They were a ton of help on my mt. Goat hunt and of course on deer and elk but that country where's I shot my ram was to rough even for the mules. Unfortunately we had to put the ram on our backs to get it out. And it took two trips because we had our packs loaded with to much clothing and gear...
Thanks for all the kind words and for following this hunt. It was quite the adventure and im still trying to come to the realization its over and with a solid ram.
The only advice I can give to you guys is advice someone gave to me at the start of my hunt. "Sheep hunts are not a Sprint there a marathon"! Just keep that in your head. If there was one thing I'd change about the hunt it would be don't push your hardest at first. I did and got burnt out and...

Fast forward to the next week. We got back to camp Friday night with a couple hours to spare of life. A hiked up and over the Continental divide and started glassing where I suspected the Rams to be after they crossed into Idaho. After about a half an hour of glassing I located six Rams on the...
As you can see it wasn't a complete waste of time we will forever remember the struggles of this hunt and the beautiful sunrises and sunsets made from the unfortunate moose fire.
Sorry for the absence on this post I've been out hunting hard since it open for the most part. I went into this hunt with high hopes and low expectations. Last year there was a 0% success rate and the years prior to that were not much better. I experienced a ton of smoke and high temperatures...
Thanks everyone! I'm getting super excited even though I haven't seen any other rams, other than the five in July. I'm going to enjoy it regardless if I see a ram or not. It will be a great time and and excited to make some life long memories.
Your completely right! I definitely won't fill my tag if I don't find what I'm excited about. The size of rams aren't the best in the unit, but if I could just find a mature ram that gets me excited I'll go after him.
I still need to get all the harvest reports. I'm mainly wondering if the best way to access this hunt is from Montana side and what people have done to be successful. Five rams in five trips over there doesn't seem that great to me but maybe it is. I appreciate the input thanks for the reply...
Hello everyone. I was lucky enough to draw a sheep tag in unit 30 and 30A this year I've gone out five times now and so far only found five rams. I was curious if there was anyone here that's done this hunt in the past. Also wondering if it would be better if accessed from Montana? That's kinda...
That exact thing happened to my dad and his buddy a few years back. They ended up without a tag. I now screen shot my results and buy my tag asap when I have a successful draw. Hopefully your friend has a better experience.

I've heard people doing that. Have you had experience with that working? I've just thought with a old wise bear that might make him move on and leave my bait. He might think it's not worth the risk.
