Thanks for following along. We just got off the mountain this afternoon and are on the road. This forum doesn't work well with my Android so it's a bit of a process between devices. I'll spit this story out at an agonizingly slow pace as we continue the drive east.
We got to the trailhead late Sunday night, with a planned two day purgatory in order to give our bodies some more time to recover and prepare for the high altitude we had coming. Our friend, Howard, came down from Nebraska and went up mountain on Monday to survey the sheep zones scouted in July.
I noted a couple of specific Rams to look for, including the #1 hit lister that was identified by heavy, heavy horns and and double broomed tips that came to about mid eye socket. This was the first sheep I spotted on the scout trip and it didn't seem like anything else matched his impressiveness. He is the Ram from pictures 2 and 4 from my prior post. I watched him for 3 straight days on the July trip and got a pretty good understanding of where he liked to hang out at various parts of the day and hoped Howard would find him.
