Cool! Enjoyed all the pics! Interesting spot for sure. And, you’re going to try it with the recurve… awesome! Good luck buddy!

From: Nick Muche

01-Aug-23

Did you see any sheep?

From: BULELK1

02-Aug-23

Thanks! Tavis, exclusive for the first hunt week I'm going then, if nothing arrowed/harvested the next trip down, not so much.

Sure did Nick....but with me being 1 of 6 tag holders, not a pic will be posted, let them do their own scouting and find the Rams. Plus, I had Heatwave issues even as early as 0800 while Digi-Scoping.

Ya know I hardly ever post pix of the actual animal I'm doing my Photo/Scouting threads about on the internet, to the hunter, yes privately.

I'm out later this month in the Fishlake LE Bull unit for a fellow bowsiter that drew a Muzzy tag and also during that trip, into the Pahvant for another fella that drew the early Rifle Bull on the Filmore/Pahvant and I most prolly won't post to many elk pix of bug bulls publicly but privately.

They are basically across I-70 from eachother.

Good luck, Robb

From: Nick Muche

02-Aug-23

Well that's pretty neat! Hopefully it'll all come together with your old school bow that first week, lot's to be excited about! Fire up a Thermacell and lose the bug net, makes things a bit more enjoyable at least.

From: BULELK1

03-Aug-23

Thanks for the suggestion.

I do have my Thermacell in my pack as I use it while capping and boning the meat off to help keep the bugs and Wasp away.

Good luck, Robb

From: Treeline

03-Aug-23

Will the thermacell keep wasps away? Never used one before but will be cooking in a pop up later this month… Tons of wasps there.

From: BULELK1

04-Aug-23

Not so much on the Black Wasps and I hate them, my whole arm swells up if one of them sting me.

Good luck, Robb

Yup, Pine Tree camo Turtleneck, Snake camo long sleeve Breathable shirt with a Photographers vest. ;)

I just got home from my 2nd scouting trip.

Quite a few Class III, Class IV and Class V D-Rams glassed up and filmed.

Good luck, Robb

Thanks All------->

Not sure where any Rams I found/saw will be come my hunt, but I know they are there!

Quick turnaround week, off to hunt Any Bull elk here in my home state Thursday for a week.

Good luck, Robb

Good luck, Robb!!! Looking forward to seeing how this one goes.

From: Tilzbow

03-Oct-23

Ya know I’ve probably been on 20 sheep hunts including 10 or so for desert bighorns with some really experienced guides and hunters and we’ve never used the terminology Class II, III, etc. and if I’ve heard it I can’t recall….. However, the term shooter, not a shooter and banana ram have been commonly used along with, “Wow, that’s a huge one, shoot!!!” LOL!!!

BTW, those three on the right better qualify as shooters during the first 30 seconds of your hunt with zero hesitation!

From: Nick Muche

Robb’s always using the hip lingo. Mad props on the October avatar and the mutton chops.

Hey bud, can you shoot with a face mask on? Sitka has the light hoodie with a built in one and then there are lots of other choices. Sure does a lot to break up your face when you are in tight on them. you can always slide it down just when you need to shoot. Have fun, be safe and make some bowhunting memories. If anyone deserves a ram, you do. We will all be there in spirit when it happens. Your friend, Tom.

How's it feel being only 1 of 90?

From: BULELK1

12-Oct-23

Thanks fella's, it is exciting!

Had a fun elk hunt, bailed a day early as I didn't want the mess of driving home in a blizzard! haha

I always seem to run into sheep in the OTC Any Bull unit up on the North Slope of the Uinta Mnts.

A band of ewe's and lambs with 1 young Ram.

Good luck, Robb

From: BULELK1

Well, my hunt starts in the morning/28th. I'm staying home for the first 10 days though.

I'm hopefull the other 5 tag holders will tag out in that time frame that includes 2 weekends.

I'd hate to have any of those Long-Range Rifle hunters not seeing me putting a bow stalk on and end up shooting over my head!

I did get an opportunity to upgrade from being a Life Member with The Wild Sheep Foundation to Summit Life Member.

Along with some Swag, I feel good about helping Put More Sheep on the Mountain for future lucky tag holders.

Good luck, Robb

While I've been antsy to leave and go Sheep hunting, I did get a project or 2 done.

I added my BC Fisher and my backyard Have-a-Heart trapped Racoon up with my other tanned hides presentation.

I’ve had a couple of sheep tags that I did not fill. Haunts me to this day that I thought work was more important…

As tough as sheep tags are to draw anymore, now I would plan to be out there for two weeks before the hunt and every single day of the hunt…

From: pirogue

Good luck, Robb, and thanks for sharing

"sheep tags that I did not fill. Haunts me to this day that I thought work was more important"

Me too Treeline, I know exactly what you mean... I drew a CO ewe tag in 99 and only hunted about a week or so... Never filled the tag and it will probably be the only sheep tag I'll ever draw, wish I had a do-over...

Best of luck BULELK1...

Thanks for the input, always much appreciated.

I've got till December 24th, so I am not as wired up this early AM as I was yesterday!

Plus, I've been down on the Gen Deer tag I shared my 20 points with, dad, his wife and their daughter, on the Filmore/Pahvant unit. His wife slipped and broke her leg (tibia) last Sunday. Man, what a treat getting her off the mountain and to the hospital. She is recovering well though.

I've had a fun filled year so far, twice in Wyoming Cow elk, Any Bull here in my home state, the F/P deer hunt here and now my Ram hunt....

Talking with the Nv biologist for the Mormon Mnts/#271, right across the border, if the snow piles up some of that herd winters on the Utah side......in my unit.

A man has to have a plan, ya know.

I did get reached out to about 1 nice Ram harvested yesterday on the opener. Good for him.

Thanks again All,

Robb

From: Treeline

Certainly sounds like a great hunting season, even with the broken leg :-(

Looking forward to your sheep hunt when you get rolling on it!

Sounds like a wonderful hunt coming up. The man has a plan, the man has a tag, the man has a bow, the man is the man. Have a great hunt, make some bowhunting memories and thanks for bringing us along. Not sure when the rut kicks in down there but its the end of November up here. Good luck, be good and if you can't be good, be safe. Your friend, Tom

From: BULELK1

04-Nov-23

Hey Thanks!!

The rut is earlier in late summer/early fall down on the Northern most end of the Mohave Desert.

I've already got everything loaded and all I have to do is fill my cooler, hook-up to my lil' hunt trailer and load my bow then hit the road!

Antsy for sure--------> Come on Monday morning 0430!

I've been learning/practicing about doing a Semi-Live hunt, I'm still 50/50 about it though. I've got enough to concentrate on being Solo Recurve hunting! haha

Thanks again All,

Robb

From: JohnMC

Rob

I want to heckle you into doing a semi live hunt. However, if I were in your shoes, I'd go enjoy the hunt and focus on killing one and worry about Bowsite when I get back.

Thanks, Big John.

I'm back home after my 10 days.....

Well, let me preface this post with the fact that I am going back down to hunt in mid-December and will stay until the end of my tag season December 24th if need be.

I'm getting Razzed that I am just Milking this hunt out! haha
