Contrary to my previous post, there are good representative trophies of Corsican sheep on the ranch! At least one!
I was filling and checking feeders Friday morning around 11:30 am and was driving from the Doghouse to the Cave Blind. About one third of the way down the steep hill to the Cave Blind, a herd of Corsican crossed the road about 80 yards in front of me. I have seen this herd many, many times in this area - all females. However, I looked closer and saw horns and realized a ram was in the herd. I quickly glassed him (a good reason to always wear binoculars on the ranch) and realized he was a good trophy.
My buggy was on a steep slope and thanks to a previous (and last) use of it by Bill, the parking brake was broken. I placed my right foot on the brake and stood up and reached back for my rifle. While I was chambering a round, the herd starting running. I brought the rifle up just in time to see the ram pause for a second or so to look back before he went into the brush - BANG! He was on the ground. From when I saw them until now, about 7 seconds.

That's what you have to do after Bill Coffey uses your vehicle and breaks the brake!
