Finally got him. 5th day. Beautiful and hard won AZ ram. Spotted him at dawn and 2 1/2 miles of climbing up and across the mountains finally got the drop on him at 12:50. One shot at 220 yards. Never been so happy in all my life.  Beautiful ram. Lots of mass but both horns broomed will probably keep him just shy of the record book. Doesn't matter to me a bit. A great adventure and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you guys for all your well wishes. Ready to see Texas again!

Outstanding ram counselor!!! I think that photo would have to be blown up and put on the wall beside the mount, love the color on the horn too  Congrats on a great hunt
