Sorry guys I don’t have an unlimited permit, but have questions for you seriously hardcore DIY backcountry public land bighorn sheep hunters. 
1) how often does a ram have to drink water? I would like to know this from sheep experts - because I don’t know diddly.
2) how many female asses do you typically see during your scouting/hunting? I’m at 6 so far this year. Are unlimited units this good? I might start after the 7 year wait..

1: Sheep can go a long time without drinking water, and can get a lot of their water from forage and dew. Can't say I've ever actually seen a bighorn drinking from a water source.Sorry guys I don’t have an unlimited permit, but have questions for you seriously hardcore DIY backcountry public land bighorn sheep hunters.

2: I saw a number of female burros on a Utah sheep hunt once, but not 6.

1. Everything needs water but they don't need a lot. Hell, they can survive on licking rocks in the winter on a windblown ridge for 6 months at 11k feet.
2. Stillwater, Carbon, and Sweetgrass counties get some great activity during the summer months but they still don't hold a candle to the talent that Gallatin, Park and Madison counties have. Anything past November the ladies are non existent.
Hope this helps....

Unfortunately the doctor just informed me that I have developed bursitis in my knee from a mountain biking accident. I am devastated that I won't be able to hunt for the next few weeks at a minimum. Hoping I can carve out time if the quota stays open into October. Good luck everybody!

quite possibly the most interesting gas station/convenience store/sporting goods store I've ever been in. The always lock up the liquor when I show up at that place too. There is a pizza place down the road that is good too.
Has anyone stopped at the place down to the trailhead that had all the trump signs up last year? I think her name was Pat and she was just a bit testy!!!!! Food was actually really good too.

The roadkill cafe?

that is the place. Food was way better than expected. The next time I come out of the UL's that will be my first stop for a real meal.......and a beer.
I have been to the roadkill once. The prices, at least that day were astronomical, but the food was good. I think a cheesesteak and a beer or two was over $40. Maybe she charged me for letting me bring my dog inside. Today and tomorrow are big days for people heading in, so good luck!
I am flying off to Alaska tomorrow. I will be excited to hear about all of the happenings when I get back.

Ordered a brand new UTV clear back in June but it still hasn't come in so, once again, geeter and I have to take my poor old F-150 all the way down the Boulder River Road to the Boulder Pass trailhead. That always makes me nervous for some reason.

Last time I was in there, it was cash only. The ATM charged me something like $5 to withdraw $20. The beer was $7. After paying $12 for a beer, with a dollar tip on top, the thought of stopping has never again crossed my mind even tho I drive past it a few times per month all summer. This was 4 or 5 years ago when I last stopped, tho.
I always get tricked into stopping in Thirsty Turtle in Big Timber for chow. I’ve never had a good meal, always leaving disappointed, but somehow I haven’t learnt my lesson as yet.
Good luck to everyone heading in!
