There's nothing quite like the Owyhees in terms of steepness and ruggedness. It truly is a unique geologic area. I have some good friends who own ranches in that country intermixed with BLM land. I would love to draw one of those tags one day.

Bob More likely sheepherders or ranch line camps. There are still a few old line cabins standing, more or less, out there. I've seen sheep herders stack up rocks just for something to do. They get bored out of their minds out there alone all the time. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.

Dukx, WOW, thanks for the report and pictures you sure earned that one. I was impressed at seeing the face on that cape. I wish I could skin that well. I guess I should kill some more stuff and get more practice. mike r Don't wish it were easier Wish you were better Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that. Craig Douglas ECQC
