    Where's your moose tag? Regardless, it sounds like a fine way to spend a Fall. Best of luck GW.

    Moose work

    I killed my Wyoming moose in the middle of a pretty serious quakie downfall. We were only a mile from a road but it was a two day pack for two of us. That was 30 years ago. Now days it might be a weeks pack for me and my old friend. Great memories!

    My First Sheep Hunt - NV Desert Bighorn

    Very cool pictures. I haven't been on an easy sheep hunt and getting in shape was a big part of success for me. Keep us posted.

    My First Sheep Hunt - NV Desert Bighorn

    I love the update es. I hope you keep posting your progress and I'm confident you are in for a real adventure. I've been on lots of no sightings desert sheep scouting trips so don't get discouraged. If you look long and hard enough you will eventually find them, but this time of year is hard...

    Yep, I saw H1000 for sale online yesterday. Hopefully that's a good sign.

    I think you Big Sky residents have an in with powder people. Nothing like that at my local Scheels!

    Hammer HHT Bullets

    Mine's a 24" 1:8 barrel and I was also using RL 16 to get those speeds. It also really likes the 124g HH with RL 23 and 26, but at much slower velocity. It's kinda my favorite rifle right now.

    Hammer HHT Bullets

    I shot some 118 HHT's out of my 6.5X284 yesterday. I got them screaming at 3400 fps and shot a .30 MOA group. But with a little heavy bolt lift I will definitely tone it down for lots of reasons.

    My First Sheep Hunt - NV Desert Bighorn

    I don't know how I missed this post, but I too offer congratulations to you eshunt. I've been applying in NV for two decades and hope some day to draw before I die. Some years back I helped a friend on a NV Desert Sheep unit with a military base in it and back then it required you to attend an...

    WY unit 72

    Many years ago, I hunted unit 70 with my son. It bordered 72 back then and we saw some nice bucks on the south end of 72. We did not see any hunters in that area, but as I said, it was many years ago. My advice would be to try to get away from the crowd. Any more, if I have an antelope tag I...

    2023 Wyoming Unit 5 Sheep tag

    A spotter is almost as essential as your rifle for your hunt but my guess is right now, you won't be seeing sheep where you will be hunting them. I'd get it sent off ASAP and maybe borrow one until you can get it back. I use a pair of 15x56 binos on a tripod for most of my sheep spotting, and...

    2023 Wyoming Unit 5 Sheep tag

    Well, I've always been told that bear spray works better than a rifle anyway, but thankfully, I've never had to test that theory.

    2023 Wyoming Unit 5 Sheep tag

    Great start poormanslam. Awesome pictures. Most serious wilderness hunters/fishermen have learned to deal with bears. Obviously a clean camp-food in a tree away from camp, etc. are necessary. You will also have a rifle for protection when you are hunting. I'm not too afraid of bears, but...

    Desert Bighorn Sheep- an Endangered Species?

    One would be endangered if I had a tag!

    2023 Wyoming Unit 5 Sheep tag

    Being retired and having time on your hands definitely tips the scale of success in your direction. The "old" part, not so much. (I know from experience) I hunted unit 4 almost 20 years ago and my guide pointed to a spot in unit 5 where rams wandered out of the wilderness later in the season...

    Alliant Powder availability

    Those look like 8lbers but maybe I'm mistaken.

    Alliant Powder availability

    What Scheels? Where located? My local Scheels has 19 but that's it. I'd snag some 23 if I could get my hands on it.
