[@TIMMasters-n7j]

Great hunt

[@mlwalters73]

Wow, beautiful hunt. This scope would be an awesome birthday present.

[@hockeyman8010]

Getting drawn for a hunt like this is something most people only dream of. Thank you for sharing the experience for people that might not be able to experience it for them selves. Congrats on a ram, and happy hunting.

[@bigphilusc]

This short film was better than any movie I've recently seen. Makes me want to go on my first Bighorn sheep hunt!

[@johnflowers8522]

Thank you, Leupold Optics, for sharing this incredible Oregon Bighorn Sheep Hunt. Felt like I was there during this hunt. What an incredible challenge this was.

[@oldm00se]

If Leupold put this much effort bringing this video together, just think about how much effort they put in to making our “once in a lifetime” hunts successful! They have been with me for over 50 years and just keep getting better.

[@scotthammond7983]

A great example of a hunt done right with pre-hunt preparation and great respect for the terrain and the animal. Cheers!

[@dawsonjacob2021]

Leupold makes top notch videos. Better than the hunting shows on the outdoor channel

[@quasimodo6264]

Perfect combo: Leupold, the Oregon high desert, and me. Thank you!

[@Hunterusa113]

As a Australian hunter , this right here makes the itch get even bigger .. what a incredible animal but a awesome put together hunt .. well done Tim and team Leupold !! 🇦🇺

[@n.u.t.y.]

Beautiful story. Beautiful video. Beautiful bighorn. Congratulations! I plan to retire to Oregon in a couple years. Maybe, just maybe....

[@waltlovegren5937]

I drew an Oregon bighorn tag in 2022 and was successful in harvesting a great ram, ironically it was the 25th season using my Weatherby Mk5 Accumark outfitted with a Leupold Vari X 3 4.5-14x50 scope. Great video and congratulations on not only drawing a coveted tag but notching it with a great ram and a memorable hunt to last a lifetime.

[@DROlen-l8w]

A hunt of a lifetime. Something you will never forget. At random times details flash into your mind. These are the little things that make your hunt into a lifetime of memories. You remember the smell, the feel of the crisp autumn air, the tingle of excitement and the relief and satisfaction when it is over. Over 60 years of memories. Some successful, others not, but you were really there. You, the great outdoors, your rifle and friends. It doesn't get any better than that as time goes on. Over 60 years of Leupold on my favorite rifles. Thanks guys, I owe you one.

[@Kevin-db2kl]

Best company EVER! Not too many companies take the time to film a hunt of a lifetime!

[@isaiahlundberg9952]

What a hunt and can't even imagine what the feeling must be like to put one of them on the ground after all the hard work going into the hunt! Congrats to Tim!

[@DougTruman]

That was an amazing hunt. That scope would be great on my weatherby 7mm rifle. Leupold has always made amazing optics.

[@rsfrick1]

Absolutely loved this film! Professionally put together and a joy to watch! Can’t beat quality time with great friends on a very special hunt!! One day I hope to be able to say that I’ve gotten the chance to hunt sheep! Congratulations on life time memories made!!

[@rcwoolery]

It’s funny how the hand of serendipity decides to write its stories. Sometimes, it is short and quick, other times slow and patient, but mostly unexpected. I’ve always wanted to hunt a Bighorn Sheep and to see this dream come true for a fellow hunter is inspiring. Seeing Tim with a grin from ear to ear it suddenly becomes perfectly clear. It’s in these moments, that one floats above it all to view a scene that remains caught somewhere in time forever. Well done, Leupold Optics, on the quality of this story and production. Thank you for your commitment to quality products.

[@ConnorBatey]

What an amazing and truly a once in a lifetime hunt. I can’t even begin to imagine the high he is on getting to experience an amazing bighorn sheep hunt like this. My family has been using Leupold almost since the founding and has never been let down, thanks for sharing the hunt of a lifetime.

[@JayBarnard-q8i]

Spectacular views, beautiful animals, and the indescribable feeling of accomplishment a hunter gets after a once in a lifetime hunt. Great cinematography! Thank you for putting this out there for us to enjoy!

[@JimWimer]

Wow, the work that goes into this is impressive, but the reward is something that will live long. Kudos to you and the crew that made it all possible. To me, being with the right group of people is truly what makes a hunt successful, regardless of filling your tag.

[@geraldrabanal39]

Great hunt and narration. Have to admire the camaraderie during the hunt. This is what I love about the hunt. Sometimes it's not only what you harvest but who you're with.

[@oehleroutdoors]

Great film! Captured everything really well--the ruggedness of the terrain, the highs and lows of the emotions, and the respect and admiration for the animal. Nicely done!

[@scottjensen3296]

One of the most amazing experiences that I’ve only had the chance to dream about. Congratulations on an amazing Ram, an epic hunt, and memories for a lifetime!

[@joshuawerley8366]

My grandfather’s Big Horn mount sits at my front door with a picture of him from his hunt when he was my age. It keeps me dreaming about my chance to match him. This video really brings that desire to the front of my mind. Let’s get out there and enjoy all this great country has to offer!

[@mrgoodiejr]

Leupold makes the best optics in the whole world. Impressive detailed video that shows the true lengths of how far this great American company will go

[@kadenkeenlance4563]

Absolutely a cinematic experience. Truly shows that time,effort and dedication pay off. This video showed similar experiences I’ve had with my leupold scopes. They never let you down. What a hunt and what a video. Thanks leupold

[@theseraphium91F]

What an experience. Having that support system that is so willing to go out there with you and share knowledge. I never had anyone to show me how to hunt when I was a kid, but have made friends in the military that help develop these skills and would be there at the job of a hat as well. Good times, better friends.

[@TanorAlan]

Such a great story. This speaks volumes for Oregonians that go through the roller coaster of emotions with the release of these tags!

[@bomberrob410]

This is eye opening for me, the amount of effort and motivation it takes for a hunt of this level

[@MarcG-mu3bm]

I've been using a Leupold scope on my antique .308 Savage for 25 years, so many great hunts and great memories. Thank you for taking us along on the Bighorn hunt

[@jerrywood1927]

I have been purchasing Leupold optics for a lot of years. I couldn't ask for better clarity, magnification, ease of use and durability. Great film by the way. Thank you, Jerry Wood

[@anthonyperez5903]

Sooo jealous..of the hunt, the equipment, the comradery, the stalk, the exhaustion, and ultimately the results.. great film. great hunt..congratulations to all of you involved

[@DesertDweller2023]

Love watching these well produced videos. As an outdoor enthusiast, it makes you feel as though you’re there. Seeing the sun come up on a brisk morning, getting rained on while glassing a hillside, hearing your hunting partner whispering details as you settle in the crosshairs on your lifetime trophy. Great stuff! Having two VX-6’s myself, I believe they are the ultimate all around scope that provides you confidence when it matters. Thank you Leupold, for being part of this lifetime tradition that we all love.

[@ScottSawatzki]

Amazing! What an adventure.

[@kobyowens]

Great film! Well documented and told story! Congrats on the great ram!

[@Brnoutdoors]

Literally a dream hunt that only a few will get to experience in their lives. Thanks for taking us along for the journey!

[@2013BCom]

Real stroke of luck getting that sheep tag! Its even better getting to ride along to experience the hunt with the hunter. Congratulations on a really nice mature Ram. Thanks to Leupold for being so dependable!

[@timothymcknight9485]

Great video of this hunt. I enjoyed the preparation and planning that took place to have the hunt go as smoothly as it possibly could go. Thank you Leupold for making these stories come to life on film.

[@SimonSouris]

You gotta acknowledge the quality of the content produced here around the brand. Top notch. Keep up the good work and making our passion attractive and engaging for the masses 🙏

[@LeupoldOptics]

👊👊

[@kylestangel3957]

Awesome film! I couldn't imagine the feeling of drawing an Oregon sheep tag let alone the feeling of waiting between shots. Definitely shows the highs and lows of these very limited tags.

[@55OISH55]

I live in oregon and have never hunted the SE corner of Oregon. Heard lots of stories of giants in the steens. Great to see a video of a once in a lifetime hunt down there. I buy a tag for the NE ram units every yr. Awesome to see the local hunting community help a fellow hunter. Great video.

[@jbrown533]

Thank you for bringing this film to life. This may be the closest some of us get to seeing this type of hunt. Very well done!!!

[@RyanHorn-p3q]

This has always been my dream hunt! It would be a true honor to have the opportunity to experience something like this some day. I really enjoyed learning about how he prepared himself mentally and physically. Happy trails - I wish you and the Leupold team many awesome hunts in the future!

[@ryanbarton9487]

What a great story and thank you for bringing it to us!!! Thank you for the effort you put in not only in quality of products but also the value for the working man. Thank you!!!

[@danielolsen2347]

Brings back memories of my Utah hunt for a rocky bighorn. You're right, it's a lifetime of memories event. Beautiful animal and well produced video. Thanks Leupold!

[@nedblakesley7042]

Great video and even greater optics. What a dream hunt to go on. I couldn't even imagine how physically challenging this hunt was. I would be shaking like a leaf trying to hold steady.

[@ColtenFrancis-e2y]

This would be a once in a lifetime hunt! Thank y’all for doing this. Also the cinematography is amazing for whoever put this together!

[@davidfriedman905]

The cinematography is amazing! I feel like many people don't understand the athletic component of this kind of hunt.

[@LeupoldOptics]

This was definitely a hunt that required conditioning and preparation. Thanks for watching!

[@SS2-f6p]

Truly a once in a lifetime hunt. Excellent video showing the ups and downs that can happen with any hunt.

[@D-L-Cline]

Wow, what a once-in-a-lifetime hunt. To draw a tag like that, to be out there in that rugged country; as Tim put it: "time stands still." What a humbling experience. Amazing hunt, amazing video. Thanks Leupold for bringing us along.

[@MatthewBrown-n2i]

Hunt of a lifetime for sure. I never had the opportunity for a tag during my short 5 years in Oregon. Great video that captures the scenery. Well done.

[@johnwilkerson3244]

Leupold does a great job with these videos. Leupold was with me for my Stone sheep in BC in 2017.

[@jonmayer3939]

Goosebumps. That's what its all about right there. Its the prep, pursuit, making the shot, the trophy and meat, and the comradery with new or existing friends!

[@wyatt9154]

Loved this film! I hope I can head west one day for a hunt! I need some magnification tho.

[@toYOder]

It doesnt get anymore real than this. Love the video and the hunt. Memories, thats what its all about. 👍

[@caseymartin4798]

Absolutely hunt of a lifetime! Congrats to the hunter for an amazing hunt and harvest. It’s amazing how great folks can be to ensure success of a fellow outdoorsman. True sportsmanship!!!

[@mikeA-uc1zh]

Beautifully crafted video and hunt plan from the whole team. Very blessed in deed to have that opportunity come to you. I shall continue to dream!!!! Good work Leupold.

[@lucasswanson3936]

The country sheep live in is definitely one thing that sets them apart. No easy day when in pursuit of a beautiful ram. Great film!

[@austindent01]

I’ve never had the opportunity to hunt bighorn, or even visit the Steens mountain wilderness. What an excellent opportunity, and congratulations on a successful hunt!

[@donavandean1078]

Nice ram, congratulations on a trophy of a lifetime. You deserved it.

[@ChrisRobins]

congrats and well done! nice to see those folks come out to help make it all work for you.

[@pedroampuerohunting]

This was pure AWESOMENESS!!! Super well put together, top hunt and story, I could feel all the emotions through the video, congrats Tim!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@purpleheartbowhunter]

Great way to show a once in a lifetime hunt. It gives hope to those of us who take the gamble to try and get our hands on one of these tags one day.

[@dennisbaker3536]

Great film. My days of these kinds of hunts have passed, but it's exciting watching others enjoy the pursuit.

[@Sam01997]

This is an absolutely awesome video, it really shows the preparation and planning that goes into these hunts. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into a hunt some of us can only dream about.

[@DPanski]

Thank you, Leupold, for an amazing video!! This is truely a once in a lifetime hunt and one I dream about!! Maybe someday!!

[@paulobuchbauer1327]

Great video, beautiful country, and good hunting buddies... That's what it's all about.

[@mikepeters2756]

The quality and storytelling of your videos are top notch! Thank you for putting out great content and thank you more for putting out great optics that we can trust! Leupold fan for life!

[@ShaneVansteenburgh]

I can't imagine the intense thrill of the hunt of a High Desert Big Horn Sheep. I would love that opportunity, but poor hard workers like me will just have to settle for watching others enjoy it. I so glad for your successful hunt and the fact that you recorded it for us. Thank you and GREAT JOB!

[@WilliamAlexander-k9f]

Great prep for the hunt and the photography was awesome. Someday I'll draw my hunt of a lifetime! Thanks for sharing yours.

[@patrick.m.92]

Unbelievable hunt, there are some many aspects of this that you could break down into its own video from the E-scouting, to the preparation, to the outfitter selection... well done!

[@WilliamWaldron-k2x]

Awesome hunt, supported by an awesome team. Less than two months to prepare...total dedication got the job done. Congratulations!

[@jimmybigtime]

Great opportunity for a fantastic product from an American company. Thank you Leupold and good luck all.

[@anthonynew4184]

Phenomenal! Congratulations! Gratitude for taking us along and sharing your (and many others’) dream hunt experience! Love every piece of Leupold gear I own!

[@boggerman71]

Really enjoyed seeing the amount of preparation that goes into a hunt like this. Video was beautifully shot and put together. Congratulations on a stellar animal.

[@sonnylew2879]

Awesome film! He definitely took it seriously, put in the time, effort, and investment to maximize his chance of success. I liked how the experience was documented, and the cinematography is excellent!

[@outdoorxpeditions1962]

Incredible hunt and the filming was top-notch. Hunting is all about where it takes you and who you are with...the harvest is the bonus! Leupold is the best thank you for sharing this great memory and this incredible hunt.

[@clhamann]

So many of us dream to hunt sheep, and many end up going with a lucky hunter that they know that drew a tag. This film demonstrates the commitment of good friends to help knowing that they probably won't ever have a tag themselves. But, the dream lives on for many of us...

[@StevenHorsky]

Amazing hunt. Great production. I just got back from Africa in June and can only hope the production company can make my hunt look this good. Leupold has never failed me and this video was just as impressive as my glass.

[@gshpr]

Leupold is the best!! Foolishly dabbled with others and always come back. And I know where I'll be applying next year. Congratulations!!

[@NicMallo]

Incredible film. Leupold optics customer service is second to none. From personal experience on 2 occasions. Thanks guys!

[@LeupoldOptics]

Always appreciative of the support @NicMallo!! DY

[@stevewilcox5619]

Looks like it was a tough, amazing hunt. Congratulations.

[@brettbennetts7682]

Love being able to share this experience. Let’s us live vicariously through our fellow hunters. Pretty dang cool. That it’s a Made in Oregon optics set up and a made in Oregon sheep hunt. And boy he’s really got it, it’s once in a lifetime leave nothing to chance. Equipment,training and crew. Thanks for sharing

[@jasonhaga5412]

WOW, what a great film. Excellent cinematography and storytelling.

[@dwaynemartin662]

I can only imagine what it would be like to harvest a sheep someday! I dream of it often! Thanks for the great film!

[@Beaman76]

Thank you Leupold, great video! The hunt starts with the tag in the pocket but the real joy is in the time spent with great people in beautiful places… sure do miss hunting with my dad and grandfather. Each time I am wandering the hills with a gun in my hand and tag in my pocket I am thankful for the memories and true life lessons learned.

[@DirkMorris-f1g]

Excellant video. Felt like I was there, except for not near as tired, but excited for the opportunity to watch it happen. Thank you Leupold for inculding me in this adventure.

[@DLove-o4i]

This is awesome! I’ve used Leopold Optics since I was a Sniper in the military. Love these optics! I’m holding out for my ram hunt for Colorado. Watching this just makes me want it more. Congratulations!

[@HeywardHorton]

Thanks for taking me on your once-in-a-lifetime big horn hunt! Job well done from the videography, to analyzing the preparation, to taking us up the mountain, to sharing the "knots in the stomach" moment, to the celebration, to honoring the animal, to bringing him down the mountain. Superb! ...and thanks, Leupold, for great optics equipment and your lifetime guarantee (I've had to use it twice when the damage was my fault). Happy hunting, HLH

[@ronaldfrench349]

Been on 5 Oregon sheep hunts, but always as a bridesmaid. 52 years applying for an Oregon tag. My son drew a tag in 2021, so I figure thats just as good as drawing a tag myself. Congratulations on your hunt!

[@bradw7857]

Great video! I'm going to use that same type of attitude on my first South Dakota elk hunt this year. It's as tough as they say. The hills are steep. The air is thin. A little bit of pain. A lifetime of memories! 🤠

[@paulrobinson1543]

Fine hunt which tests one's metal and mental. You can't lose sight of the goal. Great job and presentation.

[@marioestradaii2201]

Absolutely incredible Ram! Congrats to you. And to have this video to replay the moment is just awesome! Makes me have faith restored in friendships by seeing how many friends showed up to help with this hunt. The hunt isn't about what we harvest, but who we harvest with. Looking forward to this seasons hunts.

[@luiscruz2245]

Leupold scopes are out of this world! Tried it out in my buddy’s rifle when we were ranging them out and definitely can tell the difference!

[@charlesfelix7014]

Wow what an amazing hunt, I don't believe I could physically do this anymore, just watching someone else to it is amazing. The practice, the workouts to be able to be fit enough to do all the hiking and then make an incredible shot to drop the animal is mind boggling. Would I love to do this heck yeah, but I do know my limitations.

[@mathias6093]

Leupold videos are the best! Best 16 minutes I spent this morning.

[@LeupoldOptics]

We've got plenty more coming your way, make sure to subscribe so you don't miss them🔥

[@EatingElk]

Steens Mountain will test a man’s toughness- that’s for sure. Brutal country for a mountain hunt. Perfect place to make a once-in-a-lifetime memory like this

[@bradleyguin6324]

Thank you for helping me procrastinate work for another 16 minutes. Excellent video and an awesome story

[@bigmacvtecdohc]

Filming a once in a lifetime hunt many can only dream of doing. Just shows the attention to the products and customers putting their products to the test for real

[@montetatum5572]

I can not fully imagine all of the emotions of being able to hunt this amazing animal. But hope to one day experience it for myself. Great job on all of the filming.
