Excellent story, thanks for sharing, it takes me back. I did a sheep hunt in there in 2005, upriver of where you guys were. Even with horses and one of the best guides in there it took two trips and 14 total days to find rams, connect, and pack out. My sheep guide had to go on to another hunt...
My best Wyoming and Idaho mule deer (2011 and 2007), and my best Montana whitetail (2012). The Idaho buck was a double drop tine but both were busted off at the main beam.
