Doc, this was on my hill country place. The back 90 as I call it has a series of deep draws.  I spent one morning over an hour watching 4 others knocking each other silly.  Then this was the evening of the following day.  I watched them for a while, but as they moved lower I made the shot.  I do believe that I meant to take one of the other rams that had a full curl.  Not sure how that happened, but when I went to recover him, two were only about 60yds away up on the cliffs looking at me. One of those had over a full curl that turned out at the tips.  Oh well, maybe next time. I see them pretty frequently now that we purchased the back 90.

Sorry you can't see the pic Mohawk.

Thanks, Mark. I was able to see it when I switched to my laptop. So you have quite a few roaming exotics on your place?  I wish we did. It would make in more interesting. Though a ranch about a couple of miles from us had some blackbuck wander around for a spell but disappeared. There is a high end game ranch nearby so we think thay escaped from there. What else do you have wandering around?

Mohawk there are a few of these wandering around. They tend to stick to the thick woods. Since October we've seen two big bucks and 6 does.  They have tended to remain out of bow range, and then my wife was not comfortable shooting one that was walking our main big hill at 200 yds. 

I saw what looked like New Zealand Billies a year ago but not since then..
