My buddy and I are total noobs to sheep, but we have optics. Figure this could be a good opportunity to practice and contribute….

Was allot of fun. I could watch them everyday. My buddy and I managed to glass up 37 sheep in our areas. A fair amount were yearlings …. so that was promising. Found a pretty sweet 3/4 ram in one bunch too.
Local people were pretty interesting. Got called a self intitled city slicker for parking in a spot that didn't meet to one fellows liking….lol...and an impaired female who was worried I was going to kill the sheep.

Had a great day, seen over a hundred sheep, no rams other than bananas though.

First time there. Had a lot of fun. We glassed 30 sheep. Seemed like most the yews had last years lambs with them which is good. A few Rams but all where small. Looking forward to next year
