ridge two miles away.
It took us most of the next day to relocate the old ram, but eventually we found him tucked up on a little shelf in the next canyon. Good fortune also allowed us to move in close and take him at only 150 yards.
It was an amazing end to 40+ years of dreaming about hunting desert sheep.
Thanks to many, many good hunting friends and especially my son, for your encouragement and support!

Thanks to you all for the great comments.
One important element of our experience that I omitted in my brief description of the hunt, was the help from many, including bowhunt and others, who shared valuable information about the area.
It is also vital to note that a great friend, Adam Bronson was key to our success and joined us with his friend Brad Hunter to help us harvest the ram.
It is very special to me to have so many great hunting friends. We are all blessed to have such amazing experiences doing what we love. I hope you will all share credit in our good fortune.

littlebighorn,
Congrats on a magnificent once in a lifetime trophy and what sounds like a once in a lifetime experience you had with your son.
He is an absolutely beautiful ram. Sounds like you did your homework, put boots on the ground and hit pay dirt.
Hopefully, someday real soon for me and 20 others who are finally in the 2015 fishbowl with 20 Desert pts.
