Monterey???

[Mad Max]

Any body hear from Monterey and his hunting trip

Hey I'm still at it, Max.

Still ongoing.  Season runs to 8-27. Camp is at 11,600.  Lots of up and down and thin air for me.  I  go in for three or four days and then come out for a few days of recovery.   I'm out right now and going back in on Wednesday the 14th. 

Rain has been a big obstacle.  With it comes fog and mist and poor visibility. 

This sheep hunting is very different from any other species I've ever pursued.  Very frustrating.  At one point I was 400 yards from a group of 14 rams.  All legal 1/2 curl or better and two of them 7/8 at least.  They were absolutely unapproachable!  They had already made me before I spotted them.  They casually walked up the side of a peak and around the other side in 15 minutes.  That would be a two hour project for me!

On the bright side, I have found a point where they have been feeding recently and being sheep it may be on their future itinerary. 

Meanwhile, the fox has always been a sign of luck for me and this one came and hung around camp one night.  Now anything can happen!

Hey, I seen that:)

[Crooked Stic]

I would be gettin different boots   

[Flem]

I think it's the pink knee pads more than the boots that scare the sheep. At least that's the way it is in Idaho.
