The rams are starting to show up with the ewes. Two weeks from tomorrow I'll have a gun in my hand!

I remember the thread about your wife's hunt. Congrats on beating the odds and thanks for sharing these awesome photos. BTW, I liked the Ranger promo shot, you need to send that one into Ford.

They're rutting already. We watched a ram commit a #ewetoo three times yesterday

A few more from today. We'll be back a few days before the season for some more scouting. It's been a great time so far!

Sheep vary their rut quite a bit, I've heard August in some southern desert areas to december in some northern plains areas. Thanks for the info!

You're correct. In Utah there are two main rut periods depending on whether they're the Utah strain or Nevada strain sheep. My unit has sheep rutting right now, my wife's unit didn't rut until late October.

Here's another one for you... that little truck is an absolute beast in the mountains. The Trail Control is unreal!

The first ram in post #29 is a potential shooter if we can find him again. We initially found him bedded in the shade with his ewes a long way away. You can see the curl of his horn if you zoom in the center of the shade here



A week from tomorrow and we'll be heading south
