Headed out Monday for big horn

I leave Monday for my first attempt at Rocky Mountain big horn . This will be my first and perhaps only attempt at big horn.

I am not in the same physical condition I was in August when I failed on Dall sheep in Alaska. While in Zim, I walked the hills in Dande often covering 20 miles a day with no problem. Since I got back, I have not exercised my usual amount due to work, deer hunting and illness . I was down for a out a week with infections in my sinuses, both ears and my upper respiratory tract. I think I will be fine .

The down side is that this screws up prime time deer hunting for me. I recon hunting big horn instead ain't bad

I did desert big horn 3 years ago. Hopefully this will be as successful and fun.

I will report upon my return.

Good hunting.

It is not enough to fight for natural land and the west; it is even more important to enjoy it...So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends...

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

I am headed to Utah. I took the desert sheep there 3 years ago Saturday.

I have a cameraman going. Hopefully this will turn out good. I hear that the rams are fighting big time. This might be interesting.

Ernest, I will take you up on the Crown & 7!

Good luck Larry. I too leave Monday for a mule deer hunt in Montana. At 66 with a bum knee, I don't know how many more times I can chase mulies around the Badlands.

We went to the island this afternoon . We saw a ton of sheep. Unfortunately the largest sheep noted in scouting appears to have broken most of his right horn off while fighting.

The mule deer we saw were incredible.
