Year 2005

Bob Kolowith - Trophy Bighorn Sheep

Inspired by seeing wild sheep for the first time while on a fishing trip on the Grande Ronde River in the 1970s, Bob spent the next 30 years putting in for sheep permits. After over three decades of rejection, he was notified that he'd been drawn for a coveted California bighorn sheep tag in his home state of Washington. Accompanied by his friend, Jerry Bloom and his son Mark, Bob had a hunt he'll remember forever. He was determined only to take a mature ram, and only in the presence of his two hunting partners, for deep and meaningful reasons that went beyond the size of the trophy. In the end, he didn't have to sacrifice either when be took an outstanding ram. Bob wrote an article about the hunt and it was published in the Eastmans' Hunting Journal - EHJ issue 116 Dec/Jan 10. This article was published in 2009. To see the cover page for the article click on Successful Trophy Hunters
