The single wall shelters and bivy set ups are a good shelter system to start with. That Silex looks good. I would want to be able to sit up in it without my head hitting the sides or top of it. The floored shelters are usually more comfortable, especially in bad weather and in early season when...
Nothing exciting to report in terms of Rams. I got into the basin I wanted to glass and found a nice billy goat on the edge of it. It rained or hailed every afternoon I was in there, but cleared up nicely. Its been a fun area to explore so far. I have time for one more trip end of next week if...
To follow up on this, I made a trip in last week for 6 days. It was very hot in the afternoons, 75 feels like 95 up there. I spent 4 days in the area I had seen Rams before on past scouting trips and only found a group of Ewes, lambs, and a young Ram (bottom of pic).
I hiked to a different area...
Yes, they can get pushed around by wolves and human pressure. In these OTC units I hunt, I’m typically only interested in the upper end of the drainage where the highest water source is. I glass it in the evening after hiking in and the following morning usually all from the same spot. Sometimes...
I find them in deadfall a lot. They usually bed in the shade. I spend a morning and an evening glassing a drainage in October. If it’s an OTC unit the hunting pressure in October will effect the older bulls pretty quickly after opening day.
I’m not sure what the scores are on these, but I will be happy with any of them when I hunt this unit in a couple weeks😁 I think the one at 9 o clock is the biggest.
I use various combos of a 3 glove system. Mechanix gloves, a merino liner glove (either thin or thick military type pending weather), and Kryptek bora overmit.
I got the Kuiu's when they first came out and have really liked them, I won't go back to the non zip either. They are very convenient and I tend to be more comfortable because I take them on and off more. I blew out the knee last season, I think I got about 4 years or so out of them so I'm...
I drew one of the sheep tags😁 and I have already scouted it in years past and located Rams. I will for sure make a scouting trip in July though.
I’m curious how much meat is on a Ram as compared to a Buck? I want to get an idea of how many game bags and what size to carry during the hunt.
My second season with the Kryptek Bora. I really like them for cold wet weather. I will still use a merino base layer under them if I’m sitting and glassing.
FCEL is getting beat up today, I‘m thinking this is a buy opportunity. All stocks are overvalued in this market. I JP Morgan is just creating a buy opportunity for themselves with their article. Thoughts?
The BTC sector is getting hammered today. I went ahead and started positions in BFARF and ARBKF since everything is discounted. I’m optimistic it will rebound if Biden announces more stimulus money this week.
