My wife drew unit 17L. we have until the end of Oct. Scouting been difficult because i can’t tolerate smoke since having Covid. I have found a group of ewes and rams should be coming down for the rut soon. My wife is not in condition to go up high (just back from 3 wks Europe). My question is about ram behavior. Are they crepuscular like deer/elk or should I expect much more daytime activity as the rut starts kicking in?

From watching Montana sheep over the years. Things change the last 5 days of October . New rams show up every day in that time period.

Thanks Hunt man. The AQI was 131 nearby there yesterday. Too smoky for us to hike those mountains. Hopefully this weak cold front passing through will clear it out.

As a general rule sheep bed during the night and wander, feed and rest during the day. Once the rut kicks in rams can travel long distances day to day looking for receptive ewes.

From my experience this year. If I wanted to find the sheep, I needed to be glassing the first hour to hour half in the morning and the last hour of light in the evening (usually the last 15 minutes). If I found them in the evening, they were usually close to the exact same spot in the the morning.
