How do you know where to camp? So few spots to set up...

Looks like an awesome hunt, regardless of outcome. What rifle are you shooting? Are friends going with you or by yourself?

All the best to you on the sheep hunt Oak! Who says you have to travel to Alaska to find that much tundra. I was expecting a photo of a caribou!
I'm shooting a .300 Wby built by Kevin Weaver. I'll have a couple of guys with me the first two days.
Made another scouting trip August 7-9. No shortage of critters. Sorry, most critter photos were taken through a spotter, or by other unprofessional means....

You don't happen to have a deer tag do you?
Got back from another 3 day trip last night.
Winter is never far away up here.
Don't let me choose the tent pitching spot...
Wasn't a bad view the next morning, though.
Fat and lazy...
I wish these next two had not been miles away. A couple of studs.

Good luck on your hunt. Have really good rain gear. I drew a non resident tag in 1995. After two days it rained more or less constantly, in the San Juan's above Pagosa.I was fortunate enough to to take a 156 ram. I was not a "beloved" person when I checked the ram in Durango. Most of the hunters in the office had the f**king non resident viewpoint. One was O.K. and congratulated me. O well. Keep on applying at home and out of state, despite point creep I drew this tag in 10years. I hesitate to say that I have also drawn a desert sheep tag (R) and an rocky mtn tag in AZ (R) so it can happen!!! GJ

Love the pics. I'm tentatively helping a fellow west sloper in S1/18 with a ram hunt the opening week. I can't wait. I can only imagine how excited you folks that are holding the tags must be.
Thanks for sharing the pics.

Great pics, hope your hunt is awesome!
I did 14 miles Wednesday and Thursday. It rained/snowed a total of 7.75 hours those two days.
Have to say that would be pretty unusual 2+ decades later. Most hunters here these days are pretty excited about the success of sheep hunters, regardless of residency. Sorry about your experience, and congrats on the ram.

Beautiful country
I've been out for 4 more days of scouting since the last update. Crunch time is almost here. I'm leaving Saturday and the season starts next Tuesday. Hopefully there are some sheep photos in the next update.
