I see powerlines behind that one. Is that one of the sheep that comes down to lick road salt in the winter?

For anyone thinking about applying this is not a region 5 ram
Next time just steal them from other people's instagram accounts. Seems to be a good way to get likes.
To clarify, I wasn't calling you out @Mansize.

Kind of like a nudie magazine, more pictures than talk, which is okay with me by the way.

The worst thing you can do is go look at a bunch of youtube video's and pics or rams.......then go hunt the unlimiteds.......After a few days you realize that you are not in the same location those video's and pic's were taken. Maybe download the video's and take them with you so you can remember what a sheep looks like.
Ok now we know why @MTGomer killed one

There's gonna be a similar photo in 21. We'll be passing the whiskey around in September......
I like the sounds of that. Don't forget the cigars. I think Gomer and I burning one down the night before was a good omen.

The key is just being able to finally open the bottle. Regardless of how many years. Most don't ever get the chance of success in the UL's.I’ve got an airplane bottle of 28 + year old scotch that will not be opened till I punch a sheep tag in the unlimiteds. It’ll probably be much older than 28 when it gets opened.

To me, that looks more like a ram that might inhabit, at least seasonally, one of Montana's unlimited units than some of the studs in pictures others have submitted. Moreover, the background appears appropriately vertical!

So, please tell me, where does one obtain those bionic ocular implants--AZ?

What brand? Are you a first class flyer geetar?
I'll admit that I haven't been on a plane in over twenty years; but I still have to ask, which airline even offers such fare?

This has been a fun thread to lurk in. For yall that chase sheep in the unlimited units, I have a few questions.
What time of year do you like to go?
Do you ever carry a black bear tag, or is it a strictly grizzly area?
I think that's all I got for now. I'm just curious about it, I admire yall for the attempts.

Mid September depending on weather conditions. Yes you run into black bears and some giants too. I also carry a elk and deer tag as well mainly because I just haven't been out to hunt them.
The fact is its up to you to make that call. Do you want to harvest a bear and essentially end your sheep hunt? Or a bull or a buck? If that thought process crosses your mind in there then you better assess your sheep hunt situation.
I've seen guys punch tags on other critters causing them to have to pull the pin. Not one of them has said they'd gladly do it again.....
Depends on the unit. Season opens September 1 in one of the units, and September 15 in the other four, and in most cases, you're better off getting out there at the start, since it's a quota and can close early on, but it also depends on the weather and seasonal sheep movements.
There's some Hoss black bears, but I wouldn't personally end a hunt to shoot one. No option (yet..?) to tag a grizzly- maybe some day.

It's been 20 years since I bought an unlimited sheep tag, but when I did, I'd go opening weekend. Many years ago some of the units didn't reach their quota and stayed open from Sep 1 to the end of November.
I usually had my deer and elk tags in my pocket, and one year by day 3 I hadn't seen any rams and shortly after I left my tent a 340 inch 6x6 bull elk come bugeling through the timber toward me. I first saw his ivory tips, then his dark brown antlers, and when he stopped broadside about 75 yards in front of me I couldn't resist and a 117 grain Sierra GameKing bullet dropped him in his tracks.
Another year I drew a goat tag in an unlimited ram unit so I also bought a ram tag there. Back then unlimited ram tags were OCT and you could buy them after the draw results were out.
I never saw rams and goats close together in that unit. I also didn't want to shoot a goat with short hair so the first two months of the season I left my goat tag at home and basically carried my sheep tag while I scouted for goats.
I shot my goat on the 14th of November. It was -5* F with 2' of snow on the ground and he had LONG hair.
I've seen both black and grizzly bears in the unlimited sheep units, but have never been bothered by them while sheep hunting.

Thanks,Didn’t come from an airline I just bought the small bottle in the local liquor store. Just call it airplane bottle cause it’s 50 ml size. At least that’s what they call that size here. Maybe it’s a southern thing. I think it’s Johnnie Walker blue label. It’s $200 a fifth. I just have a small one to keep with me. If say like in 20 years i finally punch a tag I’ll bust it open on the mountain.
Sounds like a good plan; be sure to shoot photos, video or holograms if it takes that long--I hope it doesn't because I'd like to still be around to see it.
