Congrats on the great looking sheep.
What provinces/territories/states are they from?

My first and only sheep:
Shot after a long season in the field, about 20 days. Not a trophy for its size, but a real trophy to me and the one I worked for the hardest! Knowing the terrain where I shot it a lot better now, I probably could have shot him from where I first saw him, but I ended up doing a long crawl, and then an endless wait, while the ram played peekaboo with me in a little depression.
This is the only picture I have left, the rest all got lost in a computer crash. But I published an article about it, so I have that as a momento. And the shoulder mount in the living room!

Nice pic Frans! Where was your article published? Is it something we would be able to find on the web & give a read?
Cheers

Doubtful. It was published in late 2004 in the German magazine Jagen Weltweit, and then a severely truncated version with mutilated photos in one of the last issues of Big Game Adventures (Big Game Adventures, Issue 1, vol. 13, 2007). And at some point the German article got "stolen", translated and published in a Spanish magazine ("El Carnero de la Herradura - Tras el Bighorn o Carnero de las Rocosas" ("After Bighorn in the
Rockies", in Spanish) Hunters, Caza International, Recechos y Monterias
Issue 96, Vol. 9). I just happened to find out through a friend in Madrid. So much for copyright, eh?
I can probably find the BGA issue and scan it. I thought I already had but can't find the file.

Well, that's quite the well travelled story 'eh. I'll take a look at my mags, I've got a few BGA's in the basement. I usually kept the ones I had that had sheep articles in them. The others found their way to the bin. Maybe I've already read it!
