Spent the last 48 hours way up on the mountain trying to locate rams. On 9/10 I dropped my Mom off at Reno in the morning, she was here visiting her great grandkids, and headed for the hills. I went up a nasty creek for a 30 mile ATV ride to access some of the higher country in hopes of finding...
It’s hard not to be jealous, both of killing a great ram and having the resources to get a gov tag. I am not afraid to admit I am. But like you said that money goes toward the sheep and other wildlife so I think it is a great thing. I am in the middle of my own sheep hunt but having a hell of a...
I have had many but most have been in some shit hole across the pond. But I also had a night very similar to yours. For me they have helped make the total experience and provided a bit of bragging rights. Then I read a book about the frozen Chosin or Alaskas Wolf Man and I realize it could be a...
Quick update: I came off the mountains yesterday for a couple days to rest and spend time with the family. I will head out Sunday morning for the final 3 days of segment one for this adventure. Then it is off to AZ to hunt elk for 2 weeks before returning to hunt sheep.
I decided to spend a...
Update. Have not seen many sheep but the time on the mountain and in camp with my daughter and son has been amazing. I found a nice spot to set up camp and had 3 days to scout before they joined. While scouting I was only able to turn up 2 small rams in a big drainage. Opening morning found us...
Friday, August 25th. One week from today is opening day and I am ready to depart early Sunday morning. I have been through the gear and checklists several times and am ready to go. Pretty exciting trip coming up and I get to celebrate my grandson’s 4th birthday on my way out in Fallon. It’s the...
Thanks for the link. I read the article and it will help. But the challenge I am having is the unit I have drawn doesn’t have really big rams so all those indicators have to downsized. I have reviewed the last 3 years harvest data and think a top end ram in the unit is 150-160. I just need to...
Looks huge to me. I took this pic in northern NM and thought this guy was a brute. Since then have been told he won’t score well because his length is likely a lot less than you think because horns come off head flat and curls aren’t very deep. He was cool to watch pushing around the younger...
Yes, Trailheads on the east side but there are also roads all the way around the peak that lead into several of the drainages. No shortage of roads in that unit and with a side by side you should be able to go just about anywhere. We actually stayed in a VRBO in Williams which is where most of...
When I was there a couple years ago on a late hunt FR 171 was in great shape. It’s an improved gravel road and anywhere along it from north of Flag to South of Pumpkin Center there were a lot of good camp sites. Good luck

Amazing and well deserved adventure. I am so happy for you and congrats on a great ram. Great seeing the face of the guide again. I sure enjoyed my time with him. I thought my Dall would be my only sheep tag but now I have another. You too will draw I just know it.
Congrats.

Great story and shot video. Sounds like an a amazing experience and congrats on a great ram. Did seeing other hunters add any anxiety to the hunt or was it expected?
