Sheep Counts

[srupp]

Hmmm couple years ago at the Spencer bridge.seen something that surprised me..a momma bear with 5 cubs..4 black and one brown one...all in a line headed up a draw...the last one of the line was a real playful shit disturbed several times jumping on its siblings back from a sneak attack both tumbling off the trail...scrambling back onto the lineup..only to do it again..kids. .certainly the 5 cubs was a first for me ever..and the antics made me laugh out loud...mother nature is wonderful at all times..but some times she just outdoes herself .
Hmm mm as for puddle pissed. .any ing. .but not his first snipe...unfortunately both Susan and I are sick..and I don't have the time to correct his incorrect views comment on indians set him off..Hmmm mm
Oh well cesspool la vie....

So I take it there is a sheep count in Spences Bridge does that include other areas in the Fraser Canyon ? Never been to one ! Do bring your own spotting scope ? What would be the minimum scope to bring ? Is this a one day thing ? Do guys bring their better half ? Sorry for all the questions !
Thanks

Bring what ever you have and whoever wants to glass for sheep.

People are usually put into groups of 3-4 people per designated zone (so numerous people dont count the same sheep. I think there is a zone from Lytton up to lilloet. nothing else up the fraser.

Hmm the one year I was given the road a cross the Thompson towards Merritt. .didn't see any sheep but did see deer..
I find bringing a good folding chair..thermos of coffee. .extra cup for new friends..GPS. .pen paper..warm clothes especially. .LOTS of water.binoculars, spotting scope with great tripod..lunch.
Good hat.some years sunscreen was needed.
Its a good time to check out different optics being used and why..learn from more experienced sheep hunters..some folks like Dave have come up for years from Fraser Valley..Mission area..makes for a long day.but enjoyable.
They did provide an example of class 1 class 2 class 3 rams..so you could most correctly put your find in the most correct column to make the information more reliable/ use full for the biologists.

Last Year we spotted a Beauty BLOND with brown stockings - had a brown face and neck - Very Different ! Would have made a GREAT rug ! RJ

SHHHH. but in all seriousness Jim I went back a week later and took a poke at him. I'm a bit embarrassed to say it was the first animal I've never recovered, I'm hoping he survived for me to try this year but I have my doubts.
