Re: Any sheep There?
It has been a good 10 or 12 years since the last time I really put some time into that area, but it is one of the places me and my horse are dying to get back to. I have heard that roads are making access easier and you know how access and the hunter number to quality game ratio works.
Most of my time was spent in the Serpentine Lake-Rex Basin-Dutch Oven area with a couple trips going from the Jones Creek drainage going north to the Hell Creek area.
In those days it was a quality sheep area on the decline a bit, but from what I have heard still is half-ass decent today. As with any sheep hunt your gonna have to be ready to work, but with this area especially. This isn't the Fraser or Nine Mile it's the Shulaps and it can be wicked especially the weather. I personally never saw a full curl ram up there but I did see a couple of smoking 7/8's one time that made me curse the horn curl change of a couple years earlier. There were always quality bucks there and from some of the bucks I've seen taken above the dam in the late season I would think that is still the case today.
They laughed at my boots, laughed at my jeans, laughed when they gave me amphetamines
Left me alone in a mean part of town, 36 hrs to come back down...am I the last of my kind?
