2023 Wyoming Unit 5 Sheep tag

[poormanslam]

I drew Unit 5 Wyoming sheep tag. I will scout quite a bit but could use any info anyone might be willing to give. I will not have access to the Wilderness or horses. I know, I know, I’m a fool. Get past that and if you can help I appreciate it.

Welcome to hunttalk.

On a serious note, rams can certainly be had outside the wilderness. Consider hunting later in the season.

Welcome to hunttalk.

I’ve been here longer than you.

I would make a friend in WY that wants to go sheep hunting with you in the wilderness, maybe an elk/sheep combo type hunt.

I'm no use. Good luck! Hope you kill a ram.

I'll be crossing my fingers for you. I hope you have a great sheep hunt.

Congrats on the tag!

I didn’t realize the MSG drawing was this early. No goat tag for me.

If he only waited one more year...

Congratulations poormanslam.
There is nothing better than having a sheep tag in your pocket and it's always an adventure.
That said, I know a NR from last year who tried DIY and never saw a mature ram outside the wilderness. I think the bears also gave him a pretty good scare but it sounds like you are going in with both eyes open. I also know a guy who did get it done on his own, but it came down to the last week. No pressure, right?
Anyway, best of luck. We will be pulling for you.

TY. I know the odds are dramatically stacked against me but I was at a crossroads. Wy changed their tag allocations and waiting for an “easier” unit just didn’t seem to be a possibility. I decided having a sheep tag is better than not having one. I’m old and retired with time on my hands so I will put in a bunch of time and savor the adventure. It’s more than likely my last sheep hunt.

You dont need a guide or horses for 5, but you will need a pair of brass ones and to be in shape. Huge unit but not super rough, lots of good trails bisecting it. Long season to let you cover them. Elk would be tough due to the extra pounds of meat/trips required. A couple llamas or a strong yet dumb friend would certainly help. Gorgeous stuff in there, soak it in.

Good genetics and age if you are patient or lucky. Go early and stay late. Cover a lot of ground, if you are exhausted cover more.
