Update on my son's SJ hunt.
We spent a total of 8 days (3 different trips) on the Spot and Stalk hunt. We saw one bear and couldn't get a shot because it was moving. We have previously been on that hunt when we would have easily seen a dozen bears during that time, but this year, they were...
That is such a classic sheep hunter story Wes. Im sure I would have loved to meet your friend. l could never mess with my wife's car but I did spend a year flipping a house to finance my
Stone hunt. I'd be way ahead financially if I would have kept and rented that house, but that would also...
I totally understand. I bit the bullet when they were half what they are now. It was a tough pill to swallow back then. I can't imagine doing it now. My son is also needing a Stone but the $$$$is crazy.
That's awesome. Jefferson is high country sheep hunting!. Thanks for sharing.
So that begs the question, have you taken a Stone? That would obviously complete a slam!
Great move Horniac! No doubt you'd still be waiting for that tag.
You obviously have a Dall and a Desert. Any others?
I'm starved for sheep talk so I'd love to hear about your 2017 hunt.
Congrats to your son. Some of those sheep seem to have great heavy bases. I'm hearing that the sheep numbers are way down lately, but I'm sure you will have another great adventure.
Keep us posted!
I have found that if I loosen all the screws to the same depth, then tighten a quarter turn each until they touch, it makes it so it won't come off with only one loose.
I have a bunch of Leupolds and I've never had one fail, but that practice makes me feel better.
That's awesome Fairchasen. Please keep us informed about the whole hunt if you can. That's one of the units I've applied for and been in. Congratulations to your son.
nvguy2,
It sounds like you have good sheep karma in your family. I hope you will share those hunts with us, if you can. Congrats to the lucky tag winners!
