Default My 2017 Ram

Lots of ups and downs in this hunt. It was the toughest mental hunt I have ever been on. Also the weather was some of the most uncomfortable and irritating thing I have ever seen. Wind gusts of 138 KM and hr are not fun.
In the end I got way more than I deserved. A rough Green score of 179.5" which really means nothing to really as this ram will be a special one no matter the score.

Congrats! Sounds like some tough times. I wouldn't even know where to begin to get an animal like that with a bow

If you keep shooting rams , how am I going to pass you?
I’m going to quit once I get to 13 of them,
What your count now?

Nice ram, really loopy
38” long horn / 8.5?

Congrats Nube. I know exactly the feelings you refer to. It is a special place with special animals. Hardest earned trophy on the planet right there.

I second that on the wind. Nasty. It was good hunting with you Phil. Lots of laughs and a few tears. And I want my arrows back. Lol

That has to be one of the toughest hunts in North America- Bow hunting late season rams. Congrats Phil.
