I drew my first sheep tag! Colorado S66, Mt Massive Wilderness west of Leadville. Anyone hunted the unit or have a friend who has that can give me any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I have hiked it quite a bit and hunted an adjoining unit but never saw sheep. I have heard they can be transient between adjoining unit across 82. It is big country. Some years they smoke them up there, and some big ones have come from unit. Good tag. Best of luck.
If it were me, and it was my tag.....I would focus my summer scouting on the west 1/8 of the unit, in the middle (N/S). This is almost a complete backpack hunt no matter where you go in the unit, and nearly zero moderately easy access to deep parts, but common sense to me would indicate there is a reason for an expansive piece of public land which is not part of a unit just west of 66......and I would venture to say what Sheep are in the unit, those Sheep "may" be pressured into the above mentioned area.
