Barbary sheep & NM stumping
« on: January 16, 2012, 09:12:00 PM »
Got out today to hunt barbary sheep (aoudad).
After glassing    this cone  for a while I thought I could see one in the trees so I started hiking up and glassing as I went. Did some New Mexico stump shooting too.
     
The only sheep I found was a carcass. But I loved the time out.
   
   
   
Then the storm started moving in. Got to see a snowbow.

Dude,

Can you actually believe where you were back so few months ago as you sat taking those pictures?

Amazing! God is definitely good all the time!

That Terrain looks steep.(did I spell it correct?).How were you planning to approach the animal if you found one?There seems to be no cover.
