Congrats on your successful hunting adventure! A great ram in a challenging setting. I don't have a .260 but am interested in getting a 6.5mm some day, soon I hope.

Waytago BB!! Nice beautiful animal! Didn't know they had any of those in the U.S.A. Is that hunt on a private reserve/ranch? or a wild hunt? I'd love to see some out in the woods, I bet they're a bit spooky too.

Nice! I've become a .260 fan too.

Thanks everybody.
Suz, the Mouflon isn't native to the USA. It has been successfully introduced to many countries in Europe and I believe it's roots are from Corsica. We hunted these on private property. The guy that owns this place owns an entire valley here and another similar in western PA. He stocks both whitetail and fallow deer, elk and these sheep. On his other property he stocks elk and bison. The best part for me is that you can walk all day and never see a fence. Another really good part of it is that my Brother-in-law is in business with the owner so the hunts don't cost me a cent.
I'm not really a trophy hunter. My thrill comes more from the hunt and seeing my rifle, handloads and myself perform. I kept the meat and told my BIL he could have the trophy. He has walls filled with them, many of which I harvested.
Don

Good job Don, although I have customarily taken exception to "high fence" hunts...

Congrats Don, I often thought of getting a .260 but never have.
