Congratulations to Steve & Jason.  In your workout routine, don't forget to get your feet in shape. You are going to be hiking on a lot of rocks, so include hiking on rocky, uneven terrain as a part of your workout.   Also, practice shooting severe downhill shots. Steve, if you are going to be at Compton, there are several veteran S12 sheep hunters that will be there.   Jim

Congratulations Jason, nothing like hunting bighorn sheep!!!  We will be expecting full coverage including narrative and pictures of all aspects of your hunt, including scouting. I was lucky and drew a once in a lifetime bighorn permit here in SD so I know what an awesome critter they are to hunt. I will post a couple pictures of my ram to get your juices going even more if that is possible. Caveat, although I hunted the 1st part of the season exclusively with my recurve I ended up taking this sheep with a rifle. I am not trying to get off topic I just wanted to post a couple pics for Jason.

 Please...we only allow pics of trad bow kills.
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

I will be taking LOTS of pictures and try and keep everyone posted.  It would be cool I guess if TG would let me post a"scouting journal". Is there a place here for that?

That is the animal I would want to hunt most if given a choice and one of the most majestic animals...what a prize! Can't wait!!    :thumbsup:    

Rocky mountain bighorn have got to be the primo challenge to shoot with the terrain and habits.
I'm excited for you!!
Congrats!

Jason, If you were to start a thread called "Bighorn Scouting Journal"  I know I for one would follow your every footstep!
We all aren't going to be lucky enough to draw a tag like you did. Please take us with you!  :thumbsup:

Congratulations!  I hope to draw such a tag before I get too old for those mountains.

Good luck to you guys. Pray for stable wind! I swear sheep know they can bed in certain areas not because they can see, but because the wind is so iffy. If you can take away their eyes, all you have left to beat is their nose.

Have a great hunt they are a beautiful animal.

Jason
A journal of this hunt would be way cool, I wish I would have done that, I have notes scribled on everything from quivers to back of maps to carving on rocks, I know what happened, but I wish others did, anymore these are just about once in a lifetime tags, you will get far more if you share.

good luck, you have a great tag, use it wisely

I agree, Since I live 40 miles from the sheep I will get to scout a bunch, if things go the way I want them to.  So I will try and keep everyone here updated on my trips.  I  will start a new post as soon as I take my first trip into sheep country!  Thanks for all the well wishes and support.
