Sheep hunting 2023

[Ltbullken]

Getting ready for my sheep hunt region 7. Been working myself into shape seems to take longer every year lol. Heading into the mountains for the opening. Hopefully the weather eases up on the heat. This year is a drop off by bush plane and 2 day hike into my spot. For those wondering husquvarna 7mm mag 160 grain. rifle and pack 50 lbs. good luck everyone.

I always get excited about sheep hunting, but a Husqvarna in a 7mm Rem Mag no doubt is really interesting!! Love my Huskys x 2!

For my part - our plan is to drive up to the operator, fly out on the 28th! We'll hike in 1 - 2 days depending on what we see!! Pack will be about 60lbs taking my Kimber Hunter 270 (140gr Accubond handload) sporting a Zeiss V4 4-16.

As of right now the plan looks like I’m going in a group of four with my wife, brother and a good friend of ours. We’ll likely split up about 30kms back and I’ll hunt with my wife. We’re going later this year from sep 3-15 ish. Hopefully it doesn’t snow

It looks like it’s going to be a thirsty year this year up high. Anyone else been watching the average snow/water index? This time last year we were over 100% in the peace, this year We’r already at zero (almost to zero in the Skeena / Nass.

Watching snow reports, the last two years shows a good amount of snow still for June where we’r flying to, this year looks next to nil on the satellite imagery. We’r planning our hunt around water supply this season.

Good luck and I hope it's a successful hunt. I'm wondering about how dry it's going to be and being able to source water. My training plan has been derailed with a bout of bronchitis. Hopefully it can get back on track before we fly in at the end of August.

Really comfortable with my rifle. I've been hunting sheep with my Husky 7mm rem mag for at least 45 years, swarovski 3x9 scope , Mcmillan stock, fluted douglas barrel. Prior to that i had a 270 husky that i used.

For the boaters — reports are that the rivers are low already. Still enough water for now.
