If you draw a sheep tag around Cody WY there are good places to try your sneaking skills.
Why not just fly over the area and shoot them from a chopper ? You could remove all the hard work and hunting skill then.
Frowned upon by the WG&F. I rode 10 miles on horseback to that area. 5000 ft gain in elevation.100% do it yourself hunt. Big time grizzly country that complicates things. No hard work was removed.
If that's your ram in your avatar well done.
It ain't easy to pull those horns from the wilderness.
Yup that's him. Got him on the 4th trip in. 570 yard shot. If that bothers anybody, tough schit.

I have rarely hunted private ground in my whole life and have taken over 200 whitetails. With 1.4 million licensed hunters in this State back when I started hunting and 750,000 now, the hunting pressure is probably about as great as it gets anywhere. So great in fact that only 10-15% of our bucks ever made it past 1.5 years of age back then and today even with the big push for QDM and antler restrictions only 20% make it past 2.5 years old. Despite that I have managed to take several 3,5 years and older. Tell me some more about hunting pressured game.
You're the goofy feller yip yapin about driving your ATV around while mowing the lawn and the game does not take notice.
It's your story.

I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.

From a half mile away they don't perceive a threat.

I live on top of a mountain here. There is a field on the mountain across the valley from me. The near edge of that field is over 700 yards distant.
I'm having a difficult time imagining a field on a mountain and a "valley" that is less than 700 yards wide.
Yes, I know you said the field is "over 700 yards distant", but the notion is there.
You get to the bottom of one and almost immediately start up the next. There is a road between and thats it. You go downhill to the road from here, cross the road and you are going back up.

We've got more fuggin licensed hunters than you've got people. The more popular hunting spots close to the road you are not getting out of sight of another hunter all day and that's in the woods where you can't see over 100 yards. Tell me more about pressure dick head.
You fuuckers think this “out west” stuff is tough, head to pow, cruise beaches in a boat, shoot kelp drunk beach bears fresh outta hibernation, then, shoot diminutive deer, from July to December 31st!!! That’s tough shiit!!! Serious shiit!! I mean tough boolits for 70lb deer, limited time, this stuff is tough!!! Then having to drive to a range??? Really??? This stuff is “hunting”.. 😂😂

I did.
If you are zipping around in an ATV at 1/2 mile with game not giving you a second glance your living the Low Pressure Life.
It's kewl but you probably should understand it's super easy hunting.
Rifles would be unsportsmanlike and slingshots are really the only thing a good hunter would use.
But I don't judge, you do you.

That mountain across from me gets hunted hard during seer season. I know because I've hunted it plenty and taken several bucks off of it. That field is surrounded by thick woods. In fact the whole rest of the mountain is woods other than that one field. That's where most of the hunters are and most of the deer are killed. Despite that, deer will still come out in that field sometimes close to dark. If somebody isn't watching it from the edge of the woods and shooting at them immediately I can ride my ATV around the yard or drive my Jeep down the driveway and they won't even look this way. Folks around here don't shoot at deer a half mile away across valleys.
