Broadside
Hold on the back line of the near front leg, a third of the way up the body. The white coat flattens the ram's outline, which makes it hard to see the leg and elbow. Glass for the shadow behind the elbow.
Quartering and other angles
Shooting steeply downhill, hold higher on the near side so the bullet exits low through the far lungs. Quartering away, aim for the far front leg. A bedded ram often pauses after standing up, which can give a clean broadside before he moves.
Do not
Do not shoot a ram above a drop where you cannot recover him, and do not shoot before you have counted curl and age as required by the rules in your area.
Where they live and the typical miss
Found in the mountains of Alaska and northwestern Canada. The typical miss is high, caused by long range, steep angles and a white target with little contrast against snow and rock.
Weather and range
Dall hunts involve heavy packs, long stalks and cold hands. Practise shooting off your pack in field positions before the season, not just from the bench.
