Saw a massive ram this afternoon
« on: September 16, 2010, 09:16:21 PM »
Couldn't quite get in front of him in time but didn't spook him either. I don't think I will see one bigger than him, hope I get another chance at him. Yesterday I saw about 40 young sheep and not one mature ram. I did cross paths with the biggest rattle snake I have ever seen in this state. Well, there is my update after 2 days.
BOOM ...That's funny ....BOOM !

I have the tieton any ram tag. I didn't have time to do much preseason scouting but I am real familiar with the area I am hunting though. Stinking steep country though, rough on my old knees.

Good luck, keep icing the knees every night you can and hitting the Ibuprophen at the end of a day.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Good luck and keep at him.  It really sounds like you are in the right area.  Can't wait to read the results of your hunt.

Yes, this sheep hunting is fun. Yesterday my son and I went out to where I had seen sheep on Wednesday and snuck around the rim and didn't see anything, a little disappointing because we were in the honey hole. Then we notice some elk moving through the trees so we start glassing and sure enough, a branch antlered bull. Now we are both thinking oh boy the curse of the special permit, you know the one, you never see the animal you have a permit for but you see dandies of everyother species. I think my son was a little deflated so he asked if we could sit down awhile. I said sure and I put my hand down on a flat rock to lower myself and 8 inches away a baby rattler started moving away, he was rolled up with his twin trying to stay warm, they were so young they only had one button. That's 4 rattlers now. So we go a little farther and spot a herd of sheep feeding about 300 yards in front of us, we sneak up to about 125 yards and glass them, no big ones. Latter we saw two groups on a slope that is unapproachable, too steep. Shoot one there and he rolls all the way to the bottom. I jokingly texted elkstuffer asking if it was too soon to start panicking and he responded "hell no" don't know what he meant by that. :chuckle: Anyway going up tomorrow after work.
