Keeping A Secret....

[Hem]

Two days before season opener i went in solo to the same previous area.
Suckers vanished.
Night before opener at 5 minutes to dark thirty I spied some good rams on a ridge that was reachable for the first actual hunting morning.
Alas, I woke up to glass and nothing. Then glassing in to the sun. Then smoke rolled in.
I wandered for the morning muttering about seeing all those rams in my lap.

 

[Hem]

Decided to sneak in to this mini basin beneath where I saw the rams, in the afternoon.
I walked in to 15 ewes at 100 yards in the timber and was praying the rams had joined them. Single file they trotted past my gun barrel. Nothing.

Tonight's series features mostly pics.
I'm gonna condense. Rams playing hide and seek for three trips in a variety of locations.
The mountain weather is turning
Stay tuned to the arrival of snow.

Gotta make sure to convey the full effect.

I don't need some of you guys to go the path of a few people I know..." whats taking so long , don't you just go up on the mountain and shoot one?"

For the record I'm loving every single detail of this and am just needing more to feed my obsession. It kills me everytime you leave....

Sipping a beer impatiently waiting for this to continue. One of my favorite threads in a long time!

 

[MThuntr]

Now I'm drunk waiting for more.

Your killing me smalls!

 

[Hem]

Beer thirty.
Just messaged a fellow Montanan who gets it. Do I cook dinner or continue with the story?

 

[TRS_Montana]

Drink dinner and write!

 

[Hem]

Crap..I haven't eaten much for weeks.
Let's get this moving along. I will strive to wrap this up before the gun opener.
So the season is in motion and the rams have flaked out. Tested the waters in a few new places, but also going back to where I've seen the most rams.

There is so damn much beautiful country in MT I will never see all of it from any perspective. Thankyou for this.

Gotta keep grinding.

 

[timmy]

Keep this going through opener. Maybe it’ll keep some jock strap riders from going out in hopes that you finish the story.

 

[Hem]

And grinding...

If it is who I think you are talking to.... depends what the beverage is. Green cans?

Haha..nothing like the orange army on the opener.
