Wife's First Dall Sheep
 

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.

Glassing sheep country. Lots and lots of hours doing that.

Packing back to camp. Tough girls carry their own sheep head.

Back at camp. Time to crawl into the tent to try and dry off.

Enjoying the little bit of sunshine before the monsoon.

Nice pictures, and very nice sheep congrats to your wife and you. Self guided?

Yeah. I was the guide, camp cook, spotter, and pack mule.

Congrats! That one hell of a ram you got there. One hell of a wife too. I'd be very impressed and proud also.

thats gotta make you both proud, nice mature ram for sure, good job.. how did the back straps taste that night

Congrats and excellent pictures

Congrats BIG TIME to you and your lovely bride...Job well done..:happy0001:....

She and the sheep look great.. Have you considered a better haircut..??...:wink:.....

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.

Just awesome, congrats to the both of you, Dall is on my bucket list, at the top....
