Sheep Hunt

Usually, I post in order occurrence, but I was so tired I just posted the finale for this hunt. This is my buddy Eric with me here. We field dressed and deboned the ram out right here. It had fallen about 200 ft down the side of the mountain to this point. So taking pretty, tasteful pictures just wasn't going to happen. It doesn't look bad but this is very steep, and while we were working, the rocks kept trying to slide out from under us.
This photo gives you an idea of what we had to climb out of with about 60 lbs a piece on our backs.
These packs are worth their weight in gold, and for a reason. This is meat, cape and horns.
The mountains in the background are the range I hunted last year. It rained most of the time we were here, threatened us but never poured on us. That would have made things much more difficult.
