Default First Ram

Fought hard for this guy with a 7 day hunt, 26km deep. Very happy with the work from Brian at Artistic Taxidermy. First rams live forever!

Thanks guys! It was a heavy pack-out for sure. The excitement helps keep the feet moving. Brian was awesome to deal with and added my casing in for personal touch.

You earned that one bud...My favorite hunting story for sure from this past fall was hearing about you taking this ram...(yes, even more than Jonah killing his first bull)...

Thanks everyone! I was shooting a 7mm RM Christensen Ridgeline. Just sold it a couple weeks ago actually. Great gun, just a bit much for packing around.

Thanks everyone! I had put the story down on paper and sent it to Rob who edits for the AO magazine. If he doesn’t use it I will post it up here for some entertainment through the pandemic.
