Extreme Airgun Hunting: Jacobs Four Horn Ram with Benjamin Rogue .357 Big Bore Air Rifle

Welcome to Team Wild's Airpower. The coolest air gun show on the web. Here at Team Wild we love our air guns, and we love pushing them to their limits. One of our favourite big bore air guns is the Benjamin Rogue .357 And I've been using that bad boy all over the globe, taking down some big game animals. A red hartebeest in South Africa, a texan feral hog and even a rampaging armadillo that was terrorising Texas, have all fallen to this air power behemoth. If you haven't seen those videos yet, click on the links. This week I'm back in Texas, once again helping out with a management hunt on a ranch. They've got a gnarl old Jacobs four horned ram, that's well past its breeding age and causing problems to the other sheep in the herd. He's fighting, head butting and causing all manner of mischief. And generally being a nuisance to the others in the herd. So it's time for him to go. We head out through the brush and towards the usual feeding ground of the herd of sheep. It's a warm texan day, so the sheep won't be moving too far away from their usual patch. As they are still wearing a fairly thick coat. We get near to the herd and there is a beautiful mix of texas dall sheep and muflong cross rams. And a few Jacobs four horns. We can see the younger ones are in much better condition than the old gnarly ones. We move in closer to check out one of the rams. But it's not our guy. Our boy is old with a slightly broken horn and a thick gnarly dreadlock coat. We move around the herd to find another beautiful ram. But again, it's not our guy. As the herd are spread through this patch of trees, there is plenty of cover to move around undetected. But we still have to be careful we aren't spotted. Then something spooks them and they all trot off. The herd begins milling around nervously, not too far away from us. Then we spot our ram, causing trouble. He runs along side another sheep and tries to butt him. He's a gnarly old boy, but he's also big trouble. As the herd all run along I try and set my sights on the ram. But moving through the trees it's not an easy shot, so I hold fire. A little patience will be rewarded and a shot will eventually come. I move in closer but our ram is moving amongst the other sheep and behind the trees. I need him away from the others for a clear and safe shot. I move again. The small break off group from the herd of rams he's been moving have stop. But he's circling another sheep. The small group moves on again, and I move with them. As they slow and then stop, I move into position behind a tree. Our ram has stopped broadside and away from the others. This is my chance. I take aim. Pick my spot. But a twig breaks under my knee, and they're off again. I reposition and keep my eyes on him. He hasn't gone far when he begins to slow. I make a dash down the treeline after our ram. He stopped just behind a fallen tree, but I've got a clear shot. I get into position once more, and take my shot. A great shot from the Rogue takes him straight down. He's definitely not getting back up from that one. I head in to take a closer look at our gnarly old ram. Another management job executed perfectly by Team Wild, and another phenomenal takedown from the Benjamin Rogue .357 So a beautiful ram. Now as you can see, I can't exactly see where the entry wound is but there is plenty of blood. He's bled out from the lungs, it's quite shiney so... you'd have to say it was probably a double lung shot but we'll see when we open him up, plenty of blood round the mouth so. What a beautiful four horned ram. Good sized horns at the bottom there. One's been broomed off at the top, obviously from where he's been feeding or rutting there. You saw him when he was in with the herd there, trying to rut those other texas dall sheep... and muflong crossed rams. In fact he looks a little like a bad boy because there is a load of scarring around his face. But what an incredible animal. And look at the size and thickness of this coat. Now that has got to be... two and a half inches potentially, of absolute solid, near bulletproof armour. But The Benjamin Rogue .357, as you saw, cut straight through it. Once again we'll have to have a look, when we open him up, as to exactly where it hit. But I'm pretty sure we've made a decent job of it. So boys and girls, mutton is back on the menu tonight.
