Timbo’s “Dream-Come-True” Sheep Hunt!
Timbo is always looking for those special hunts. The search does not necessarily depend on the size of the horns and antlers or where the animal will list in the record books. His deciding factor is just in total appeal of the animal to him. It is not important who else knows that he took the animals, just that he knows and can enjoy the memories of the hunt for the rest of his life; that he can look back and know that this animal was hunted in fair chase and was treated with respect before and after the hunt; that the animal is appreciated for what it is and is not compared to this one or that one; that he can reflect, enjoy and take in the hunt from the smallest detail of the animals appearance to the habitat in which the animal lived; that in some small way, he is contributing to the survival of many different and rare animals by giving them value as a species.
Markhor Hunt...The Grand Old Survivor!
Through the years, many hunters have shared hunts with us here on the Patio Ranch. Of those many individuals, a few seem to have a knack for being in the right place at the right time to spot or be in position to get a good shot at their quarry. Woody is one of those individuals. However, to Woody on that morning of his markhor hunt, it probably seemed that this was not one of the gifts that he had been blessed to possess.
