While hunting season started off slowly for me, I made up for it in late September when Vanessa and I snuck into a remote basin in the Alberta Rockies and found a trophy bighorn ram. I managed to sneak within 59 yards of him and dispatched the big ram with one shot from the 7mm STW. It turned into a 15-hour day with heavy packs and Vanessa took a bad fall and fractured her elbow but she toughed it out and returned with me the following day for a second load of meat.
The following weekend, buddy Dan Mosier came down to hunt for bighorn ewes
with us and he took a nice fat ewe that will provide some great meals this winter.

Not to be outdone, Vanessa followed up the next weekend by taking a nice fat ewe herself. She dropped the ewe at 197 yards with the Pro Hunter 7mm Rem Mag shooting Hornady 139 grain Accubonds. While temperatures were only +2, the bright sun and good fortune made for an incredible day in the Rockies.
