Thinking of the Mountains!!!!

[nube]

Walleyes, your type of hunting is different as well.  You don't do the backpack mountain sheep hunt type thing and a small stove like Sheepguide has is a must.  I use a whisperlite myself with white gas.  One canister last at least 4 days and in a pinch lighting a fire in the mountains I use the stove to get the fire started.  The wood in the mountains seems to keep wet and can be hard to light at times.

Jetboil = Cats meow.

I have used a few different stoves now, but the fact that the stove fits inside the cup with a canister and has a extra cup on the bottom makes it easily the best 14oz package for cooking I know of.

I was skeptical till I went on a 8 day trip with some buddies and they insisted i get one before we go. One of the best recommendations I have received.

Power of the mountains, a supercub!


Most renouned sheephunter I guided. As seen in the book Greatrams II,  jebus Guinterez. I beleive the ram he got with me was his 14th North American ram.


A sheep hunters favorite tool. Nothing beats the Swaro!

CAN Bigbore is that Turret Ridge?

[CAN_bigbore]

not sure where turret ridge is there but the one picture shows the black hole.  We were only back about a 2.5 hr horse ride.

[nube]

Ya that is Turret Ridge in the back ground.  Never been up into the Black hole myself.  i usually go a fair bit in past it.  I hear there are a few sheep that hang out in the black hole area and always wanted to check it out.  Have you killed a ram yet?

[CAN_bigbore]

Nope haven't got an illusive ram yet, but those pics were taken when i was searching for a sheep.  The guys i was with were mainly up there for elk so we didn't spend much time sheep hunting.  Wish i would have had a goat draw for there bucause there was about 15 of them just up the ridge from where those pics were taken.

we thought about crossing this....but i just didnt feel like dying that day.



i thought this was pretty neat.  fossilized seabed stuff at the top of the world in the wilmore.

A couple from my first days sheep hunting,

Harrison Flats


Headwaters Trail part way from Indian Head to Ranger Creek


Solo trip I did to the Upper Clearwater. 155" WT I found on the trip.


Hauling an extra saddle out after a horse put its back out and had to go out empty.


My second year huning sheep. Im second in line 15yrs old. Came out with my first ram that year.

[CAN_bigbore]

You definitely can't beat the old school horse back trips to the mountains IMO.  Hopefully one day ill have my own string.

     Here's some pics from last year.  Went on a solo trip for a few days, still trying to get my first one.  Found a few rams on the second day but they ended up giving me the slip the next morning due to a bad stalk.  Hard lesson learned but a good one.
