Welcome to Team Wild's Air Power. This week we're back in Texas chasing sheep at the Texas
Hunt Lodge.
We've taken a variety of beautiful sheep off this ranch over the past few months and have
helped with the management of the animals.
Any sheep that have passed their prime or are struggling with their health have fallen
to the mighty Benjamin Rogue .357 big bore air rifle.
On a ranch like this management is absolutely key.
To keep the herds healthy the weak and old need removing so that young blood can up their
strength through the gene pool and keep the bloodline healthy.
Once again it's that tried and tested big bore behemoth that's the air rifle of choice
today and again it's ram management time.
I head out across the Texan dirt looking for a good vantage point to stalk in from.
So, awhile ago we were stalking in a group of goats and we saw these sheep. One of them,
a really nice black one, has got a broken off horn and while we're out here the owner
asked me if it was possible to take him out. He's a pretty mature ram on one side, but
on the other side it looks like it's broken off. So if we can try to put a sneak on him,
he's a corsican ram; beautiful brown colour in the body, white belly. Plenty of cover
here so we'll take our time. The wind's coming in the right direction, coming across to our
right. We can take our time, should be able to get a shot.
Okay, so you can see them there. They're 170 yards away and a couple of them have laid
down so we know their relaxed. It's pretty open on the left hand side of us but then
there's some cover. So if we can dip into the cover, the wind's coming to the right
of us, we should be able to get down, use the mesquite trees there as cover. Something's
spooked them.
No they're just playing. So we need to try to get around if we can.
The group is just a little further ahead and are feeding in the opposite direction. I just
need to cover a little more ground to be in range for a shot.
We need to get a bit further around, try to get into that stuff over there. Stay down,
come left.
I creep ever closer, but still a shot isn't on the cards.
So, less than 100 yards now. There we go, they're behind the cedar now so let's go in.
Okay, 78. Just need to get a bit closer. We need them to move into the brush, move into
the cedar. Winds still good, so it's just moving into that cover. It's starting to pick
up now. They're just behind the trees, starting to come into, about to come into view. So,
blonde corsican ram, once they disappear into that cedar we can head on, just around on
the left hand side of things, the far cedar here that we can use to come in.
I make one final push and get into a good position. The group are moving right to left
in front of me.
I pick my spot.
And fire.
Perfect, okay so he's done and he's out. Let's get him out here and have a look. There's
plenty of good lung-blood on here, so we've hit him good in the lungs. Nice corsican ram,
big in the body and as you can see why they wanted to take him out. He's got a decent
spread one side, but it's broken off here on the other. He's a bit of a fighter, you
can see here in his face he's all gnarly and scarred up, just nasty. This boy has had his
fair share of fights. You can see from the blood coming out of his nose and mouth it's
a good double lung shot. Which is one of the reason's he's gone down so quick, I imagine. It's also quite red, so I'd be interested to see, we probably nipped the top of the heart as well.
Really pleased with the shot placement, once again he'd made his way from cover so it gave me an opportunity to get into position, we knew he was going
to come out, we took the opportunity to take the shot. So really pleased, great performance
once again from the Benjamin Rogue .357 big bore airgun. Anyone who doesn't think is capable
of taking big game, well we keep delivering proof to you time, after time, after time. So what
we need to do now, we've walked a pretty long way, is try to get him back to the lodge.
I have absolutely no idea where we are, sometimes in hunting you get taken up in the moment.
But once again, good hunt, now we've got some work to do.
Another fantastic hunt in the heart of Texas with the Benjamin Rogue .357 big bore behemoth.
