Sorry guys!!! With some help, I think I got the pics fired up this time around!!!
Intro;
Well, someone asked for pics in my new member intro! So I thought I'd go right to my favs!!! Not xbow hunting, but thought some may find it entertaining anyway. I'm spoiled to live in BC, Canada where we have mountains to climb, and a huge variety of game! Including one of the most prized, Stone sheep in the very remote, northern parts!!! FYI, non residents pay between 50-55 Gs to bag one of these brutes!
I finally got a guy to commit to a trip up where I've been twice before. And I booked flights and dates right away! Flights gotta be booked in late winter or early spring, because the few bush pilots there are, get really booked with hunts. His last 4 days of July were already full! So we chose to fly July 27th. Because there was nooo way we wanted to be flying on Aug 1st, opening day!!! Especially when we needed a couple days just to backpack into the ram's area from the lake!
Months of training, preparing homemade dehydrated food and packing began! And we pulled outta Kelowna in my big red Tundra for the long drive north, on the 26th of July.
I know this place very well, and there are huge rams in it! Last year, I saw 17 rams in one group on opening day!!! One of which was a wopping 4-5 inches past full curl!!! So he was the one I was really hoping for this year!
So, this year was an epic hunt!!! And I literally, 'Hammered' my first Stone Ram!
Let's get to it, here's the low down;
I had my 25-06, Weatherby S2 loaded with RL 17 behind my new 92gr Hammer Hunter, all copper pills, as I set up on a group of Stone rams at about 500 yds!! (Ya, I like tiny, fast meds!!!)
It was Aug 2nd, about 3pm, and they had no idea I was there! I made sure the big boy was way past full curl, then had to wait for him to be in a good place for Hammer time!!! I got my quarter bore in a solid position on the ground, and made sure I could lay in a good prone position. With the help of a small, cloth bag I keep with me, I filled it with dirt to use as a shooting bag. It was past 5:30pm, when he woke up, and stood perfect!!! ......BOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!
