Are there goat and sheep populations to be found on the ridges just to the east of the Besa river? I think one peak is called cypress?

Yup. Some would say that the population of sheep has decreased. It is historic sheep range for sure.
I have glassed a few sheep over there. Tough access. I have seen horses come out of there with elk. I would guess the keily creek camp would be all through there..
Argo or Pony. Pick your poison.
Kiely creek is straight north of that range. I have glassed guys on horse over there and figured they were hunting out of that camp.
no argo access vehicle restriction to 5oo kg dry weight and only 400 meters off the designated trail into redfern. horse or foot dont know if a jet boat would make it up that far.
How many more sleeps till sheep season starts again
Yes there is a outfitter in there,i worked the kiely camp last season and will be there again this season and you wont make it past the besa kiely junction in a boat.
it looks to me on google earth anyway that a guy could possibly get within say 3km of the ridge via the seismic lines just east of the ridge...is there any chance of this, or are those seismic lines impassible by quad and google earth is simply too outdated. Just curious, we are gonna head into that area early sept and Im just thinking that if a couple of us younger legs felt so inclined that we could go for an overnight hike onto the ridge. Is this doable or am I out to lunch since Ive never been in the area before.

Those seismic lines are not part of the designated vehicle route into the MK, so no.
