California BigHorn, Dall, Desert,Rocky Mountian or Stone...?? i want to see pictures!

I'm sure there are quite a few, but a great feat would to be the first in your state.  Steve Gorr of Cascade Archery (sponsor) took the first Bighorn with a trad bow in Colorado in 1973.  It was a full curl with 33" horns and Steve took it with a running shot at 30 yards.

A little off topic, but I live 45 mins from glacier natl park, and have been within 5 yards of mountain goats several times, they have very little fear of humans around Logan pass, as it is a very popular tourist area. The sheep I've seen there have been a bit more wary, keeping a good distance.  I hope to take one or the other with a longbow someday, but unfortunately it won't be this year.

I know the Robertson boys, Yote and Dick have done well. Yote has taken 3 Dall Rams with a longbow, maybe the only person to have done so.

Catalina ram, #46 Kanati with a 660 grain arrow.
First shot was 30 yards and the second was 70. Couldn't believe I made that one...

I believe Doug Campbell killed one with a stone head a couple years ago. I tried to find his write up on here but have not been able to. If I remember correctly it had a strange follow up story as well.

Doug Bourgland,he was with Jay Massey at the time.A fantastic story in the Alaskan Bowmen Magazine.
Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"

I've shot a few ewes over the years. Missed two Rams. Did get a ewe tag this year.
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

My dad shot a bunch of sheep with a Jack Howard Gamemaster.  Don't know where he got them all, but he hunted a lot on Catalina and (I think) Santa Cruz islands.  I wasn't quite born yet when he got them (I'm 41 now), but lived all my growing up years looking at the mounts, which included, among a lot of other species, several sheep.
