"Out On The Mountain"

      I hope that everyone is enjoying our Western Trophy Hunter Bighorn Journal/ Blog. Thanks to Troy Scott and Southwest Hunting Adventures for his great work. As fellow guides we have always felt it is important to share as much as possible with one another and hunters.

     This past weekend I was "out on the mountain" again in Utah scouting for rams as we make preparations for our guiding season next fall. We have some great hunters booked and definitely look forward to the challenges of finding each one of them a Utah ram that they will proud of. It is always so important that as guides, we make our hunter's "once in a lifetime" experience a memory that they will treasure the rest of their life.

       Although the black gnat hatch was out and those little "no seeum's" darn near ate us alive we still had an incredible scouting trip. We put in some very rugged, tough backpack miles. In two days we saw 10 rams with 5 of them being shooters for Utah. I've attached a pic of one group that has a very nice ram in it. We did locate a brute of an old ram that was even bigger than this but were unable to get a photo of him. I enjoyed every minute of this backpack trip as one of my close hunting buddies from California, Dr. Chuck Jenkins, drove clear up here just to spend a few days out on the desert chasing around with a crazy sheep guide. Those are exactly the kind of special bonds that we establish in our close knit sheep hunting fraternity. Good luck and happy sheep hunting everyone no matter what state you are from!
