Slam Completed

[dukxdog]

Well, last Monday I killed a Sonora Desert Bighorn sheep that completed my Grand Slam of North American Wild Sheep.

I killed my Dall ram in the Yukon Territory in 1984.

I solo scouted for 24 days and hunted two days for my Bighorn ram in Idaho's Owyhee River in 2014.

I backpacked last August (2023) in the Cassiar Mountains of northern British Columbia for my Stone ram.

It's always been more of a dream than a goal for me. I've been a western mountain hunter since I was 18 years old.

I guided and outfitted in Wyoming for 27 years.

It took 40 years since I pulled the trigger on my first ram. This was also the 86th sheep hunt that I have either guided or

personally hunted. Being now 67, I hope to have some more seasons left before I can't any longer lace up my boots.

That's awesome and congratulations on making your dream a reality.

Congratulations. At the Sheep Show a few years ago there was a guy from California who, at that time had 11 1/4 slams! That's 45 sheep! Obviously he has deep pockets.
