If you are busted/spotted on a stalk, don't immediately drop out of sight. If the sheep don't flee, sit still and wait. You may be able to resume the stalk out of sight if ignored (unlikely). If needed, slowly carry on towards them, or angle closer to try to get in range. If you are spotted and you drop out of sight, usually they get nervous and leave.

Good advice and that can carry over to all of your hunting..

Sight..
Sound..
Scent..

Avoid all of these..

Always be cautious of any objects in your posession that may reflect/shine. Glare off a glossy barrel, rifle scope, fancy sun glasses, binos etc can be seen for a LONG WAYS, and will make you stick out like a sore thumb.

They won't be far unless bumped. They won't start moving to much until things get closer to the rut then they will start traveling to breeding and wintering grounds. But this will be more near mid October unless the weather starts turning nasty early.

posted this on the wrong thread...     think i got this site figured now

try to hide your camp in trees
med tape is better then mole skin
good gear can make a huge difference
never assume new gear will work.... always test pre-season
trekking poles help

Allways have a Emergency Blanket or tarp in Day pack and be prepared to stay with your Ram as in put him to bed and dry camp on the mountain with him  so when day light hits you are there .. this is a once in a life time chance some times,, so being prepared helps.. it will hurt when climbing the next morning only to hear a shot
