spent a week at Spenses bridge looking for sheep HOT HOT HOT..summer hot..met a fine member from this site who recognized my truck pleasant visit... nice man..
Found between 50-60 sheep over the course of the week...mostly ewews and lambs..very spread out north south wise.Pretty predictable locations..
As for rams..seen a few..a couple bannana rams, and a 3/4 ram..surprising how far back from the Thompson river the rams were..miles and pretty high up one past Murray Creek rec site!
Lots of black bears 13 or so...the fishing for salmon was good according to the guys who were fishing..
Trip ended when I guess I dumped my quad looking at a new area..last thought was " I thinlk I can make it"..not...woke up glad I HAD been wearing my helmut..and reminding myself to KEEP my SPOT on my body and not in the day box that ended 40 or so feet from the overturned quad.Quad needs a couple minor adjustments tommorrow..lol damage to helmut will remind me to keep wearing it..
Am going back again in Oct..hopefully it will cool off.
Found some really remote camps in some hidey holes.. spent lots of time glassing..they really blend in well in some terrain.
Seen some hunters way back in towards hwy 12?? And a couple crankers of bucks..but shooting a deer would have meant heading home..so did dumping the quad..lol..
All in all fun and informnative..still putting all my GPS locations on the maps..
