Great recap, congrats Doc, thanks for taking us along. Those type of hunts push you to the limits, I have been on 3 or 4, if you never been you just do not know.

Congratulations to you sir!

Well I'm 54 and can tell you I'll never be able to get in shape to do anything remotely close to this hunt anymore. I tip my hat to you for doing it !

What is a legal ram there? Would this be considered a 3/4 curl ? Age of the ram? I'm just curious, not banging you.

[hchntr]

What a story!
Congratulations doc

Congrats on the slam, Greg! Sounds like one heck of a grind on this hunt for sure. That's one heck of an accomplishment (this ram) all by itself. Great job!

[Tmag]

Great write up of a great hunt Doc. Congratulations on your ram, he’s a trophy to be proud of. Safe travels back home.

Great story, I am happy for you and your accomplishments.

[hopedale]

Congrates! Yesterday was a bit long, so I missed this but found it today.

Outstanding story and finish to the Grand Slam.

The dang recap was so good I'm about to pop 800mg of ibuprofen for my own knees.

[docmay]

One last meal before I head back to reality! ****, it’s been fun.

A legal ram in most areas of Alberta has to be 4/5 curl. If you draw a line from the front part of the base through the front of the eye then the horn on one side must break that plane. Much more wiggle room once caped out. If I was by myself there is no way in hell I shoot that ram. It made it by 3/4 to 1 inch. My ram looks like he was 6 years old. I have mixed emotions. If I thought I might see a bigger ram I would have considered passing. After talking to these guys, on a typical hunt you see one legal ram about every 14 days. Overall long term success with an outfitter runs 50%. My guys probably run 80-100% opportunity per year which is great. Always the hunter side of the equation gets mixed in. If I went bow only I bet my chances were 10-15 percent. There was one area that was ideal to bowhunt and they see rams there every year. We didn’t see any in that spot.

Epic Doc. Man you always get it done. What’s your next hunt? Whitetail with the bow in hill country? You headed back to that Starr ranch?

I’ll be hunting the lease in Mason with the family. Not seeing any trophy bucks but there will be targets. The wife and I go to Spain in November. Both hunting ibex. Then in April I have the big one—-Polar Bear!!!

[Wence]

Great hunt and recap Doc. I, as many here, follow your hunts because you do such a great job with the story and pictures. Congratulations and Gig’em!

[Quackerbox]

I was curious how many have completed the slam so I had to go look.

As of Jan 2021 only 173 people have done it. Pretty incredible really.

[14JKURX]

Congratulations on a great hunt .
I enjoy following along and that trip ending meal looked good also.

[kenith_rowe2004]

Congrats Doc, great write up and great ram.

[chastings77]

Thanks for taking us along doc, hope to be up there someday...until then I am training.

Just noticed we both live in the 'beautiful' Amarillo, small world.

Surprised you haven't delivered one of our kiddos, we have 6 and Barnett delivered most of them.

God bless!

[Buck Roar]

Doc,

Great write up, story and pics.

If Barnett delivered them when he was still in our practice then I am amazed I wasn’t involved at some point!

That’s pretty dang close. That line to make 4/5 can actually come back a bit where it hits the eye. When caped out you gain a fair amount of leeway. I bet 1/2 an inch or more. But, you got it right.

[WyoBull]

Outstanding hunt, Doc!
