The Hunt went GREAT!!!! I went out the night before and camped out...It is a Beautiful Place!!!! We (My Wife and I) got up at about 5 am and got ready. At about 6 am we went out with the other hunters that where there. We scouted around for a couple hours and saw MANY different Rams and Pigs!!! Finally I found just the right Ram. He was a nice Black Hawaiian!!! I took aim at him and just as I went to pull the trigger my wife said "WAIT!!! Whats that?" I took a quick look at it was a Very Large Corsican (about 140 pounds) and at Exactly 91 yards. He was Beautiful. I took aim at him and pulled the trigger! BANG! My Trusty Savage Striker in 22-250 sounded off. It was a direct lung hit! The 55 grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw had found its mark! The ram jumped up and fell over DEAD!!! The Bullet had gone straight thru the Ram and blew out 4 entire ribs for a exit wound! I am very impressed both with this caliber and bullet!! The only down side to this trip is that my wife has decided she would like to start hunting!! Now I have to share the hunt funds! It sure is GREAT to have a wife that likes this kind of stuff! Well, I am planning a group trip back out there the end of March so if anyone is intersted Please let me know. Here is a quick pic of the Ram....
