You're one of the best guys I know, Shawn, and I can't think of a guy more deserving of pulling a tag via the raffle or draw.  That may still come, but I'm glad to see you making it happen otherwise.  I'm really excited for your hunt, but also excited that you'll be toting your camera along.  This will be one of the more fun stories to read afterwards!

I think you will have a hard time putting down your camera. That country is some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Be a little patient. There are some HUGE rams in there. It is VERY steep country though so you can't do enough conditioning.

Good luck. I can't wait for your pictures and story.

No browning .358 Win on this trip.   Taking along a little 6.5/284.  I'm not much of a gun guy, they all sling lead at a speed to kill.  Im still shooting it but have noticed many of the bullets i want to use arent flying well.  120 ballistic tips do for some reason and at 100 yards plus, shpuld be fine to kill. 

I am bringing version 2 of the 100-400 canon lens.  Version 1 I don't like.

On their website, you need to type in a password to get to the hunting section.  Out of respect, PM me if you want the password.   I don't know exactly what type of ram I want, but I'll know it when I see it.  It's not about score but it is about getting an old, mature, ram I'm proud of.

A sheep hunt has motivated me on workouts.  I did a 10.5 mile run yesterday and 20 mile bike ride in 50 minutes with hill climbs this morning at 5am.  Was dreaming a ram was at the top of every hill...

This coming from a guy who just told the Chelan Butte tag holder to "keep looking"...... :chuckle:

How sharp is that version II of the 100-400 Canon at 400mm wide open compared to the version I ?  I'm familiar with the version I.  I have a 400mm f5.6 but a new 100-400 would be nice if it beats the old version?

Looking forward to the stellar photography that will come with this trip.

Version 2 kicks ass.  The IS on it is also great.  Much sharper than the old version at 400mm.  I suspect optically it's near the 400 F5.6L but the real world sharpness will be better because of IS...
