No die off is good news, thanks for the reply. Have a wonderful Holiday.
I packed one with camp out solo in one load. Head and meat 14 miles. Shot it in the afternoon, so I split the trip up in two days. I left the cape to shed some weight, but it was still a grind. My feet bottoms were swollen and bruised and my hips were bruised.Anyone have experience packing a bighorn solo? I have packed a few Dall's solo with camp in one trip. Curious on what the difference would be weight wise.
Sure. Golden Rule. The one with the gold makes the rules. Might take a lot of gold lol.Can I hire a helicopter to pack me to the top ?
I can say I won't tell you what unit I hunt or where I have seen sheep. I still plan to hunt them and it's the most physically and mentally demanding hunt you will take on. Scout and I don't mean a day or 2 in the summer and show up a day or 2 ahead, put in months as soon as the snow melts scout, and keep scouting honestly a day or 2 a week almost isn't enough. As someone else stated before you just might see more grizzly bears than sheep. Your looking for anywhere between 5 and 30 resident sheep in these units. I've put in countless days over years and seen sheep 5x and legal rams twice no kills. It is one of the most fulfilling hunting experiences you can have but every single aspect is work.Hey guys/gals I’m looking for some information on Bighorn sheep hunting in the unlimited draw for Montana. I understand it’s some rugged country but I don’t know which unit to try or where to hike to to find sheep. Spotted one up by mystic lake last year and it started to peak my interest. Any advice on where to start would be appreciated. If anyone has harvested one in these areas I’d love to talk to you.
Thanks
I wasn't a member here when you posted this, but I kind of fit the experience of the guy you mentioned...I know at least 1 of the guys on this forum has direct experience sheep hunting in the MT Unlimited units. We’ll see if he comments. He’s also knocked down a Dall and knows the level of effort required in this area.
You’ll earn anything you get in there.
This would be a really great thread to delete all traces of. Can we do that?I'll save you some time-- no one is giving up information on the unlimiteds.
There was once a beautiful thread of a successful trip with photos and everything but the member got none stop pms asking for details of the hunt he deleted all the posts.
My advice is just pick a spot and do some scouting. People get lucky and fill the quota every year.
