    Freshman Class of 2023- who is in it?

    I'm not sure I'm technically still a freshman for 2023 because I went on my first sheep hunt in 2022 (but I'm still in the less than 1 club not to mention I still feel like a freshman). My son-in-law lives in AK and we took advantage of his residency. I've hunted a lot in the west and spent...

    Sold Zeiss RF 10 x 42

    Zeiss RF 10 x 42. These have never been in the field and are brand new. It's a long story but I actually ended up having two pair of these binos and I don't necessarily need an extra pair. The original pair has worked flawlessly and resulted in more dead critters than I can remember. I've...

    Full Curl or Not

    Thanks for sharing that illustration! I've been overly focused on the tip of the horn exceeding the base of the horn in a perfect circle - yadda yadda. But your post and this thread has helped me to look more closely at the angle of the tip in comparison to the angle of the bases. Both A and...

    Full Curl or Not

    That is exactly the mindset I'm battling. The gotta kill mindset combined with a hard-earned opportunity of an animal that you would be pleased is really dangerous for an inexperienced sheep hunter as myself. These types of discussions help me get in the correct headspace before the hunt.

    Full Curl or Not

    So I actually got the opportunity last week to put some boots on the ground to where I'm planning to hunt this fall. I needed to work through some of the logistics in getting there, not to mention hoping to see a few animals. The following is the same sheep with ok picture quality. This sheep...

    Full Curl or Not

    Thanks - I agree that it's not showing different criteria but showing the importance of angle. And yes, I have been overthinking it!

    Full Curl or Not

    I’m hoping to hear from those who have experience in judging dall sheep with respect to full curl or not. I’ve found myself getting somewhat frustrated on trying to decipher “full curl”. I’ve read and re-read ADFG’s 2018 full-curl guide, listened to Clay Lancaster, sheep seminar part 2, etc. I...

    Dall sheep Scouting ?

    I'm following this one. I'm not planning to hunt in the same area as the OP but I do plan to scout this summer in mid-July. From those who have experience with sheep, are you able to reasonably expect dall sheep to be in their summer range on the 1st of September? Obviously hunting pressure...

    Sold Garmin Inreach Explorer +

    Agreed - the one I'm selling is actually the second one that I own. I just purchased a mini and thought I would give that a try. I still have an additional explorer in case I don't like the mini.

    Best range finder binos?

    No disrespect to my senior brethren but slightly "lighter than boat anchors" seems to be a stretch - RF come in at 32.3 oz. while the new Leica 8 x 32 comes in at 30.7 w/o battery. However, the warranty for the Zeiss was really disappointing compared to what I've experienced with Swaro. The...

    Binocular Eyecups - In, Out, or Somewhere In-between?

    I'm not able to have a clear FOV and can never stay in the sweet spot when the cups are fully in. I wonder how much of our preference has to do with facial features?

    Idaho Spring Bear

    From one newbie to another - I haven't hunted unit 28 but I have hunted just north on the main fork and there is a high population of bears. As you probably know, that country is legit!

    Tent for Wrangells in August

    Your making me second guess my plan of sharing the Nallo. I've shared lots of tipi time with a hunting partner but never a small tent other than my kids or wife. I actually have the MSR NX2 and having my own space would be preferable. I would think that the MSR would hold up as well as some...

    Tent for Wrangells in August

    I'm curious on whether you've hunted in that area in September before or not? I'm currently making plans for hunting near that area in early September. On a side note - how many sheep hunters are actually sharing tents with another hunter? I like my own space but I like more having less in my...
