Very well said, I have a really hard time keeping my mouth shut when someone posts a pic and says he's not the biggest but will sure eat good. I keep telling friends you will never kill a Big One if you keep shooting the little ones.. Mt. should go to 4point or better and watch the age class go...
Go back to that basin but watch any finger draws or patches of timber, a mature buck will come in and take a hot doe away by himself. This happened to us all the time up in the breaks. Very seldom saw a "Big" buck hanging out witha group of does. Always by himself holed up with a hot one. Have...
Hey Seth, I see you had some luck in this years draw. How's things going? Send me all the details, as I just had my other hip done and can only enjoy the season thru others. Good luck!! Clint
Spend as much time as you can during the week.. Can get awful lonely in there during archery season. Talk to every one you run into, especially sheep hunters, they are a great resource and are open to sharing info. I have had both elk and sheep tags in there so feel free to pm me any questions...
I had a bull tag there about 8yrs ago, spent 26 days and saw a total of 9 elk that were not on private property. Was very fortunate to find a small bunch the first part of november that had just come off private. They were a total of 3 miles off the road and had to zig-zag around private to...
I shot my ram on Nov 6, at that time the biologist said there was only one other tag and the governors tag unfilled. Most everybody, myself included, missed the greatest show on dirt. Really tough to hold out that long hoping the weather holds. I spent 26 nights over 3 months, in a camper solo...
If they got 2" of rain it will take 2 or 3 days for it to dry out.. There is a couple of spots to camp and a place to launch your boat but you might be disturbing sheep hunts on the south side..If you camp up top and run the river you risk not being able to make it to camp if it rains, that hill...
You hear stories about the guy who spent 15 minutes hunting and shot his sheep just off the road, at one point I asked why couldn't that be me? I am really glad it wasn't, I was actually able to glass, stalk, and glass some more, get frustrated, go home and still come back for more. At times I...
Thurs Nov 5 would have been my dads 80th birthday, it found me stalking a ram that looked promising. I was able to get to within 150yds, but he was bedded on a steep knob that went straight down for another 200yds. I turned around and hiked back to the truck. As I was driving down the ferry rd...
When you draw one of these once-in-a-lifetime tags your first emotion is extreme happiness then the reality sets in. There is an extreme amount of pressure that goes with it, the what ifs.. What if I don't get one, what if I shoot one too small, what if I get weathered out. I did not tell a...
