I told my buddy on the night of the 4th day that I was sleeping in the following day. We had pushed hard, hiked in the nasty blizzard conditions, and overall just had a real hard day, so Day 5 was to be a bit of a 'camp day' where we could glass a few of the valleys around where we were camped...
Forgot to mention, on the morning of Day 4 when I crawled out of the tent and was shaking off the night's sleep I glanced up and noticed a goat above camp. A quick glass noted a nanny with a kid. They perched up on a rock ledge that day and ended up staying there the rest of the hunt. I'll...
What shocked me a bit was not seeing mountain goats in some of the crazy cliff/rocky stuff that I expected them in. I had figured that this valley should have several goats in it when I did my planning, but it was turning out not to be the case in the first 2 days. Day 3 we woke and packed...
We woke up the following day and decided we would hike further up the valley to explore and see what it looked like, before moving camp. Views were amazing, and we ended up spotting a pair of rams on a nice shale slope at the end of the valley. One ram looked to be about 6-7 years old, with a...
Well, figured I should post up a bit of a write up about my 2021 BC Stone's sheep trip. Got back on Sept 21st and finally have some time to sit down and write it over the next night shift or two.
Hunt planning went back to January of this year, when my friend from Alberta and I got talking...
I hunted 67, but its been 7 years ago now. Glad to share anything we learned though if you end up drawing there.
Wife is sitting on 14 and I'm sitting on 6 points. Cant use them again this year due to border closures, so will keep building unfortunately!!
I've hunted Northern AB a handful of times and got back up there last year for a fun hunt. Ended up shooting an OLD buck on day 6 of the hunt. I guided up north back in the early 2000's and it was amazing back then. Quality took a dip after some bad winters in 2012, but from what I saw this...
Congrats!!!! That's not a 4.5 year old ram, thats quite obvious by the annuli even. My wife has a 4.5 year old ram I'll post when I'm home from work if I think of it.
Just got back from Alberta this past week. Saw 5-8 bucks per day sitting dark till dark mostly along cutlines. Sat a really cool beaverpond for a few days in my climber as well.
I hunted this buck's scrape line (around 20 scrapes along a cutline edge) and although he isn't a high scoring...
