Congrats Doug,
Nice ram, you did the right thing, people that would critize you for doing what you did either have not hunted with the bow very long and or have never been in the situation where you have to make a decision in a hurry.
Thanks for taking us along.
Regards, Bert.

Doug, thanks for taking us with you.

I also found an ancient arrow head on a stock, then killed a buck, it makes it a little spiritual to think right here, maybe thousands of years ago, there was a bow hunter seeking a kill with his bow.

Nice ram the hard way    :thumbsup:

If a story like that don't inspire you to work harder at being a better hunter and being more patient, nuthin will. Thank you Doug for that incredible journey.

Doug
Thanks for letting us live your hunt with you, and with out all the bad weather and humping the cliffs like you had to  :D  
Thats a super ram and even though I'm probably older than you, I wanna be Doug Campbell when I grow up.  :cool:  

I'll be looking forward to seeing that ram on the wall when I get the pleasure of a visit. Very cool hunt bud, congrats again  :thumbsup:  Robin

Great story Doug. You got him with the bow. The rifle shot was insurance on an already dead animal, no harm in that, even if he was still alive, no harm. Great job.

Oh Doug, That ram is absolotuely increidble, and the pic of him showing off his snowy markings next to you is picture perfect! He is gorgeous and majestic and a treat for me to see, I am so happy for you and really happy that you were able to take time out and share this with us.
My dream hunt would be for one of those sheep but it 's just about as satisfiying being along with another like yourself especially during this glory time  :)

He is beautiful!  :campfire:

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.
