Hey guys, love this site!
Anyways, I was one of seven drawn for Any Ram sheep hunt in 8-09A. I have been hunting a few years now, but am not an old hand by any means. I have only killed deer at this point.
Here is a map of where I am allowed to hunt.

Does anyone have advice as to hunting areas or any other tips to help make this a successful hunt? I will be doing some scouting, but the hunt begins in September so getting close to the wire.
If it matters I'm currently shooting a 30-06 and planned on hand loaded 165 grain TTSX as this is what I use for deer and currently load for this gun. I visit the range but usually only do 100 and 200 yard shooting. So if sheep are usually shot much longer I should perhaps do more practice at this as well.
Thanks everyone I really appreciate it.
