He took the ram at 40 feet. WE had seen several legal rams but a few were not possible to get within bow distance and a few when he stalked got busted well before he was within range. Got to take my hat off to sheep hunter who do it with a bow.
Wow, 2 very impressive feats with a bow, congrats to you and your partner.. I shoot recurve so my personal limit I've set for myself is 20 yards... haven't harvested anything yet with it but been close.. lots of fun with the challenge of getting that close.. I believe the feat will most easily be accomplished on a black bear - when they're foraging and the wind is right, they're very easy to sneak up close to..
