🐏 SHEEP HUNTER SPOTLIGHT: 14 YEARS IN THE MAKING

In 2012 Bradey hit the mountains in hopes for his first Stone sheep.
In 2026 Bradey finally got to say he shot his first sheep, and it was a hunt worth waiting for.

After being dropped off by float plane, he hiked into the mountains and spent the first week glassing for a legal ram.

On the first day, he spotted three rams about 800 yards away. One appeared to be legal, so he got into position and observed him for several hours before deciding to pass. Over the following days, he saw plenty of sheep, but most of the rams were only 3–4 years old. By the end of the week, he was beginning to think he might be heading home empty handed.

On the last evening Bradey climbed a peak he hadn’t been to yet and spotted a group of rams over a kilometre away. One caught his eye. Bradey crossed the valley, dropped his pack and belly crawled into position. The rams bedded exactly where he expected, the wind was perfect, and at around 7:30 p.m., he took his shot from 100 yards.

Bradey’s first sheep. 🏔️🐏

• 7 years old
• Full curl
• 34 1/2” length
• 12 3/8” bases

He believes that the ram he turned his back to on opening day was bigger than the one he shot, yet Bradey wouldn’t change a thing. Refusing that big ram gave him the opportunity to hunt the mountains for the whole trip.

🎒 His go-to gear:
- Kimber Mountain Ascent .280 Ackley Improved - Swarovski 3–9x42
- Vortex spotting scope & tripod
- Swarovski binoculars
- Lowa boots
- MagView phone adapter
- Jetboil
- Sea to Summit pillow

His biggest challenge?
Finding a legal ram.

His advice to other sheep hunters:
Do your homework, watch as many Mike Bridger videos as you can, use the resources from the Wild Sheep Society, and most importantly, be patient.

Congratulations Bradey on an incredible first time ram, and thanks for sharing your experience with us! We love hearing the stories behind the sheep. 🐏

Fully stocked up on Diaphragms❗️
If you're looking for a great call to get dialed in for the season, come check out our Riven Origin Series! 🏔️🦌

The Riven Origin Series 3-pack is a great option for elk hunters looking to expand their diaphragm calling game. These non dome calls give experienced callers plenty of control and tone range to work through a wide variety of elk vocalizations.

🔸 Single Lady — Built around sweet, smooth cow and calf sounds. A great choice when you want realistic cow talk.

🔸 Black Ice — Designed for advanced callers who want to manipulate the call and produce a wide range of realistic elk sounds.

🔸 Stratum — The versatile one. Capable of producing convincing bull and cow sounds, including the more aggressive vocalizations elk hunters are looking for during the rut.

All three feature Riven’s OG non-dome chassis, designed for an experienced caller who wants more control and a wider range of elk sounds. This flatter diaphragm can take practice to master, but once you get the hang of them, they produce incredibly realistic elk vocals.
