Sheep Hunt w/pics

[FerretWYO]

Pulling for you my friend. The one time that I went sheep hunting we had a pretty hard time getting in the rams as well. But you will find them and the peices will fall together.

Good luck.

I am deeply moved by your story and pictures.

Thank you so much for sharing a hunt that folks like me will never get a chance at.

I appreciate it so very much!!

God bless,Mudd

There is nothing better than sheep country and sheep hunting.

Three pieces of equipment that I have been extremely pleased with on this hunt are the Eberlestock X2 pack, my Assolo Sasslong boots (very comfortable and good support) and my Vortex Viper 10x42 binocs.  The X2 seems to be the perfect size as you do need to carry a good range of gear to survive if needed.  Temps were ranging to below freezing in the mornings (yes there was frost on Aug 6) to the 80s at lower elev and afternoons.  Below freezing with 35-40 mph winds above timberline is chilly.  The sun is also very intense at high altitude.  I didn't put sunscreen on my hands the first few days and with the exposure they got glassing I ended up getting blisters from sunburn.  It is very different hunting than deer or elk hunting.

hunt hard mate. looks like great scenery.

forgive my ignorance but can non residents get over the counter sheep tags in colorado? or is there a ballot that non residents can enter?

it would be great to hunt sheep oneday.

best of luck!

Mark-Great pics, keep up the faith, at least you're out amongst them!  Good luck on your next hunt!

Clint-You have to put into the draw in Colorado, resident or non-resident.  There are archery only hunts though, which improve your odds a little.  I think the only state that has over the counter sheep tags is Montana and these units have very few sheep, but there are a few around.

This working stuff is killing me, only a couple more days until I get out again.

Mark, nothing will ever take the place of persistence!  I can't think of anything better than taking your ram on the LAST day of the season...you get precious few days of life to be sheep hunting and I made sure to enjoy EVERY one; ram or no ram.  I think the deer season started the weekend before my S12 tag ran out, but I did not find that to be an issue.  Not sure how it comes in for you, but keep at and keep positive.

Pullin' for you

Been waiting for this Mark - Appreciate all the pictures.  Really pulling for you on this one, and hope you get into some heavy sheep action on your next outing.  

Some absolute gorgous country you were in, and again thanks for taking us along.  Best of luck when you get back at it!

Steve, I am a little jealous you got to tag along.....Good on ya for giving lots of support!
