Barbary Sheep season ended early!!!!!!!!
« on: February 01, 2006, 05:47:46 PM »
Barbary sheep season opened today, and at about 9:30 am I got this guy. He measures about 22 1/2 inches, not a monster but big enough for me to put on the wall.









Now that my hunt is over I will be the guide for the rest of the guys at camp.

nm22250,

  You say that he isn't a monster, but that's a dang fine looking ram to me! neat looking animal!

  Now please give some details, and the story. What did you shoot it with? Did you have a great stalk/hunt? how far away was the shot?

Sorry guys, i just got ahold of a computer. Well the hunt went kinda like this.
At about six fifteen i left the truck. After walking approximately 8 miles i came across a herd of fifteen "goats" this was around 9:30. After about 75 yards of creepin and crawlin i got to about 250 yards out. Due to the fact that i have only taken one sheep before i still get pretty shaky when i have the chance to take one. Shot number one was off target, barely, the herd split into teo groups. Three rams actually ram closer to me. As they were running down a draw about one hundred yards away i got this guy just behind the shoulder, dropped him in his tracks. Once again my savage 7mm rem mag worked just the way i wanted. He wasnt the biggest in the group, that one was very elusive. Just when i was gonna pull the trigger on him he changed the angle he was runnin at darted behind a boulder.
Other results for the hunt:
My dad got a small ewe as did my brother. Not much for lookin at but real good eatin.

thanks for the comments
