Couple of Big horns

[huntwriter]

Nice pictures, my wife took many of these rams and as Mark pointed out she walked almost within touching distance of the critters. Each time I see them I get frustrated that you can’t hunt them there. Sure would look nice on the wall and no over hill and dale dragging involved.

Are you coming up tomorrow HW? Come before lunch, it might not take too long, only 10 to 12 this time.

I recognized the spot from the lock block in the background. Been there hundreds of times.

Only a couple hundred times?

Have fun tomorrow.

Tell those boys I bet they can't tackle one of them big rams.

Would love to come up but I am busy all of Monday and Tuesday, sitting in meetings with the school board to hopefully get an archery course going at the schools around here.

Good luck with that HW, sounds like a very worthwhile project.

I feel the same, if theres a decent population, why couldnt there be 1 or 2 LEH's per year??? Maybe archery only??? Anyone know why not???

These sheep are very habituated to humans, pretty much the same as Park sheep, they're basically town pets, it's really a question of fair chase and social acceptability, you wouln't need a gun or a bow, a ball peen hammer would probably be enough weapon. There is no biological or conservation reason, there's actually an excess of rams in the herd and lots of them are very old, very big, trophy quality rams.

Are you sure, did you ever watch those guys struggle with just a small ram or a ewe, and they're young tough guys too? It's real rodeo and fairly dangerous, you get flailed around, bashed into the chute walls, trampled, butted, peed on, pooped on, and ground into the mud.

Ya, ok, so are the kamloops herd of sheep, and theres a couple draws over there!!! I figure after a few years of whacking a couple a year they would smarten up a bit!
If its sustainable, why not make a harvest??
It would also reduce the chance of car incidents, as well opportunistic poachers!!! So why not I ask????
