Congrats on your sheep tag. Even a tough hunt is better than none. Here is a little slice of info from the G&F website. Bighorn Sheep Overview: An overview is exactly what you will have when you hunt desert bighorn sheep in Units 9 or 10. You will most likely be on the rim of Cataract Canyon looking down … a long ways down. Watch that first step. There is a small permanent population of desert bighorn in the Cataract Canyon area. This is a naturally occurring population and not a transplant, although a supplemental transplant is being considered at this time. Hunting sheep in Cataract Canyon is usually not a simple affair. A hunter should walk the rim of the canyon and look down. If sheep are above the rim the hunt could be over quickly. However, if they are below the rim, things get interesting. If they are on the middle bench, the hunt becomes more difficult, but they are still huntable. If the sheep are on the bottom talus slope or the bottom of the canyon, a lot of difficult hiking is in the hunter's future. This is "real" Grand Canyon sheep hunting. Areas: Sheep are most commonly observed in the northern portion of the hunt area along Cataract Canyon. Driftwood Canyon, Disquiba Canyon, and the main stem of Cataract Canyon itself as far south as the area around the Carlson Pothole catchment are the best locations. Sheep do use the entire canyon area and have been observed all the way south to the Box K area. The Havasupai Reservation is off limits to sheep hunters.

Unit 27 October Whitetail

There are some decent leftover tags available!

Hey Mike, No deer for you this year? I only applied for sheep bonus point this year, but if I ever get that unit 27 Rocky tag, you are always welcome in camp. Now if you are interested in coming down to unit 27 in November, I will be there trying to bowhunt Bulls!

Happy Birthday Bro, hope its a great one!

What a waste of perfectly good ketchup!

July 24th, 1:00 p.m. or maybe...............??????? Right now its a crap shoot. I have a hunch something happened to the draw computers.

Happy birthday bro! May you have a great day, with many returns!

To me, camping and eating well during a hunt is half the fun, so I don't worry about simple food prep. For Breakfast: Bacon, eggs, hashbrowns or pancakes, or corned beef hash and eggs, or hamsteak. I like a big breakfast before I leave camp in the morning. For Dinner : Usually at least one huge meal of grilled Top sirloin steak, fried potatoes, and ranch beans and or corn on cobb. Homemade chili with biscuits or tortillas Mexican food night : Burritos with refries and chips/salsa/guacamole Maybe grilled cheeseburgers another night Hamsteaks with garlic mashed potatoes and some veggies Homemade Stews Marinated and grilled backstrap if the opportunity presents itself Of course there is always a pie or two for deserts along with other snacks and goodies And always lots of cerveza around to wash down dinner with!

Well, I guessed results would be out by July 21st at 1:00 p.m. So much for that idea. There was rumor floating around another website that there were problems with the draw computer. I know it is just rumor but............?

Thanks Amanda! It is very thoughtful of you.

It is a very nice looking rig. Do you have a special holster or sling that you use in the field to carry it it? Just curious as to what works better for those bigger pistols.

Hey Mike, Check out this guy shooting a .600 nitro express pistol.

Gotta love those hand cannon's Shorter barrels, faster powder?

That is one handsome Ram! Congrat's on him and your B&C entry. I bet that was a fun hunt!

So how many beers did it take to wash down that surf and turf meal?

Snakes, did you say snakes?

KRP, I am not sure what just happened in your life, but it sounds like a very painful and emotional time for you and your family, and my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and yours. Do not be mad at God for your loss, but ask him for help and healing. God bless!

Just for comparison, A .300 Winchester Mag shooting a 180 grain round has a recoil energy rating of 25.9 ft/lbs A .470 Nitro Express Shooting 500 grain round has a recoil energy rating of 69.3 ft/lbs The .470 has almost 3 times the recoil energy of the .300 mag. Ouch!

Thats awesome Lance! I love that place. Happy belated birthday to your boy, looks like you all had alot of fun.

Very nice!

Happy B-day my friend! May you celebrate this day, and and many more in good health, with good freinds and family. And may you draw that elk tag every year forever. Have a great day! I will tip a cold one tonight in your honor.

I call a couple more times just to make sure its real.

1-602-942-3000, a number that is permanently burned into my memory bank. I am waiting to be assimilated.
