Title: Sheep Scouting this weekend w/pics
Post by: kadbow on July 15, 2012, 06:27:00 PM
Me and Colotrad did some scouting for bighorns this weekend.  It was a great trip.  We saw 400+ elk, a handful of deer, about a dozen antelope, 2 bull moose, 22 rams, 14 ewes/lambs and a lot of nice country.

I envy you.

My hunts are made if I just see a sheep or goat. I took a goat many years ago in North Western BC and when I elk hunt in Colorado I make a few trips where there are goats and sheep just in the hopes of seeing one.

I guess you have a tag this year. I hope you score and I can't wait for this story and pictures.

Good luck
Gil

Nice country.
Is there an age/curl restriction for rams in the unit you are hunting?

I have a ewe tag, had the ram tag last year and didn't fill it.  Steve/Colotrad has a ram tag this year.  It is a half curl minimum for a ram.  It is looking more promising this year.  Last year I only saw 7 rams through all of my scouting and hunting.

I found out I drew a ewe tag myself last week but I know where to go. Good luck with your hunt.

Right on. We only have 6 ewe tags for the entire province, so i'm always counting rings or bisecting lines...

Good luck!

Archie-We could give you those coordinates, but you might find yourself in Siberia if you try to pinpoint that location.   :bigsmyl:
