I got to help a friend with his archery sheep hunt that started Monday. We got 1 stalk in, in the morning and closed the distance to 75 yards but got busted. here is a picture of another area we went by empire later in the day. It was steep!
We saw a lot of sheep. thanks to those that passed along some info to Andy.

I heard an S32 archer killed a nice 8 yr old ram in Miller Creek north of Empire opening morn 8/2/04. He patterned the sheep and was waitting in their bedding area for them to return. Good luck! Looks pretty green up there this year. Sandbrew

Its funny in 1 day of helping my friend out I met 1 guy with a tag and knew who the other 3 were that had tags in S32. Was he from nevada?
We saw 2 rams on the hill above the town of Empire opening morning, too bad they were off limits by a couple hundred yards.

Nice set up

I really admire a guy who goes after an animal as notorious for difficult shots as sheep with a recurve!

LAST EDITED ON Aug-05-04 AT 04:29PM (MST)[p]The guy from Reno scored this a.m. on a nice 10 year old ram. He's a friend of mine so I'm really happy for him. He worked hard at it, scouted hard - got to Colorado early to do that and things fell into place for him this a.m.

RamDreamer, Has he checked it yet? I'd love to check it out. Where was he hunting.....roughly? I heard some interesting reports from the last count. Lots of hikers messing up the sheep paterens. Send me an email if you don't want to post here. Any pics?

Sandbrew,

Kevin, from Reno, did the DOW check out thing yesterday afternoon. The ram was heavily broomed and DOW aged it at 13 years (instead of the 10 I posted earlier). Incredible accomplishment to arrow such an old monarch like that.
