Hi everyone,

Going on my first stone sheep hunt in Northern BC this year. Have my flights booked and gear dialled in but I’m wondering about best locations to set up camp. I’ve only ever hunted deer and moose so the geography of this hunt is quite a bit different.

This isn’t where I’m going but the geography of the main drainage is similar. 57.7410667, -130.3673778

Would it be best to:

-Camp lower in the drainage near the creek but risk pushing through thick shrub brush and having low glassing capability from camp? Positive is not bumping sheep from this location?
-Camp further up the drainage near the scree and crags. Out of the shrub brush, still close to water, better glassing from camp, but potentially in view of sheep or close to their paths?
-Or camp on the plateaus in a sheltered area? Further from water, great glassing, still potentially near sheep paths and in their view.

I’m just wondering where everyone else sets up to avoid bumping sheep while being able to glass and stay somewhat sheltered from storms.

Thanks.
