Joel took a 7-year-old ram from the Deschutes River can- air, the rapid would have caused the Santos brothers to flip over. They stopped to patch the raft, using a propane torch to heat the patching glue. "By then, we weren't caring about sheep," he said.

On the second day, they had been delayed because the raft punc tured going over a rapid on the shallow river just 20 miles into the journey. "The water was only about a foot deep," Joel Santos said. He said riding the deflated raft helped because, had it had , available to them. They spotted the biggest of the three high above the river. They were on the bottom of a canyon, and the sheep were at the top. "I ranged it about 500 yards, and I thought it was too far," Joel Santos said. Albert Santos, using a 7MM Ultramag, took a shot anyway and hit the ram on the shoul der. Two more shots brought the animal down. Joel Santos said the brothers had seen 12 rams on their foray. The Santos brothers rowed to their takeout at Cottonwood, 40 miles from the mouth of the Columbia.
