What are your choice dates of chasing stones around? Haven't quite figured that out myself, and wondering if there may be a higher that average time that others may have had success?

Ditto on september, Less people, Less BUGS,and longer haired capes.
A few extra clothes and a warmer bag and yor set.

In September you also get to see the colors change and the berries are sweeter but expect a little snow, well worth the trade off.

I would disagree. My choice dates are mid august. By that time they are hairing up for a better coat, they shouldn't be moving to their winter range yet and the weather should be steadier which reduces the chance of losing hunting days to a low ceiling. Yes the bugs are worse.

I chase them later 'cause I like them haired up and also you can go mixed bag without looking at velvet. This year I am in for the last two weeks of September instead of first two weeks of October. Hoping for less snow this time.

We all have favorite times to pursue sheep. I believe anytime a man or woman is out on the mountain hunting sheep........is a good time.

My favourite time is late September.

Kind of off topic, but in and around Oct.10 for me for hunting rockies in the east koots.
