[QUOTE="Predator 22, post: 2622497, member: 79364"] This hunt has been a long time dream of mine come true. I first became interested in bighorn as a kid listening to my father talk about two rams butting heads while he was deer hunting around blue mesa reservoir. When my wife and I were married in 2011 my father-in-law and I were talking hunting one night while having a few beers and decided to start applying for a license in our home state of Colorado. I lucked out first and drew this year. So it has been a hectic few months preparing. As soon as I found out I drew I started on a diet and hiking more, getting gear ordered and tested, prepping a gun and optics and scouting as much as weather and work would allow. Gun specs: Semi custom Rem 700 bdl 6.5 Sherman Short 24" Bartlein 3b 1:8 twist Ziess v4 4-16x44 Carbon fiber Mcmillan game hunter edge fill Timney trigger Berger 156 EOL After practicing to 1000 yards regularly I ended up with a 413 yard chip shot.
