There were many, many times i fore saw me in those mountains the last week of October with my tag in my pocket. That would have been okay. But it’s nice to have some sheep meat in the freezer
Now the most important part. The thanks to everyone that helped. CCC23454 from Hunttalk gave me information that I used to focus on two certain areas. It assisted me in staying away from the more heavily hunted areas. In fact, I saw only one other sheep hunter in 17 days of scouting and...
We analyzed our situation. We had a 7 plus (possibly 9) year old ram in a decent spot. The hunt had been difficult and ending it with a long shot was not how I wanted to finish it. If we decided to pursue him it would be the difficult way, getting deep inside his bubble. Doing that would be...
so much more great country had opened up as we hiked in. I was real anxious to start glassing but my partner told me we need to stick to the plan and keep going. Finally we made it to a spot that afforded us a good look at the small basin the rams entered the day before. Within seconds we...
On day 2 I tried to relocate the 13 rams and of course they were gone. In the middle of another long glassing session I found two young rams only 3.5 miles away. (First pic) Not shooters but at least closer. The way they were acting I felt there were more rams with them. I decided to wait...
An update. I headed over for the opener. The windy opener. My goals remained the same for the hunt. Get anyone that helps home safely and a ram of 7 years or more. As I was approaching Yellowstone for the 5th or 6th time in 3 months I realized my excitement entering the Park was much more...
Can you find my partner glassing in this picture? I walked around the corner and essentially could only see sun reflecting off his cheek. This is a picture that has been enlarged. In the original it would be almost impossible to find him. I think the new camo patterns have really come along way.
Scouting is done. The roads are rougher and the mountains steeper than I tHought. my ability to find sheep is worse than I thought. Not a good recipe for filling a sheep tag. 😂😂😂It’s been a blast. This last trip we found some sheep but no rams. I cannot locate the ram groups I found in June...
