This was the perfect reason to add a new rifle to the herd, so ordered a Barrett Fieldcraft 270 Win for the hunt. Working to lock down an outfitter.
The more hunters I talk to, the more I realize how crazy lucky I was to draw this sheep tag. Very motivated to get the most out of the opportunity.

Hunt was incredible...and a physical and mental beating. First shot from 525 yds sure looked like a kill shot when he dropped like a stone on the cliff ledge...until 20 min later when he unexpectedly stood up and walked off while we were packing up our gear on the slope down below. 4 hrs, a couple miles, 2 more hits with a 270, and a whole lot of stress later, the ram was finally down. For a period of time I thought he was gone for good, but my guide was the eternal optimist and kept pushing me along the ledges until we tracked him down. That day we covered 7 miles and 2200 vertical feet on sand, rocks, cliff ledges and boulders. It was the most challenging hunt I’ve ever done and an epic adventure. Definitely a tag of a lifetime.
Arizona is awesome.
