Here's a few pictures from my wife's first Dall Sheep hunt. She withstood over 50 miles of rough 4-wheeler trails, many miles on foot, steep terrain, a torrential downpour, and many nights in close proximity to my smelly butt in a small tent. Her reward was a great ram.
36 3/8" Left Horn (Full Curl +)
34" Right Horn (Broomed)
13 1/4" bases
9 1/2 years old
She shot him at 275 yards with her .308. To say I was one seriously impressed husband is a real understatement. Now that she shot a ram bigger than mine I'm just going to have to go out and get another one. Oh darn.

Congrats BIG TIME to you and your lovely bride...Job well done......
She and the sheep look great.. Have you considered a better haircut..??........
That's just one of the perks of having a receding hairline Pygmy. Now you know why I usually wear hats.
If you look over my shoulder in this picture you can see the remaining 7 rams just milling about right behind us. It never ceases to amaze me how sheep that are extremely skiddish will just stick around in close proximity when one of them goes down.
