That is a great Photo, the Ram and the back ground, Wow, and a big ole' grin all make for a wonder picture. Good job Mark.

Nice ram Mark! I have only been able to hunt ewes so far, but there is nothing else like sheep hunting!

Thank you all for the kind words. Trying to get caught up at home and work after being gone for a week, has kept me tied up. I took this ram with an MOA chambered in 308 Winchester. The gun was topped with a Burris 3-12X. Winchester Ballistic Supreme ammo in 150 grain did the dirty work. One shot at 190 yards completed a dream hunt for this country boy. Thanks to Ernie for posting the pic.

Congrats on making a dream a reality, Mark. That is an awesome sheep and some beautiful country side to boot.

Congratulations on a beautiful animal. Hopefully you are gathering more stories for another book. I loved the first one!
