Yes I hate wounding game
He went about a half a mile and was 3 drainages from where I hit him. We found him by the birds. Saw them going in and out of the cut
So happy right now
Scoured all day today with 7 guys. Feel pretty good about the search in the realistic area he would be. Didn't come up with anything. Obviously it's a gut punch. Think I just canted my bow bad, didn't check my bubble caught up in the moment I'm thankful it was a close ethical shot and not a hail...
Didn't find the band of 7 but we did find back the 3 rams we saw on our way out last night. Put a great stalk up and around on top of them Snuck to the edge and had one right below me at 38 yards. I was about to draw and he saw something and we had a 60 sec staredown. Once he dropped his head I...
Found a band of 7 rams right away in the morning. 3 good rams and one being a shooter
Followed them around waiting for the right situation. Got to 94 yards first time
Second time got to 65 but trees blocking any shot opportunities
Tried to crawl to 50 in cover but one of the Rams must have...
What a day. The best hunting day of my life and I didn't fling any arrows.
Spotted a really good ram about 2000 yards away this morning. Put the hike on and got where we thought they were. Turns out we were 2 cuts off on the Rams when we stalked around the backside. Things look so diff on the...
Saw one ram cruising tonight but never got a good look. Didn't turn up the group from this morning. Smoke has cleared up so hopefully that stays the course for the morning. Had a fun encounter with this mulie buck
Super poor visibility this morning early. Couldn't even see 500 yards Mid morning found a young ram. Later in the nothing the smoke lifted and we were able to spot a good size group with one good one a long way off. Going to see how good he is tonight. It's in some nasty stuff so not likely to...
More of the same this evening. Lots of hiking and glassing. Turned up lots of coyote and mule deer buy no sheep. Back at it tomorrow. Loving every minute
I love DIY but for this tag I'm using a guide. Season runs from Sept 2 to Nov 26. I plan to hunt for the next week. If I don't tag then plan to come back at some point
Smoke really cutting down on the visibility making glassing tough
Saw fresh Ram sign in the form of tracks, crap and beds this morning but didn't turn up any sheep
Flew into Bozeman yesterday midday. Got into camp in the afternoon and flung a few arrows. Went out for a few hours to glass in the evening. Heavy smoke put a damper on the long distance views but we did find 2 young rams one being a stud 4yr old
