    Desert Bighorn Sheep Hunt....tag filled !!


    After many days scouting....glassing & hiking..filled my once in a lifetime Utah Desert Bighorn tag..
    these majestic wild sheep live in some of Utah's most rugged...remote & beautiful country...you think your body is in good condition until you put your 35# daypack on.....your rifle...fanny pack...binoculars and start hiking at 7000' in Utah's high desert..I'll post the full story later on the 'Big Game' page..this Ram was taken with my Tikka 6.5x55 using Nosler 140 grain Accubonds at 190 yards....paying respect to the animal I will be having a full body mount done by a local experienced taxidermist...will honestly be a hunt to remember for a lifetime...

    S/shot Savage & heavy Pac Nor's rock !! 'JM' Marlin lever gun nut !

    Fantastic.
    I just got back from Torrey today. It looks like you had some nice weather up there, at least on one day.
