I’ll just say they were on the public, in a quota unit that hadn’t been filled yet. Nothing that nice in the group but I also didn’t spend a lot of time looking as I was driving.

They look bailing twine legal

One of those rams very well may be the twine ram

Customer at work shared this pic with. He said the ram was taken by Butte. No other info was given. Just wanted to share. Looks like a good ram to me.

Well congrats to the successful hunters this season. I was DEFINITELY not one of them. First year out was definitely an eye opener and even though I'm in probably the best shape of my life I need to get in even better shape before next season. These mountains are no joke. Season consisted of the wife and I getting hit with some elevation sickness along with one of the worst sun burns of my life and then absolutely trashing my feet. On the bright side I saw great scenery and had a big billy run right through camp.

Here are my submissions to the sheep hunt selfies and camp photo contest.

Looks like 501 had another ram taken.

I saw way too many of you in there this year. The weather was too nice for once!

Pro tip: maybe don’t sit on the skyline all day every day. If I can see you at 4 miles with my naked eye, the sheep surely do too. At all times I could spot at least 1 person on the skyline during every minute of daylight. Come on noobs, get it together.

I guess that’s what I get for hunting even remotely close to a popular area, which looked like a KOA campground this year.

I was pretty bummed when there were 9 trucks at the trail head at the end of a road that I thought only jeeps and atv's could make it up.
I was even more surprised that there was a dually .

You know I was just kidding, I binge read this thread when I first joined HT and super impressive to get it done in that country. You’ve got a very impressive trophy. I’ve gotta give it a go before it’s no longer a thing.

Nothing like bringing a 1 month old full size up a jeep trail..
-buff job ~$200
-new tire $405
-running boards carved out
-no sheep spotted “priceless”

Haha I did hear a rumor that someone rolled the tire off their rim about 5 miles past where they should have parked it.

 

[Snowhunter11]

In my case a small nail. The five mile to far part pretty accurate

I did a running board delete on my truck that I just got in June while I was scouting this summer.

Well guys,
after 100+ miles, 30k ft of climbing and 12 days experiencing some of the remotest sections of the Beartooth’s, this Alaskan has a newfound respect for you guys that have spent years in there. Did not spot a single ram. Loved every minute of it.

Was way more crowded in there this year than I have ever seen it in 22 years I have been messing around in there. I decided 5-6 years ago I would never drive my truck up that road again. After the damage to the road from the flooding 2 springs ago I can’t believe anyone got a stock pickup up there. I was shocked to see several there that still looked functional although their paint sure took a beating. Even with all that pressure I managed to come out heavy again, but it’s not my story or pictures to share so…only the dead ram knows.

Congrats to the lucky hunter!

Wait.. y’all don’t ruin paint jobs on rigs while hunting?

 

[B_R_AK]

My partner and I flew in from AK and bought a used white Toyota Tacoma that was lifted and set up for off-roading, with the intention of driving up “that” road… when we picked it up in Bozeman, it had California plates on it! . Needless to say, we removed the plates before parking way up there haha!
