Sheep Hunt 2011

[Bruce Culberson]

Here is a shot of the gear I took (minus the rifle):

And here it is all loaded into my LLBean pack (60lbs plus water & rifle):

Here is where we camped for 10 days:

Sometimes the weather was chilly:

Saw some lambs & ewes:

A non-leagal ram through the spotter:

Lots of hiking:

And the ram my friend shot:

Hope you all have a great season!

Nice ram your buddy got. How much water did you take with you? And what was the rifle this time? Same as the last, I imagine?

Cant believe you got a picture through a spotting scope.

How much water did you take with you?

Just 1 litre up the mountain as I had been there before and knew where to fingd it on the way up. We camped by a small stream and for each day of hunting I would pack the 1 litre Nalgene bottle plus one or sometimes two of the 2l water bladders that I took.

And what was the rifle this time?

What caliber rifles did you guy's take?

My friend had a 7 mag Browning, and I took a custom barreled 280 Ackley that I just got this summer - it wieghs just under 7lbs scoped.

Where/when was this hunt? Thanks!

It was July 31 - Aug 9 up in northern British Columbia.

Thanks for the comments & question guys.

Those pictures have me thinking of doing the same thing someday; everybody can dream.

Cool pics. Looks beautiful in a desolate and cold sort of way.

Super cool! What constitutes a legal Ram?

Super cool! What constitutes a legal Ram?

Either the tip of the horn has to extend above the bridge of the nose when viewed squarely from the side, or if the ram is 8 years old (or older) by counting the annuli on the horns.
