2011-03-09T17:49:00.000-08:00

I am told that SIX rams were taken out of Unit 27-1 this past season (Fall 2010). Whoa! I want to hear the stories. If interested in them being in a second volume on Bighorn Sheep Hunting in the Idaho Wilderness, contact me (through my profile here on blogger).

Nate's Early Hunt (2009) ... (Unit 27-1)

2011-03-09T17:46:00.000-08:00

Nate went in to Unit 27-1 TWICE in 09 ...

The blow-by-blow of his first hunt is fabulous, and is in `the book' (here). I want to publish a second volume when I get the blow-by-blow of the second hunt.

Travis's Hunt (Early 2009) ... (27-1)

2011-03-09T17:43:00.000-08:00

In Travis's words ...

" ... Well ...

... unfortunately no ram ... big beautiful country that enjoyed kicking my butt! ... we found ewes and lambs in other areas but just couldn’t find the rams."

" ... I must say I’m in the best shape of my life right now!"

Bryan's Hunt ... 2007

2011-03-09T17:38:00.000-08:00

Bryan and I went in there (27-1) in 2007 ...

Marble Creek Drainage

" ... I spoke with Jerome last night. He found those three rams on Saturday afternoon and killed a nice one. […] Keith and Cody left on Sunday (day after you). Jerome's son Bridger flew in to finish the hunt with him. The rams he found were the same ones I saw on Friday. Bridger saw some ewes from the top and called Jerome to him. The ewes went down and over a finger. They followed believing they might have saw a 3/4 curl. When they looked over the finger, they saw the 3 rams I found the day before. They were tucked into a little nook that Jerome says could not be seen from the river. The country was extremely steep and he missed with his first shot. He held 4 inches low on the second shot and killed him. The other two stood by the ram until they walked up to them and then moved only about 200 yards away and watched them butcher the ram. He's saying its a 170 class ram. The other bigger ram was 160 to 165. The small ram was just approaching 3/4 curl. I missed my opportunity but I'm glad that Jerome scored."

Mark's Ram (2006) ... OH, BABY!!!

2011-03-09T17:34:00.000-08:00

CONGRATS MARK!!!

Pictured Mark (on the left) with his fine ram taken Sept 2006.

Rams taken in 27-1 are no easy matter.

Congrats Mark - you beat the odds!!!

From 27-1 ... MY RAM

2011-03-09T17:30:00.000-08:00

I got a ram in 27-1, DIY, the first in modern history, from everyone I talked to, out of the Indian Creek Drainage.

I have been able to `coach' some other hunters for that Unit ... it's TOUGH Unit. The literature I generated related to preparing for and executing that hunt has been pretty popular. It is rolled into a book on Bighorn Sheep Hunting in The Idaho Wilderness now on Lulu (here) and Amazon. The book contains diaries of several hunts in Units 27-1 and 26.
