For many of us, the prospect of scouting for an animal to hunt is as enjoyable as the hunt itself. This year, I was unsuccessful in drawing my resident Wyoming sheep tag. After I whiffed in the draw, I started to focus my hiking and scouting on elk and mule deer. I located some decent early bulls and also a few muley bucks.
I started to get bored and decided there is no reason why I
can't scout for bighorn sheep. In the last two weeks, I have started scouting the areas that I had originally planned to sheep hunt in if I had drawn the tag. Last Friday I was in some very remote "sheep" country and started kicking up quite a few sheep. I also found an exceptional goat chilling by himself on a cliff.
I am going to locate as many sheep as I can for the next few months. I am going into some horrible steep country. It is showing me the places I can access on foot and those that I cannot. I am also finding some potential camp sites and sources for water. It has actually been a lot of fun. As the snow recedes, I anticipate seeing more and more great sheep country.
