Bighorn sheep unit 100 Montana

[Bigfishy60]

Recently found out I draw a unit 100 bighorn sheep tag!!!!!!

I haven't found a lot of information on the unit due to the low tag numbers they
give out each year... Was wondering if any one has some information about
the unit....

I ordered a map today and plan on talking to area biologist.. Been applying for three
years for a tag out west.... I had to change my underwear after I
found out the first tag I draw was a sheep tag

Thanks,

Brad

I am hoping my luck continues and I make it through
another hunting season without my wife tagging me over
the head with a frying pan...

Just put in all my vacation today for my sheep hunt, no
family trip this year.... Hope she understands, think I will
wait a while to tell her

Lucky guy Bigfish! Bruce (the biologist) in T. Falls knows his sheep and will be a great resource for you. Make sure to post some hunt pics this fall.

Just talked to Bruce yesterday and he was a great
resource and made me feel very optimistic about
getting a nice sheep....

Thanks for the congrats NoWiser, only wish I still
lived in Detroit lakes Mn it would be only an 18 hour drive...
I currently live in Northern WI and think its going to be close to
a 24 hour drive....

But it will be all well worth it!!!!!

So your a nonresident who drew a sheep tag after 3 years in Montana. You better buy a lottery ticket cause it's got better odds than that tag. Unfortunately I don't have any info to give but good luck.

Sorry I still don't have any helpful info but good luck.

No problem! I have talked with a few hunters. Yes I got lucky, max points but odds were around 1%, possibly a lot less, at most 2-3%. I have been training 6 days a week for years, cardio and free weights and learning the area. Sheep are in a "small" area relative sheep country. 20 square miles at most. 2-1/2 month season so plenty of time.

Good luck on your adventure. MTG

@DonV let’s see some photos and story of your ram?

We asked him on Bowsite to post the story and he did. Maybe he'll repost here too.

Sorry I forgot to post! I am happy to help anyone in the future FYI. I got a good ram for the unit. I looked over a lot of rams. I had ZERO interest in shooting one near houses and was very happy to find one no where near homes and very spooky. I found him in the evening without enough time to go after him that evening - not enough daylight. I was keeping an eye on him and 2 ewes and looking elsewhere. I could see them with my naked eye - 3 brownish blobs. About sunset I glanced over and the 3 brownish blobs turned into 1 and oranger. Panic set in. Got spotting scope on them it shee were gone and a mountain lion was looking downhill at where they had been! AARRRGGGHHHH I did not relocate them that evening. That was a LONG night - this was the best ram I had seen in a week and the best I could hope for in this unit.

The next day in the same area I spotted 2 young lions - most likely one was form the night before. My friend was able to locate the sheep again 2-3 miles away. It took all day and laying 125 yards away miserably uncomfortable for 3 hours while they bedded out of sight 150 yards away. Finally got my shot. Score 168
