My dad was one of 11 Colorado residents lucky enough to draw a once in a lifetime tag for Desert Bighorn Sheep. The season opened Sunday morning and at 4:00 Sunday afternoon dad pulled the trigger and it was over. Dad and his guide floated down the river 2 miles on Saturday morning then scouted for the rest of the day. Sunday morning found them hiking above the river valley, and at 2:00 they spotted two rams. They crawled and slid and snuck their way to 90 yards, dads rifle barked, echoed down the valley, and just as quickly as it began, it was over. 12:30 a.m. Monday morning and 10 1/2 miles of hiking later they where back at camp. The ram was 7 1/2 years old, he was a nice 3/4 curl with 13 5/8" bases. Congrats to my dad on taking an awesome animal.
