Get the SheepFeet! I struggled with foot issues for years and tried store bough inserts, 7 or 8 different boot types, tape didn't work, braces didn't help, cortisone shots did. I love my SuperFeet and have 2 pairs.

Here's the link where they redlined all the April dates in 2024 when the season "starts" in several units.
Here's the reasoning https://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/Commission/2024/January/Item.18-Memo.pdf
Any place you can draw tag randomly or with a minimum # of years in would work . Utah, Nevada AZ - Wyoming is out for me in your situation. They only had 1 random tag last year. Colorado is reviewing there system so things may change at this point after 3 years of applying you are in the drawn...
In my mind it's worth entering <1Club even if you can't make the show.
From the rules - "The first name drawn for both <1Club and <1iClub is “need not be present to win.” Not only that, but the first winner drawn gets to pick which hunt they want. The next three names drawn do need to be...
Delete this thread or be prepared to be consumed by sheep fever.
One thing for sure states will and do change the game. I agree NM and ID are good for the random draw. I'd consider a multi pronged attack that included the WSF <1 CLub, multiple state wide sheep raffle tickets, as well as...
Never give up - You need to change tactics and location. See new country, glass long distance, look for a new hidey hole.
Like an old timer told me after an 8 day backcountry grind without seeing a ram deep in a wilderness area. "Now you've figured out where they are not." There's a lot of...
There is a sound biological reason for WYG&F to issue the tag. There is strong evidence that over population of ewes hurts lamb recruitment and overall sheep production. I've harvested 2 ewes in Colorado and will continue to apply for ewe tags here and in other states. Ewe hunts are sheep...
My first big game animal with a bow and first bow hunt ever. I applied in an area with the best odds of drawing but very poor harvest success. I think there had been 2 rams killed in the previous 10 years with a bow in the unit. It took me 23 days of hunting to find legal rams. I only saw 2 rams...
As a Colorado mountain dweller with 200 inches of snow a season I'd suggest a skid steer with a bucket and blower for deep snow and drifts if I can only have one. I have a multiple tool approach. ATV with a plow- never gets used. Jeep with a plow. Gets used 90% of time - Closed cab and...
I was able to pack a salted full-body cape and horns and skull in a 15 gallon bin. I weighed it at the outfitters camp and topped off with frozen meat to my weight limit. I salted the cape in the rental car and the skull was cleaned and boiled then taped to make it look clean
I also went the full custom with the Mtn Hunter Elite a year ago and have been super happy with them. Not the lightest but a great boot. I battled a nagging heel pain for multiple years - plantar fasciitis that was compounded by opposite side knee pain (cortisone shots every 3 months for almost...
Ewe tags are the answer- Once upon a time I picked one up off the leftover list. This year there was a 2nd choice ewe draw which means you could have drawn with 0 points.
Barely used. I only wore them a few times on short hikes. Used my own custom insoles so they are like new inside. Crispi Thor GTX 11/44.5 in Olive and Black. Retail for $310 most places - $200 TYD
