i shot a nelson bighorn in my home state of nevada. area 211north. has some of the best odds. but as a nonresident the odds suck no matter where you put in.
i spotted 9 lambs and ewes from the vally floor and 1 nice ram. i spent the rest of the day getting above them. and when i had a shot, i shot the wrong ram. it was a clean kill and an awesome hunt but i shot a VERY small ram. i thought he was the big one.it was a great trip and some of the best country i have ever hunted. maybe someday i will get the chance to hunt them again.if i do i will spend a little more time looking at the horns and not so much time shaking .if you think "buck fever" is bad ram fever just about killed me.
here is a picture of the little guy.
