    Colorado Bighorn Sheep 2023

    Some take aways. 1) if you ever actually plan on drawing a tag you better stay in shape until you do. There is no way 3 months will get you where you need to be physically. At least not where I hunted. 2) finding/seeing sheep is hard. If you can find an experienced sheep hunter to go with...

    Colorado Bighorn Sheep 2023

    With a shoe breakage so close to the season a new pair had to be found. Ended up with Zamberlan 980 outfitter gtx rr They performed wonderful and didn't really require any break in. Hurt the bank account lol

    Colorado bear ear tag colors

    Yellow means the have been relocated. If I remember correctly. I've had a few with yellow tags roaming our property. Pretty sure that's what cpw told me

    Colorado Bighorn Sheep 2023

    I have tons of pictures and memories I could post but I was never within 300 yards again. I take that back the last day of my week long trip I just decided to give them the ol hikers walk of going straight towards them. 90 yards was as close as I could get. On the last day of the season we...

    Colorado Bighorn Sheep 2023

    We reload on water and head up to the peak again to see if we can locate the rams. They are back in the same spot only there are 9 instead of 15. 4 half curls but legal and the rest shooters in my book. They bed down in some rocks below us. I think I can get to a rock 100-150 yards above...

    Colorado Bighorn Sheep 2023

    We roll into the tents about midnight and agree no alarms. As I'm laying there I here some scurrying around the tent but must doze off before dealing with it. I'm awaken to a rustling just above my head...head lamp goes on, tent lamp on and I catch a glimpse of the dreaded sucker run by...

    Colorado Bighorn Sheep 2023

    We switched to other drainage after a while and immediately spot 15 rams coming up it. They start feeding and milling around so we start making a plan for a stalk. They eventually bed on the side of hill in a pretty good spot. I start making way down and not 50 yards into I spot a ewe then...

    Saturday July 29th I make my way back to see if the rams are still in the same spot. I find 7 in the first drainage but it's getting late and just assume the rest are in there somewhere. On Sunday I hiked over to where we had saw the 10 with the mucho grande but did not see anything.

    Colorado Bighorn Sheep 2023

    Well after that sheep sightings were very sparse the next 4 weeks a few ewes here and there and 0 rams. I was in a very depressed state but had been in some awesome places. Anyone ever had a couple guys jump off the mountain in front of them? Cannonnnnballlll.... I tried out different...

    Colorado Bighorn Sheep 2023

    Up to this point I'm feeling pretty good. I haven't spotted any for sure shooter sheep but why would things change. Week 3 I decide to hike a little farther into the next drainage. I watch 1 lone ewe for a couple hours expecting her to join up with some others but she did not. She probably...

    Colorado Bighorn Sheep 2023

    June 11th I headed back towards where I was the night before to find 7 rams feeding about 100 yards from where I had been glassing. I watched them until about 9 when they bedded just inside the trees. I made a move to get closer but they weren't there when I got there. Glassed for a few more...

    Colorado Bighorn Sheep 2023

    June 10th and 11th was my next trip. Hiking still sucked but the views were better. I got to my glassing spot and picked up elk on the skyline and a little later some sheep down lower on the mountain. 11 ewes and about 500 yards away from them were 5 rams I watched them til dark and...

    Colorado Bighorn Sheep 2023

    I woke up to the tire still holding some air so I topped it off and figured I would try to make it up near where I saw the rams the night before. Hiking in the trees was a miserable experience. Just before treeline it got to its worst...this was taken before I was waist deep contemplating...

    Colorado Bighorn Sheep 2023

    Well long story short I did not kill a sheep on my hunt but if you want to follow along with my adventure I'll try to write up a very eloquent tale I chose unit S32 for the number of sheep and tags available and archery well just to increase my odds by that little bit. It paid off with 11 total...
