Went out yesterday morning to try and locate a good ram. Didn't really have much hope that I would be able to with the wind and all but it turns out that if you get out there and put some leather on the ground you actually see critters! Didn't see anything until about 11:00am and then they seemed to be everywhere I went. Passed up a couple of very young rams that would have been excellent table fare but I really wanted a good one this year. Watched this guy feed over a hill and then cut out on an intercept course. When I got there I didn't see them where I expected. Looked back to where they crossed hilltop and saw the curl of horns. They had laid down almost on top of hill. Put a cactus in between me and them and snuck to within 40 yards. It was all pretty simple from there except the 4 mile hike with a very heavy pack thru some very unforgiving terrain!
