So I guess Rams are in the sheep family right?!
My son and I made our 2nd trip to Hog Haven in Kenna, WV for rams this time. (First time was hog hunt)
Check out that hunt here: Hog Hunt
Same accommodations for this hunt, whole family went down cabin is big enough for my wife and daughter to hang out while we are out.
Perfect day. 25° in the morning working up to 50° high. Josh(Owner and Guide) starts day about 8am. Into the buggy and through the gate. Sun was out as we sought out our Rams(only 2 on property). After some creeping around Josh stops the buggy to check around a blind spot with out blowing it by riding right past them. "They are up there" he said. Ok game on! Get everybody loaded up and ready to move. We creep along lower hill out of sight to get better and angle. And move about 60 yards around the side of hill through and over thick stuff until we are coming right up in front of them about 75 yards uphill shot from 15 yards into wood line. As soon as we crest of hill to spot them its time to set up on the sticks. My son goes first. Set up a few positive words from Dad(me) and the guide and crack. RAM DOWN. My ram does 360 to see what could be going on I quickly high five and fist bump as i get on sticks...wait for a decent broad side shot. BOOM! 2nd ram down. Within 10ft of each other.
