Desert Bighorn Ram

[Squirrel Hunter]

New Mexico desert bighorn sheep
Solo hunt in Little Hatchet mountains, Oct 2025

NM biologist says this is the first desert BH killed in NM with a trad bow and probably with any bow. I wonder what the Apaches and Anasazis would say about that?

60 lb homemade black locust bow
560 gr pine arrow with Woodsman head

Getting him out by myself in 90 deg heat nearly killed me. At 70, I think I'm too old for this kind of hunting.
