I drew a Clark/Kingston sheep tag this year, I wanted to do this hunt DIY, my wife and I spent a couple days scouting and trying to figure to roads system out after attending the orienation. George and Andy provided some very good info, Tim also gave some and told me I was in for the hunt of a lifetime which I already knew. We arrived 2 days before season opened, spent the next 4 days glassing,glassing and more glassing, not seeing a single sheep.Day 5 we spotted a ram 2 miles away watched him feed all the way up the mountain and over the top, we went around to the other side, about a 6 mile trip and put a stalk from that side. Almost to the top I fell and hit my rifle and scope, didn't think I hit it that hard so I kept going, found the ram and took shot at 200 yrds. imagine the sick feeling when I heard my bullet hit a rock. Came off the mountain feeling very sick, we stopped and shot to check rifle, it was 11 inches to the right, fixed that problem. Next day we went to the Mesquite Mtns. we had been hunting the Clarks up til now, Pam saw a ram, I did not see anything. Back to Clarks the next day no sheep. Day 7 tried a new area only to have it distirbed by helicopter working on old gold mines, we left and went back to our favorite glassing spot, the spot where we had spotted the other ram. Pam thought I was crazy, she said she knew every rock on that mnt. and there were no more sheep on it, imagine the surprize when 10 minutes glassing I spotted 2 rams on the very top. The biggest ram pawed out a bed and laid down, the smaller one did shortly afterwards, the stalk was on. Going down the canyon about 2 miles to get out of sight then up the mountain, I topped out, but could not find the rams, Pam signled that they were still there, I finally spotted them, they were up feeding 257 yrds away. Boned out the ram and came out with the first load, Pam went back up for the next load, shot at 1040 am we finished just at dark. It was a trip we will not ever forget.
