Same to you... I’d love to see some of these pics.
Ewe bighorn from Montana...a long time ago in the glory days of upper Rock Creek:
Moose from Montana, also a long time ago. Applied for a unit with crap odds hoping I wouldn't draw as I had a dall sheep hunt to do. Terrible tag, it didn't start until Nov. 15th access was an issue and bulls dropping antlers was another issue.
Montana mountain goat. The unit I hunted had only issue a total of 5 tags when I drew in 1998. Hunted early passing on a lot of goats, watched the weather and eventually shot this one in early November. The next year I believe the tag numbers jumped from 2 to 6.
Desert sheep in 2012. Spent 14 or so days right before the season scouting rams solo. According the AZGF population estimates, I looked at and found a vast majority of the rams in the unit. About 40 minutes into the season I shot the ram I liked the most:
Wyoming moose in 2015, pretty average area but decided to use my points. Found this bull after looking around a fair bit and was just a little too good to let go. For the unit, a decent bull. It was a fun time with my Dad, Brother and Nephew.
Last year drew WY sheep and without a ton of help from a good friend that knows sheep country as good as anyone alive, this wouldn't have happened. Did 4 separate hunts over 26 days before things came together. Found 62 rams and was as close to a perfect ram hunt as I could have hoped for. Late in the season, great colored cape, 9.5 years old...stalk to just over 100 yards.
