Oh what a beauty Steve !
Still some big rams taken every year, but as others have noted sheep hunting may have passed its zenith. Whole lot more sheep hunters competing for fewer big rams Pretty sure sheep hunter # are a lot lower than 15 to 20 years ago... Pretty sure you are as wrong as about every other post/declaration you have ever made. About five years ago I was part of a group working with ADFG looking at options and attitudes on AK sheep hunting moving forward. Sheep numbers are down half and hunter numbers are double from 20 years ago. Stop trying to be a big shot. I sat at the same table with you. Then you went to Lohuis house for beers. Great, and you refused to learn anything they had to say? And there is nothing you have posted showing even the slightest bit of background or native skill of use in said project. And more to the point, you have many statements showing you are an idiot. Congratulations! From your recent posts I made the mistake of thinking you were trying to get over your stupidity and actually listen. Guess it is time to put you back on ignore for good...

Sorry Artsy that I’m not a sheep that eats what you put out. You googled sheep hunter numbers to try to prove me wrong and couldn’t swallow the facts. Its ok, unlike you I don’t claim to know it all. Oh but you’re some big shot who sat at a table for two hours and answered predetermined questions about sheep hunting. I forgot you know it all. Laughing!

Two old goats, or one old goat and one young goat.

The front goat is awesome. The rear goat, not so much!

Tough crowd.
This is the goat my wife shot (same rifle as the sheep, but I didn't get any pictures with the rifle). Its a long story, but I'll try to get it posted eventually. I've gotten paranoid enough in my old age that I don't put pictures of other people on the internet, so you're stuck with pictures of me.

As a teacher, I don't get the time off that many people do when it comes to sheep hunting and hunting in general. I have a hunt planned for the end of August and beginning of September that will allow me to use all four of my personal days with labor day. I do get to talk to people and help them get started. One of the guys that I work with at SW was very apt student and listened to everything that I told him to do for preparation, tools, technique and etc. I guess I have to live vicariously through him. He did fine. He shot this guy at 30 yards up Shindata on opening morning. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/XYnhvbq/68940900-2372503309740257-6338813116859547648-n.jpg) I spent opening week of 2013 in that area. Stalked a couple of rams in that exact spot, but could not make them legal no matter how hard I squinted. Shindata drainage was filled with lots of young rams that year. Too many of them were almost full curl. Very frustrating week.
