2 weeks from desert sheep opener.

[Deleted member 8-15-23]

Lost 21 lbs. Hiking in my canyon with 30lb. Pack. Meals are jetboil dehydrated. Coffee, oatmeal, lunch snacks, again dehydrated. So, after, 10 miles/day, hiking 8 miles@12k. And glassing for hours? I will walk off to 190 lbs. If I survive. 1 tag holder last year died on the hunt.

Whatever that means. Tuffest whites hunt in 13 years due to snow. Just listening to the bio peeps. They know.

Those sheep have to feel it in their marrow now that you are headed up. It's coming for them and you are bringing it.

So they. Are lower than 12.8? Does that Change. Everything?

Yes, we will start on the spine and if a mature ram is lower, we drop camp.

Well, only 6 guys can shoot at those rams. So we shall see. Not tagged out, I have a mulie bow tag 4 hours north then back to the desert tag. I will tag out.

 

[Deleted member 8-15-23]

Getting real now. Packed and ready. Just need to find a 6/10 yo ram.

After 50 years of hunting I learned all your big game hunting is worthless we hen in comes to sheep. Fantastic glasses for hours is the key. 1) a 3 yo ram can be legal.2) rangefinder in your scope not legal, 3) someone with u has to have a 15x scope to id a legal ram.

Hater, I can assure you my 67 year mod. 70, supergrade .270 with 130 copper can and will do this. I have a backup 6.5 prc but that's bs.

Drifts meam nothing. It's lots of water and feed everywhere. So the 400 sheep are spread out over 60 square miles. As I said, this will be a challenge.

It's supposed to be challenging, that's part of what makes sheep hunting such a unique experience that most will never get to do.

Yep, sure they are quivering for me. The 26 tagholders@the meeting were all on Medicare, 1 in a wheelchair. Yep, sheep all nervous about anyone who draws a desert tag. Lol.

Funny, rokslide has to love the clicks. Between the haters and guys who want to learn, I hesitate to post anything on this site.

I bet after you punch your tag on another trophy, there is a lot of wisdom you can share with the other hunters. I'd imagine your mentorship will be something indelible for them and really ice this OIL cake for you.

Don't quit on us, it takes folks of all sorts to make it happen.

I'm not hating on anything or anyone or any gun, just ragging fun like most of the people on this thread are actually doing and not hating.

I truly wish you success and hope that you have a hunt of a lifetime with this sheep hunt and it continues on into your mule deer hunt, and the rest of your hunting season you have lined up.

Rooting for you to kill a monster ram with that rifle, obviously it's a gun you hold dear to your heart and should if your dad gave it to you and you've had lots of amazing hunts with it. Killing a OIL ram would be the cherry on top for that old rifle.

Good luck to you, it's go time and sounds like you're ready.

I can't wait for some pictures from this hunt.

Will you have service up there to update us along the way or are we in for a week of no sleep at night?

Some of us didn’t get a tag at all so in order to keep our sanity we are living vicariously through those who did and especially rare tags such as yours. Also not only did you get a custom title but emojis added to it, that’s an honor so please keep us updated and best of luck on your hunt!

No, you are called ROAL Reaper

It means Ram Of A Lifetime killer.
