What was wrong with the meat? Was the animal too old?

To answer the question. I killed this ram in Ohio. Yes, it was behind a fence. 1,400 acres with only a permimeter fence. No bait, spot and stalk only. One of the most challenging hunts I have ever been on.
No, I am not a fan of fenced hunting.
Back then, I hunted with a bow only.
Tried to eat a little of it. The more I chewed it, the bigger it got.

How much did it costs you?
I've seen bow hunts for big horn sheep in the rockies go for $50,000.

nice ram, It ain't no big horn I don't think..it looks like a corsican(?).....I'd say that a person could get on one of those for around 8 or 9 hundred bucks....

It is a corsican but I don't think they cost that much. I could be wrong.

It is a corsican but I don't think they cost that much. I could be wrong. When filming the recovery I about gagged when I saw a thumb sized limb that was stuck completely up his rectum and had been twisted severely!  I didnt say anything in front of the proud hunter but once I got the owner alone I found out that they had had this one in the barn too long and he was completely tame and wouldnt even run from them or leave their side for that matter! So I said you had to Rape him just to get him to run from you??? It wasnt pretty!!
Man... I would have been seriously tempted to pull that stick out return the favor. As if high fence hunting wasn't lame enough already...

It is a corsican but I don't think they cost that much. I could be wrong. No your right, you can kill one in Jamestown at a # of little fenced in places for about $400 I ran the camera for Handicapped hunter on one of these hunts there (wont mention the name) and it bout made me sick. We were put in a large slightly elevated box blind that was maybe 15 yards from the fence and just over a small hill. Every animal taken was 'you guessed it running down the fence from over the hill, where they were being released'. Several guys killed hogs and then we had to move to where the Rams live! LOL We waited for hours and I thought well maybe we will actually have to hunt for these, when after a commotion one finally comes trotting down the fence. Well we got the camera rolling and I videoed him making a decent shot that actually broke the ram down on the spot. When filming the recovery I about gagged when I saw a thumb sized limb that was stuck completely up his rectum and had been twisted severely!  I didnt say anything in front of the proud hunter but once I got the owner alone I found out that they had had this one in the barn too long and he was completely tame and wouldnt even run from them or leave their side for that matter! So I said you had to Rape him just to get him to run from you??? It wasnt pretty!! Sounds about right. The "lodges" here buy farmers old pet rams quite often that are already tame.
