Default Desert Bighorn Ram

Started 2020 with a bang! Was lucky enough to go for a desert bighorn hunt down to mexico, and what an experience! Was lucky enough to harvest this old tank of a ram on day 1.
Ill add the story of the adventure a little later

Looking forward to hearing the story. How was the terrain, were you able to get close or did it require a longer shot?
