Congrats.

I have no specific info on 27-1. I have plenty to offer on 27-2.


It took me 28 days to kill a ram in 27-2. My buddy killed one in 4 days. I also tagged a real nice billy in there.

There are some really big rams in there. Twice I was within 100 yards of large rams and the plans went awry.

Both rams and goat I took part in were killed in old burns.

Here is a pic to spark your torch.

Thanks for the help. Still waiting to hear from the guys up in Salmon. Talking to a few people that have been in there, but no one in the last couple of years, and this is the time that the success rates have gone up. Not sure if it is due to harder hunting or larger population?

Interested in what others have to say. There is a lot of preparation and info to sort through.

I will get some pics and info together and we can chat. I did not fill my tag but passed on two four year old dinks next to the last day. It was an epic adventure. Not a whole lot of animals period. I managed to see sheep on three different occasions though. My pilot told me that he had just taken someone out that spent twenty days and didnt even see a sheep. It is THE most rugged place to sheep hunt. I ended up doing close to a hundred miles and 12000 feet in elevation in 10 days. I wish I would have brought a fishing pole and less mountain house. We did eat grouse one day that was taken with a rock. They are DUMB there. I saw one elk from about a mile away. 10-12 deer only one of which was a buck. Far less animals than I thought. Also the constant plane traffic took me by surprise. At least 5-10 flights in and out a day. The outfitter there uses his plane to keep an eye on things. He was flying over my head every day. I talked to the "lucky" hunter at the airstrip before he left. He had paid 10,000 bucks for a four year old half curl. He said it was the only sheep he saw in 8 days. The outfitter was quick to call bullshit when I said I had see around 20 at that point. 4 from the landing strip. Not at all what I had expected. I will go back when I draw again. I like having the tag in my pocket and the chance of killing a sheep much better than waiting for a easier hunt. I was told by someone it was a three year hunt. By the third year you may get it figured out enough to kill a ram. I only could take 10 days because of moving and new job and family. Next time I will look at taking 20. I will post some pics or a video of the flight in. It is not for the faint of heart.
