I've always wanted to see the "Breaks". Having a ewe tag is great motivation to do so.
Great report. Please keep us updated.

If I am hunting with a rifle, I never pack anything other than my rifle. It's usually in my hands or on my shoulder so it's plenty easy to use if needed. I've never been much worried about bears, unless I'm in timber in Grizzly country where I might surprise them. Most bears, especially...
I took my family out scouting for my Wyoming moose hunt 30 years ago. To this day my daughter says that was her favorite family vacation. Trumping Disneyland and Disney World!
