I was lucky enough this year to draw an ewe RMBS tag with just one preference point. And thankfully I was able to have a successful time this past weekend.
Just a few minutes after pulling up to my camping spot I was able to spot about 20+ sheep feeding in a small basin. CAF4B56F-AA0F-499B-A3CC-AA867C157833.jpegCDFA1B20-275E-4B02-BD84-303B50BE0A83.jpeg

So later that afternoon I hiked mountain. Boy, do I need to get in shape.LOL. I wasn’t able to get close up to the sheep due to them being about 450 yds over a small knoll. And with a storm rolling in I had to start making my way back down. But the views were just amazing up there. 586FD4FC-331D-4F97-AAF7-69B03EBB4DC8.jpeg6A11D156-990E-490D-9CCF-7824C2CF29B0.jpeg

I was also able to spot two decent bulls at the top of this mountain. Although you can’t really seem them in the cell phone pic. FAF8BCA8-FBE7-4940-917E-26252733B3E1.jpeg

Later that night about 40+ sheep emerged in to the basin again and fed all night. E0D26E0F-6BE3-4F8A-ABED-A4DA674332F8.jpeg

They were still there in the morning so I hiked back up again, But they had went to bed in some really steep terrain.

Overall it was a really good trip. And September can’t get here soon enough.

That's beautiful country, thanks for sharing. Hopefully they'll still be where you left them in a few weeks...
 
Hey, I know that spot. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, but you seem to be well on the way already.
