whats the best trail for sheep and carbiou McEwan or eagle nest

[budismyhorse]

don't believe anything a sheep hunter tells you.

especially on this board.

[BlacktailStalker]

Post up some pics and a story first maybe... you're 2 posts into HBC and both ask for intel for areas not generally blabbed about.
Jokes work too ;)

[Caribou_lou]

I think you should try the Talhtan trail. Lots of sheep there!

[rollingrock]

Any word on that missing sheep hunter who went missing a few years ago?

[digger dogger]

Jokes are NOT required!!!

[boxhitch]

But they are clearly appreciated

Riptide, that trail you mentioned would be my choice too.

Bahahah............

tough group whats the point of a hunting forum if cant ask the little questions not like I am asking for GPS coordinates .I heard the Mcewan trail is a good trail but takes longer to get in to sheep and the eagle nest has a lot of creeks to cross but your in sheep ****ry faster

[digger dogger]

Try to be a little more discreet! Do a search, then try asking in p.m's!(don't be pissed if you don't get an answer)
The last thing guys want up there is more hunters than animals!
I've asked a few questions on here through p.m, some didn't answer back, this means i gotta figure it out myself.
Thats not how to spell country ..lol Good luck. :-) make sure to post a pic if you have success.

Riptide,
You will find out quick... Actually you already did!
There are two questions you dont ask here if you dont have tough skin.
1) Where are sheep
2) Where are Kootenay Elk
Just a fact Of the site. But dont be discouraged there is a tonne of info here. And if you brouse around, get to know the people who Sheep hunt. (you will know them by all the argueing about how to age sheep) PM a couple with specific questions.

Welcome to the site! And i dont know a damn thing about sheep!

Guess you need to ask yourself if you like crossing big creeks.

Sounds like you get 'er all figured out anyways....

What guys are trying to tell you is that right now, you are the guy at a gas station leaning over his pump asking questions about game in the area...........no one wants to help that guy much...

However, if that same guy was asking questions way the hell and gone up a mountain with a little blood and sweat on his shirt.....every hunter in the world would help that guy out no problem.

What these guys are saying is that you should contibute thousands of posts of complete drivel before asking for advice on an area.

What is the latest on the blockade of the Klappan? If it's still blocked, which trail would be a moot point anyhow.

If you're worried about creek/river crossings, have a look at the many options available now for packable rafts. There are a lot of models out there than weigh no more than a couple pounds and sure makes those crossing a lot easier. Build a paddle out of a forked branch and a T-shirt.

Go eaglesnest if you want to find sheep.

..... Whatever..... I get tired of the socalled sheep hunters..... Sheep are like any other animal...... The are huntable and you can do it!!!!! Plain and simple!!
The only difference is make sure it's legal!!!! (DUH!- it's like a mulE deer 4 pt. Season,, you are correct, thisis a hunting site, so don't let it scare you off when you don't get a response right away!!! Already been said, both trails are great, one More wet than the other, as for the blockade, don't worry about it this year!!!!!

What these guys are trying to say is you should do some research on an area before you apply. Not a month before the season opens.

I've never even thought about that kind of hunting and I think I'm over the hill for it anyway, but found this hiker's guide for those interested:

http://www.trailpeak.com/trail-Eaglenest-Creek-Trail-near-Iskut-River-BC-2723

[BromBones]

Creek crossings on the Eaglenest wont be bad - water levels are a bit lower this year. Late August/Sept the creek is usually low enough that crossing isn't an issue.

Neither, there are better rams and caribou in another part of the Spatzizi. If you wish to meet, I will help you.

[riptide]
