[QUOTE="B-LOT Banga, post: 3015768, member: 106734"] While hunting 25 yrs ago on the PTA military training area here on the big island they laid out razor wire along side of road’s intersections. Well our favorite animal to hunt is the Hawaiian Black ram which is of course wooly. While stalking a herd the wind swirled and they spooked running towards me and as I stood up to draw my bow the herd cuts and jumps over the razor wire bundled up against some bushes and an unlucky ram had his back leg snagged, I quickly jump on him out of excitement but then realized I can’t kill him even though his horns were huge in the 35” range so my friend decided he would take it home alive. After some trial and error we finally figured out a way that he could walk the ram out without it kicking our butts and getting away. We walked along the highway on a dirt road and about a mile to go we decided to take a break and eat lunch in hopes of our ram getting the attention of some other sheep that might walk our way. Well we got some attention but the wrong kind, some idiot stopped along the highway with his high powdered rifle and shot 4 times as he was making bad shots the ram was jumping up and down on bouncing on us while we were screaming our heads off trying to dig ourselves underground like a groundhog. Luckily Mr. Sniper had to reload giving us the chance to jump up and start screaming. He was maybe 100 yds away but I could see his whites of his eyes as he threw his gun in his car and sped off. We never found out who it was and we had to kill the ram but having bullets hit an animal jumping on you less than a foot away was the scariest hunting incident I’ve had. I would take big foot any day!! [/QUOTE]
