    Best and worst hunting/outdoor writers

    There are some great recommendations in here. Any recommendations on where to start with Ruark? Near the top of my list is “Horns in the High Country” by Andy Russell. Andy Russell’s life story is incredible and he intertwined his sheep hunting stories with his research on sheep very well. I...

    Anyone been in lately? Would like to hear stories or see some pictures. These are the only photos I have that don’t show the full curl ram I’m holding off on shooting until next year…

    Where do you get your forecasts? I’m a fan of the NOAA forecasts but always like to see other sources. Does anyone have a report on the smoke? Gardiner has an AQI of 153 . Really bummed considering that things were going pretty well and that smoke is the only deterrent to staying out there.

    Can someone explain to me how the unlimited sheep, generally spending more time in the timber, develop darker horns due to sap? I've seen it mentioned several times here. Do they rub on trees like deer and elk???

    What do you wish hunting had?

    @PaulRevere Can you explain why shoulder seasons are bad? Does it just put undue stress on the herds?
