WELL HERE HE IS!!! MY 2021 UTAH ROCKY MTN BIGHORN SHEEP. THE RAM THEY CALLED "AR-22".
It all started back in the late spring of this year when I got the email confirming that I was one of the lucky tag holders to draw my ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME-HUNT. 21 yrs in the making to draw this tag I committed to myself right than and there that I was going to spend all my spare time down on the unit to try and find the best Rams possible. Over the next several months I made over 70+ trips down to this unit and put on over 10,000+ miles on my truck and over 250+ hours behind the spotting scope. My goal over the next few months was to find 3 Rams worthy of notching my tag. I started to make my hit list. On September 18th at 7:51am all my scouting paid off when I laid my eyes on the ram they called AR-22. I immediately fell in love with this Giant and knew he was the best Ram on the unit and instantly earned the #1 spot on the hit list. I spent the rest of my scouting trips focusing on AR-22, and each time I laid my eyes on him he took my breath away. On November 1st on the 3rd evening of the hunt, all those trips and hours behind the glass finally paid off as I made a 550 yard one and done shot on a Ram that was even bigger than I had ever imagined. I want to thank my family, my friends and the new friends I made along the way who helped make this dream hunt possible and especially thank my family for the HUGE SACRIFICES made to fulfill a life long dream of Harvesting such a magnificent animal. Definitely a Hunt of a lifetime that I will cherish forever. #185
