Bighorn scouting (more pics added)

kadbow · July 10, 2011, 07:13:00 PM

Went up scouting this weekend, my season starts in less than a month. Saw 400+ elk, a few deer, a fox and zero sheep. This was my second time up and have yet to see a sheep. Take a look at a few pics, it is going to be a great hunt. That is Jimscol glassing.

A couple more.

Well, you sure have the right guy giving you a little glassing help. Have you looked at the BP's yet?

Love those Columbine's! There were tons of Indian Paintbrush out during my hunt.

I am still jealous of all you guys that drew sheep tags this year. What a great hunt that is. Looking forward to the sheep stories coming up from this in TBM

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Reminds me of my last years scouting trip for sheep, except I saw more griz than sheep and elk. Lots of darned old wolf sign as well.

Good luck on your hunt, sheep live in God's country. Take plenty of pics.

When does your season open there in CO?

Great pics Mark. Good luck!! You couldn't get Dean to help too

At least you got the better eyes helping you glass.

Jeff D. Holchin · July 11, 2011, 02:47:00 PM

Good luck, what beautiful country. Amazing that you will be hunting sheep in a month. Is that S-12? I find it interesting how high those elk go to hang out, sometimes looking DOWN on the sheep.

ron w · July 11, 2011, 02:54:00 PM

Beautiful....I'm going on my first Elk hunt opening week in Co., can't wait to hunt the high country.

GREASEMAN · July 11, 2011, 03:14:00 PM

TOTALLY AWESOME!
BRINGS BACK MANY MEMORIES OF MY TWO SHEEP HUNTS!

You have to love mountain hunting! Those kind of landscapes really make a man feel connected to the earth.
