Rick,
Not sure if you've looked at it, and wont provide a 'perfect' picture of thinhorn vs bighorn harvest, but the Thinhorn mgmt 'draft' was recently posted. Shows license sales of Mountain sheep (bighorn/thinhorn) and harvest numbers for thinhorns for non-residents and residents each year...
The change in 2018 is a result of when the sentencing for the offense in Canada changed, so there are different circumstances if you were convicted before then or after the change.
As well, having a single offense or multiples changes things wait periods until you can come in without having to...
Luck to have shot 2 as a resident of BC in the past 10 years. Amazing critters to hunt and easily some of the nicest country to hunt that I've ever spent any time in.
I shot one ram in Reg 6 (west cassiar hwy) and one in Reg 7 (Rockies/Muskwa). Both are really nice dark rams. The Muskwa ram...
It takes about 20-25 minutes, and the buck at one point heads over a ridge at 1000 yards to chase off a smaller buck. He then slowly starts his slow march back to his herd.
At 200 yards, a sage bush is blocking him and he hasn't been broadside while walking back. He beds down and we wait...
We watch thus buck at 240 yards from the truck, and actually contemplate him a bit, due to his look and height. I ask my wife what she thinks on day 2 at 11 am and she considers him as we snap pics.
We run a few numbers to try and get an idea of how this short stumpy buck would score. I...
It rained quite a bit through the night, so we slept in on day 2. I know what the roads can get like and we had 5 full days planned to hunt so weren't in a rush to get out.
We tooled down a new road for about 10-15 miles and didn't turn up any antelope. A new spot that we wanted to check out...
We ran into one hunter that first day, and saw 2 camps in the unit. I stopped to chat with the one hunter and he wasn't out looking for antelope so we got to talking about the unit a bit. He gave us a few good tips on places to check which was great!
He also showed me a few pics of a really...
Just on our drive back from Wyoming and wanted to share some pics of our hunt. Through the years this site as well as a few others like MM and Rokslide have been great at connecting with guys and being able to ask some questions while planning a hunt.
Wife ended up burning 15 points this year...
Hey all!
Wife and I are headed down to Rock Springs to hunt antelope in unit 58. If we tag out early, I thought the idea of a fly fish (guided float likely) was a good idea.
Have heard good things about the tail water below Fontenelle. Wondering if anyone has any comments about fishing...
First year that I'm going to buy a bonus point in MT for antelope.
Can you buy one for 900 archery as well as a basic antelope point, or just one or the other?
