Colorado Desert Sheep

[CoHiCntry]

I'm putting in for desert sheep in Colorado and have a question I'm hoping someone will know the answer to for sure. A resource I've been looking at say's that unit S62 is only 5% public land. I know unit 62 is full of public land so I'm wondering if what their saying is it's only 5% public land where all the sheep are at? Does anyone know? Thanks...

The sheep unit numbers are different from the deer/elk units, so S62 is not the same as gmu 62 out in western Colorado.

I know that. In this case S62 & unit 62 der/elk boundaries are the same except on one end of the unit. if that makes sense?

S62 is more like 80% public between FS and BLM. Call the biologist, but if memory serves the sheep are in the big/little Dominguez Creek area in the north of the unit.

I think your probably right. Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something. I've got a call in to the biologist... haven't heard back yet. Thanks.

Thanks! Your the first person I've come across who's actually hunted it. That's kind of what I assumed. Just wanted to be sure. That's a great ram... I'll PM you when I draw

 

[orionthehunter1]

please do, the rams are not hard to find in there

Ahhh, that’s funny. I stopped getting that resource because the only thing they could cut and paste correctly were the errors...

 

[orionthehunter1]

I saw your thread over on eastmans forum it is funny that a guy from North Carolina puts the Colorado sheep MRS together

 

[CoHiCntry]

Lol! Yeah, it wouldn't be so bad but I first pointed it out three years ago and they still haven't fixed it. They actually expanded on it it this year and mentioned the same error in the extended comments section!

I don't know how you could make the odds worse. Odd of drawing that tag are a rounded up 1%. Maybe now it will be 0.00040921985815603% chance to draw. Long shot odds, good luck. They all have heavy amounts of public land.

I'm on the sidelines for bighorns, will be spending the next five years chasing the dream.
