Having failed for 26 years now to draw a Montana moose, goat or sheep tag, I’ve decided I need to start doing the unlimited bighorn hunts before I get too old to get around in the high country. I am very serious about doing the Montana Unlimited Bighorn Sheep hunt in District 300 (Gallatin-Yellowstone) up Tom Miner Creek; it’s the early 10-day season that runs from Sept 1 to 10[SUP]th[/SUP]. I was somewhat familiar with the area 15 plus years ago, then lived over by Missoula for ten years and just got back into that country last year. I’m now in northern Park County and hiked some of the district around Sheep Mountain last September with a neighbor who had a tag. I’d go with him again, but he wants to hike or ride in every morning and back out every evening and I don’t think a guy would ever see a sheep doing that. I’d like to hunt it for real, which I figure requires backpacking in and just camping out up in the high country for a week or so. I’m fine with going solo, but my wife sure isn’t. She’s utterly terrified of grizzlies and thinks I’ll be instantly killed and eaten about five steps from the truck if I go alone. So I thought I would give this a try to see if there’s anyone who would like to partner up for this hunt come September, with at least one or two scouting trips in late August. I would also be open to trying the Gardiner District 303 unlimited hunt. PM me (Bob) if you have any interest in teaming up on such a hunt. Thanks.
