gavindibb,
Thanks for posting on your hunt! I was in that country in 2021.
The pics of you and the ram are soo cool; the country and a great ram! Congrats.
Congrats on the ram and the adventure with your father and brother. Awesome.
That country in inspiring and also humbling. Thanks for sharing your story.

The hunt.
The weather started out great, warm and nice. Floating the river is was mostly very mellow. Leaning back, taking in the beauty and ruggedness, glassing a lot of country while sitting in one spot on a raft was sweet. However, we had to be on constant guard for getting the raft stuck on...

This is the story of my buddy’s Idaho sheep hunt, we will call him A. We met over 30 years ago after I moved from Idaho to Utah. We’ve had some great times over the years and have even been on some sheep hunts together. A is a pretty lucky guy. He has drawn a statewide deer tag, an expo...
