Thanks for all the good replies. I have been out scouting a total of seven days. The highlights for those seven days: Labor Day weekend I had three of my tires tread fall off once I got back to pavement and started down the road. Also no sheep seen that weekend, only one muley doe, found a Ram skull and a three point mule deer shed. I did make it back into Yuma safely. The next scouting trip yielded one lone ewe all weekend. My last scouting trip I stepped on top of a young rattlesnake. Due to the fact that my foot was on top of it and that it was somewhat cool (temperature) in the wash that I was in, the snake only started rattling once I quickly jumped backwards away from snake. The snake proceeded to go underneath some rocks. Again no sheep spotted. I believe that with all the rains (rain=tons of water sources and lots of feed) the sheep are spread out everywhere. Maybe in the next few scouting trips I can locate some Rams. It seems from all the data that I have gathered Virgin Basin is a popular place. I might just go do some glassing in that area. Thanks again.
