I am sure there is an official answer but I have seen them with females at all times of the year, probably a lot to do with going to water. They also seem to go at it and butt heads even when they are not in rut, not the same but they seem to knock each other around all the time. You probably already know this but start shopping for a very comfortable chair now. Get a bigger one you can use around your car and a pad or stool you can use when hiking. You will use them even more than Coues hunting. I would recommend the walkabout stool from Outdoorsman's. You will think it is a ripoff but it is super tough, adjustable, and light and very easy to use without your tripod legs hitting it. Get their butt-pad while you are at it and you will have something to kneel on and sit on the ground with that is indestructible. Last thing, ask everyone you talk to if they want to help. I worried to much about the DIY aspect and wished I would have gotten more people involved early on in the hunt. Part of what you will never forget is how much of a social/team event a sheep hunt can be. Save the hard core backcountry lone wolf hunts for Elk and Deer since this is once in a lifetime the more people you have to share the story with the better. my $0.02

Yep! Get with the Sheep Society guys there are a lot of great sheep hunters that will give you info and some may volunteer to help you with your hunt. Also, get the fly over info from your Wildlife Mgr in your area so you can see where the herds were hanging out. They are often at or very near the areas they have been seen at in recent months. Once food and eater is good late in the year they don't have too much reason to travel far for rams that are with ewes. This is a hunt where it is good to talk to others in your area and have as much help as you can get. One of the hunters in my area got his ram the first weekend and helped me out a bunch. I shot mine on the last day, which kept a grown man from crying and having a nervous breakdown. I hunted for 19 of the 30 days so it was not for lack of covering a lot of area and hunting hard.

Good deal, someone jump on these! I love mine best glass of all the swaro's I have.

Great looking dog and good price! Too bad my wife said no more dogs and I am running thin on ask for forgiveness points!

NICE!!!!!

Scones look delicious! You should sell those, bet you would run out in a day. Starbuck's gets almost $4 a piece for their mostly tasteless scones.

Shoot em' ! If you like what you see with (good) factory loads you can usually improve with bedding and hand loads. Even then you could sell one and have a smith build you a semi custom off the one you keep. I want a 270wsm but if I had to pick would go with the 300. More components, more load recipes, and the ability to shoot a big old bullet if you decide you have the need. Winchesters are great guns, don't let anyone tell you different.

My RCBS digital scale seems to work really well. You could use the electronic scale along with a beam scale and check each charge. The biggest issues I have seen cause problems are ceiling fans, AC, non-level surfaces. Also, some powders meter extremely well and some don't. Ramshot Magnum so far has proven awesome for me. It is right there in performance with H1000 and Retumbo but it is a ball powder so measures like a dream.

As far as I know you have to have it tagged with all of the paperwork for the wildlife mgr at the border along with the paperwork form the ranch.

Mass!

I am not sure why it would be illegal? don't believe the rifle scopes that do this are illegal. Hopefully someone can chime in I am curious as well.

Try the CCI's I really like 'em!

loos good!

"Larry, I got bit by a snake! please, please, please suck the poison out!" "Where?" whispers real close... "dang Joe!" "Okay but If you tell anyone I'll shove this antler so far up you @$$!" "Good Lord I hope nobody sees this!" And of course you got it all on camera!

Harbor Freight! You can get a vibratory tumbler for a lot cheaper than from a reloading place. Or if you want the cleanest brass ever get their tumbler and order the steel pins and lemi-shine online.

That is awesome!

This pretty much explains the level most of these geniuses operate at... I saw both of these ridiculous articles, of course Yahoo was celebrating the L'oreal one.

Man I love these! Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because Chuck Norris only recognizes the element of surprise. A hunting one... kind of: Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird. Chuck Norris doesn't mow his lawn he just dares the grass to grow.

I have to get a pic of the new one up. The barrel has interrupted fluting like the others but the pattern is twisted. Twisted, interrupted fluting, looks cool.

Mostly looks and they are a little lighter. The debate rages on in regards to stiffness and cooling improvements.

No! Still waiting...

Uggg! I need a long action!

7mm dakota: Rem action, Brux fluted, Vortex PST and the 7mmRM (not wildcat): Brux, Stiller Predator, Jewwl trigger, McMillan stock, Leupold MM IV,

I guess it depends on what you are calling a wildcat. I would go with a 6.5 or 338 for a wildcat since they are cartridges with somewhat limited options off the shelf. Currently my favorite caliber is the 7mm, seems to do everything well. 7mm RM does everything pretty well and I also have a 7mm Dakota. The 7mm Dakota seems to be VERY efficient, i can get 3000 fps out of 180gr bullet and it is not a massive Ultra Mag sized case. Be prepared to spend a lot of time with your new wildcat and once you find a load you like spend a weekend and load a bunch of them. Once I get a load dialed in I typically want to load 50-100 at a time. More room for error if I am trying to hurry and load 20 more at a time and it is a pain.

2 tags for 3a/3c, could be 2 very lucky young ladies. If my younger one got drawn 2 years in a row with no points I am finding a quick trip that will sell her some powerball tickets.
