    Colorado bighorn success

    You can’t trust all of them when they plug! Mine was called a full-curl but 4 years old—LOL!

    Sheep Success rates???

    I'm going to make a generalization here but a guy going after a Stone has played the sheep game before--with success. You probably aren't going to get the guy who is in over his head and "just wanted to hunt sheep" on this hunt. I'm sure the Alaskan guys like BRWNBR get their share of guys who...

    Sheep Success rates???

    JP100, that is a very poor success rate. I would not book a Stone with someone who had that kind of year. Granted, there are variables that dictate the success of a hunt, mainly weather, but that is a pretty low rate of success. Would you PM me the name, please? That's my next sheep and I have a...

    Montana Unlimited

    Easier said than done. On my Dall packout, we put many, many miles on that day--a lot were climbing miles. You know it's bad when your guide says, "If I didn't know we were an hour and fifteen minutes from camp right now, we'd lay down and sleep for a bit." Packing out in grizzly country in the...

    Wyoming Grizzly Hunt

    Where is everyone seeing their issuance number? I see the usual "unsuccessful" next to my name but no number. I applied for the units that required the full tag price upfront, if that has anything to do with it. Thanks in advance.

    The ram pictured would be very lucky to go over 150", in my opinion. Hard without seeing more angles but your target ram will be much better. You are going with the best guide/outfitter for the unit, so get your shooting dialed-in and get into even better shape. S9 is a butt-kicker/real sheep...

    I remember you now. Are you still booked with Sangre? Kent will get you on a better ram than that, especially with a rifle. Your target ram is going to be 170"+. 80% success rate last year in S9 with a rifle. Trust your guide, you have a good one! Did you get your Wild Sheep Foundation...

    What unit? If you are bowhunting, take the first 3/4 curl or better you see and be happy with the accomplishment. There are some units that I'd let that walk but there are some units that I would take that ram in the first hour of season. Go back and look at the harvest stats of your unit...

    Wool garments and sheep hunting

    I'd opt more for something with Primaloft. It's lighter and condenses for tighter, better packing. Like wool, it will preform when wet. I love wool but there's a reason these synthetics were invented.

    Passed on a Lion

    Boom. Where I hunt in NM, when a cat moves in, the elk vanish for 3-4 days. My father got one years ago guiding my sister on elk. It walked right to water in the late afternoon. They found a fresh deer kill on the way to where they were sitting that evening. Oh, and they didn't see any elk...

    Dall Sheep Referrals

    If I was bowhunting, I would go Canada. Mackenzie Mountain Outfitters has a solid reputation and I would speak with them. 2 hunters will be tough in Alaska. As most have said, Alaska can be a tough hunt, meaning you may struggle in some areas to find a legal ram. I would go to the Sheep Show...

    2017 Alaska Sheep/Griz hunt with Jeremy and BRWNBR

    Man, you kicked Alaska in the arse! Well done. I know how it goes with the extraction, if you can get it, take it. I had my Dall down and had other tags in my pocket--definitely could've had a Blackie in the salt too. However, after being socked-in for days on the front end and needing to...

    Sheep-Shape: Your definition

    The revolving stair-stepper at the gym is a great machine. It flat-out sucks. You will drip sweat within 15 minutes. Another good workout is going to a tall stadium with steps. When I lived in the flatland 5 years ago, I had a D1 stadium that I climbed stairs for an hour or so with a...

    Favorite Sheep Caliber

    You need to consider if a grizzly might be on the list. I used a .308 with 150 grain Accubonds that was set-up with turrets out to 600 yards for my Dall. I had everything ready to go with 200 grain Accubonds out to 300 yards with a few minor adjustments, if a grizzly opportunity presented...

    Colorado S9 Rifle Drawn!!!!

    Be sure to get current on your memberships with Ovis and FNAWS. I had a friend miss-out on an award because he wasn't current. Get this done, ASAP, as I'd hate to have you get a great ram and not be eligible for an award.

    Colorado S9 Rifle Drawn!!!!

    With Alberta hunts going for $35K+, very wise decision, lcneo2112. Kent is their guy in S9. Get in shape, as that unit is a "real sheep hunt." You'll pack-in, get fogged-in, sleep in a tent, and eat freeze dried meals. Some of the other units will allow a guy to stay in a bunk house or...

    Colorado S9 Rifle Drawn!!!!

    Sangre De Cristo Outfitters is a great option if you go the outfitter route. With it being a rifle tag, I have little doubt that they'll get you on a ram, so long as the weather is cooperative.
