Dos is right. Lots of sky-blasting from neighboring hunters. With all the rains, it could be interesting what vegetation is available, as stated. Not to mention, there are a lot of other areas that may hold a lot of water and pull some birds away. Last time I was there, I was on the firing line...
If you can go on short notice, Mike has a cancellation hunt. Not going to find a cheaper option than this offer.
This is for the Sawyer Ranch. Information for the hunt is below:
Cancellation Aoudad Hunt for 2
Self Guided DIY Hunt
$1995 Per Hunter for 5 days
The hunt can be done between...
Inch higher, deader than hell. Inch back, deader than hell. 10 yard shot with a 2” Hypodermic. Thank God for the 70 yard stop and look back for a follow-up shot. Minimal penetration and a little nick of 1 lung is all the first hole did on him. As he stood there, I could see the red spot but no...
If you are unsuccessful scouting and decide to go the guided route, Sangre De Cristo Outfitters has a very good guide in S9. I realize you want to go DIY but if you ultimately decide this is probably your only shot at a rifle ram in CO and want to go guided, they'll get you a shot at a ram.
I had no idea the Haint call was in such demand. Picked one up 3 years ago on clearance at Dick's Sporting Goods. Glad I got one. I may sell it now, as I don't value it THAT much.
Dewey's stuff looks incredible!
Brush Country Studios outside of Houston is doing the new World Record Archery BH, if that tells you anything. They had an Alberta BH at Sheep Show a few years back that was exceptional taxidermy. It's within a day's drive for you, so very feasible.
They did our...
I know Colby Gines guides in Unit 3. I'd definitely consider giving him a call if you were wanting to go guided. You may need to with some of that unit being a wilderness area.
Vortex is great glass for the money. A friend of ours who does 1,000 yard competitive shooting and owns a bullet company used to be a NightForce guy. His NFs kept moving on him and he's completely made the switch to Vortex scopes. The company continues to grow and improve and their customer...
Looks like someone on another site found another link to coordinates. Save these PDFs ASAP, just in case the link gets taken down (won't surprise me).

602 yards, prone. Wasn't what we wanted but that was what the situation dictated versus our other option of putting on the whites and exposing ourselves. I practiced distance all summer, so my guide let me take the shot. You owe it to the animal go get as close as possible but sometimes a long...
Remember 2007-2008? I work in commodities and a good friend is 30+ years older than me and gave me some of the best advice I've ever heard. His advice to me, "When things are good, pay your s**t off! You don't need a nicer car, you don't need a bigger house, and if you have some extra money in...
If you lived in CO and were willing to do archery, there are some good archery units a guy could draw. You'd have to practice your butt off and I would recommend getting a guide. I know of a group in a decent unit that will get you a shot at a ram. That's probably your best chance in the Lower...
One way you are guaranteed to hunt sheep, the other way you are not.
I would tell you to go hunt it. Plenty of people come to my home state and hunt deer every year and spend more than $1250. Practice your long range shooting and commit yourself to do this for the next 10 years until you tag a...
