Bighorn sheep tenderloins are to die for !

[SteyrAug]

Took 17 years to draw a tag and 2 weeks at 10,000+ feet and passing many smaller rams but worth the wait !

288 yards, Benelli R1 300 winmag, Nightforce 2.5-10x32 ill. , Nosler 165 AB @3100.

WYG&F says 10-11 years, had an old broken foot and probably would not make it through another winter.

 

[Robin]

Always wondered what they taste like.

[wizrd]

A good friend, who has hunted North America (Grand Slam on sheep) -and Africa extensively says the bighorn is absolutely the BEST wild game that you could ever hope to taste...just saying.

 

[GUNSICK]

Looks really old, surprised it lasted this long. Sheep looks good though.

 

[Jezman]

Great job I am jealous.

 

[Depick]

That’s an impressive animal it’d probably make a decent mount.

 

[Saltwater60]

Glad you achieved your goal and had fun. I’d love to take a hunting trip at some point. There’s always something else that comes up though.

 

[Bananabandit]

Id give her the ol college try

 

[Marine Cpl]

Look how thick those glasses are. No wonder scopes go on everything.

They double the scopes magnification

 

[dubleuhb]

17 years to wait and all you tagged was a cripple? Great job.

 

[SteyrAug]

Gee Willie, can we see your "trophies" ? Nothing better to do than crap on a disabled Vet who accomplished something you never will.
You best stay with Cuomo, jerks like you don't do well in WYO.

dumbdub, Hardly a cripple. He was heading up a group of 6 younger bachelor rams. His injury was years old, and wasn't slowing him down a bit.
If you didn't have a case of DNS about wild game out West, you would know that a real cripple would never survive a single WYO winter, not to mention the Wolves, Yotes and Griz bears. We see a lot of pulled down cripples on our spring high country rides (on horses). Most of them became cripples due to flatland non-resident hunters who fancy themselves "long range hunters". But, I'm sure a guy who digs Asian girls with big Cigars, doesn't fit that profile. (Your fantasy of having your own Monica?)

My "go to" hunting rifle that took the sheep and lots more game. Probably still legal in NY ?

Even you said he wouldn't make it through another winter, did you not?

Your guide got you close enough to shoot at a cull before he died naturally. Again great job.

 

[SteyrAug]

No dumbdub, I didn't say that, the WYG&F biologist who examined him said that. If you think starving to death or being pulled down by predators is preferable to a quick bullet, I suggest you try it.

BTW a "cull" is an animal in excess to what the habitate can support ----- you know like the 1000s of deer killed in NY by farmers with cull permits.

Still waiting to see all your trophies ---- especially those shot a few steps from 300 yards (woodchucks don't count).

Now leave the site to the adults while you sniff your Suzie Wong cigar.

So you've played the woe is me card, resort to name calling, claim I know nothing and all I did was state the obvious and tell you great job.

For the record, "trophies" aren't my thing. I hunt and fish for relaxation and food not for attaboys. Different strokes for different folks.

As for the cull, around here it's nuisance deer the farmers thin. A cull is a weak, less desirable, like a limping ram.

 

[SteyrAug]

A'int no woe here. I do things that for whatever reason you can't/have not.

Just another internet bully with zero credibility when it comes to serious high country hunting.

Now go back to to playing some car theft game and dreaming that you could ever find that Asian beauty w/o paying for it.

 

[carpediem]

I saw the picture and now I know that Obi Wan spends his retirement from fighting the Empire hunting bighorn sheep in the midwest. Just use the force to choke em out and the ole light saber to cut em up and away you go. Good for you Ben!

 

[Marine Cpl]

Did that guide take the shot for you? I really can't see how you could have. With that amount of magnification with both the scope and your glasses, the sun would have burned your eyes out.

You know nothing about me, who is the bully? I haven't stooped down to your level with the name calling or claiming I know everything, (though I think I do sometimes). I don't play video games so stop making yourself look like an idiot, have some class, go eat your Rocky mountain oysters, or just continue to be a miserable troll, I don't care.

Awe damn I went there.

 

[wizrd]

That is some real pretty wood on that rifle...just saying.

 

[SteyrAug]

Yes there is nice wood. Unusual that the fore end matches the buttstock. I have another in 270 WSM that is as nice although it has rolling grain like a wave of different colors.

None of these are bad either.

or these:

Now, can someone tell me how I can put the children on ignore ? Thanks.

I think he was joking. Nice bag btw.

 

[SteyrAug]

He is a joke. F-ing weekend warriors who has never made a combat jump.

 

[Marine Cpl]

If you are referring to me, you are correct. Marines aren't airborne unless they are in Recon or Marsoc units.

 

[SomeSoldier]

Why are we trashing this guys thread?? We should support each other. This is why the left is winning with gun control.

 

[Airborneguy]

I don’t recall ever saying I did make a combat jump. I do have plenty of deployments under my belt though. I don’t brag about that stuff. Real vets don’t.

You’re a joke, a troll. An old man who gets his jollies “bragging” to people who for whatever reason still have to live here.

I’d imagine everyone would hate me if I bragged about not having to follow these laws as well. So I don’t. Because I’m not an asshole.

Oh and your planes were never “perfectly good”. They broke down on us more times than I can count. I’d never want to be in an Air Force bird without a chute. Almost crashed over San Diego in a C-130 that randomly decided to go on fire back in 2000. That was fun. Or the C-141 that fell apart over Oklahoma on my way to Bosnia. Another awesome plane.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Because all his threads are about, "Look what I have from my home state that you NY'ers cannot have!" If you look him up, he gets banned from other forums so he comes here.

 

[SteyrAug]

SomeSoldier, They are trashing me because they can not force me to follow their agenda. Same mindset they had on the 3rd grade playground.

I probably spent more time in NYS than these bully boys and unlike them was smart enough to see where the loons in Albany were taking us.

Since they cannot admit, my choices were better, they must destroy me. That's how totalitarians work. Wonder when all you folks are going to have to dig up your buried ARs ?

 

[Airborneguy]

Hmm. I’d say sticking around so I can leave this state with a 6 figure pension at 50, all the while enjoying my gun rights just fine and being able to carry concealed nationwide isn’t such a dumb choice. But with your eyesight, you’d probably have a hard time seeing that.

I’m leaving in 45 min to go hunt with a full featured 7.62x39 AR with a red dot on it, you know, because I can see.

 

[SteyrAug]

AB, anytime you want to square off with me at 1000 yards in WYO let me know.

Army Expert w/four bars, USAF ribbon ----- you have ?

Ever been to Perry ? I thought not. LMAO.

BTW, your "pension" is part of the billions in unfunded liabilities NYS has. Where do you think the $ will come from ? Cuomo can't print $, now can he ? Oh, he'll raise taxes ? HAHA, nobody will be left to pay them.
