Ok Guys, so I have gotten the lucky card this year and drawn for 19A, South Fork of the Salmon, here in Idaho.
I'm putting together some plans for a first scouting trip but wanted to get guys thoughts on scouting techniques.
When purely scouting/glassing for sheep do you guys like to glass up or glass down/across from a high point? What sorts of metrics influence your decision on something like that?
Additionally, do you typically glass solely with a spotter or sit behind a pair of binos mounted on a tripod? I'm leaning towards this because of the less strain in long periods of glassing
Maybe a dumb question but are you glassing at other times of the day besides the handful of morning and evening hours? I know they bed during the day and obviously you could glass up a bedded ram but would I be better served doing something else toward scouting during the day like trying to find sign?
Thanks in advance for the help!
