Default My Fannin Ram

I got called up on a cancellation hunt in the Yukon. We rode in 3 days to an area that they had never hunted before, but we found no rams. I passed this ram up on the way in and decided to take him on the way out. He's not huge but is a nice pretty ram. He gets me to 3/4 status for my grand slam. I had a great hunt.











Can you find me?

No doubt! I'm sure it will look sweet when its all done up. I still need to make a trip out to see the cattle and that trophy room of yours!!

Did your bighorn trip get postponed or cancelled for the year?

Congrats on your ram sheep nut. Who where you hunting with?
Thanks for taking the time to share your pics and story with us.

I’m guessing a desert ram is the last in your quest…..?
