Default Fantastic sheep hunt

Just got back from sheep hunting.
No ram this year, seen lots just nothing I wanted to hang a tag on.
Horses did fantastic, lots of grizzlies this year.
Had a run in with a huge boar on the horse trail, popped over a ridge and there he was at 40 yards.
My horse was a bit ****ed, so up threw the trees we went.
Seen over 80 sheep, 16 rams
5 that were close or would have been squikers
Hope the pictures come threw.

Great one, Sir. All the right stuff there. Nothing like the sheep mountains with good horses.

Bronc riders think they have it hard holding on for 8 seconds on flat dirt with almost zero chance of being chewed on if they let go.

Sometimes its the adventure that makes the trip a success not just taking game.

Beauty country you folks hunted.
