It can be a tough hunt.  One nice one and a bunch of good ones in there now.  Spend a bunch of time looking at sheep so you know what your looking at when you pull the trigger.

 +1, any help you need just ask. :tup:
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Had my first scouting trip over 4th of July weekend.  The road I really wanted to go in was closed for fire danger but I was able to get in the swakane valley road and check some of that country out.  We saw a lot of sheep and a few nice looking rams, but I don't think they are what I want.  Got pictures of two of them through spotting scope.  Saw a lot of animals on this trip, some deer, one bear and a bunch of sheep.  It was a fun trip.  Thanks to everyone who has helped me out so far.

I would keep tabs on that one in case you can't find a bigger one :twocents:

I would take the upper ram, no questions
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

He looks long.  I'd like to see better pics of him and from different angles.

Me too - but - he is a full curl with uniform mass to the 3rd quarter, and an inside curl big enough to stuff a volleyball inside.  I love all the chipping from past battles, and would never care if that reduced his score.  With that tag I might look around further, but he'd never fall off my list.

The one to the right would be good enough for me.  I would keep an eye on him and have someone else hold your bullets if you are going to hold out for the best sheep in the unit.  I would want someone along that really knows sheep to give me the go ahead that what I was shooting was close to as good as it gets.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.
