Monday was my first day back at work so I have to post between jobs,as
I have been busy.

Day 4 was another long hard day.We are averaging 12 miles a day through
rough country.No legal rams...but we saw 7 rams of various sizes.The
weather was nice today,most of the snow melted,but the clouds at days
end look to be returning.

Day 5 RAIN AGAIN.We hiked up "brush canyon".A long hike that has
brush right to the head of the canyon.We are fighting brush till we
sidehill a steep elevation to top out.We spot a 1/2 curl ram at the top.But
the clouds come in and we can't see 100 yards.We waited an hour but
the clouds are not lifting.On the river bottom we spot a black wolf....
The hunt was on,for 1/2 hour I was a wolf hunter,but no luck.He just did not
get close enough.The weather was still looking iffy for the next day.
I was getting a little nervous with half the hunt over.

Heres a picture of some of the country we were hunting in.

Great stories and a wonderful trophy. Nothing like putting a sock in the fat lady's mouth just as she's getting fired up. Good going!
