Default Getasheep Willmore 2014

Got in a few hours ago from Willmore. My first trip there, such beautiful country. Nice to be hunting Bighorn a little further from the beaten path. Went in on horse back Aug 22 to a base camp then spiked out from there. Quite the experience, some good, some bad. But I got to see some amazing country. As for the hunting. Saw more ewes, lambs and banana rams than I can count, seemed every bowl had sheep. Nothing legal or even close to legal. Some shots in the next valley so I know there are Rams in there. Unfortunately I couldn't stay in any longer as I have limited ability to be away from work and family for too long. Still have a few days at the end of October so hopefully I can get out one more time for Bighorn. Hard to be a sheep hunter and live so close to the Sask border! ha ha

A few pics:

Thanks for the photos. We were in a few days prior to the open but had to come out a bit earlier than yourself for work reasons. I hated to leave and cant wait to go back in again. Nice to go to someplace that really feels like wilderness.

Great pics and thanks for sharing them.
Once again I couldn't arrange time to return to the Willmore. Hoping to get way back in there again next year though.

Sorry to hear, I was waiting for a trip report from you to be coming later. Guess it will have to wait until next year.

My brother and an old friend are up in the Wilmore as we speak, fifth year in a row. Hoping they tag one this year.
