Frans,
What do you want with those poor little sheep anyway?
What did they ever do to you?

After moving from BC to Alberta I noticed the hunting pressure on sheep is really intense here. might have something to do with the fact that we have a whole province of sheep hunters hunting a very small area on the eastern front of the rockies, and half of it is national park or no hunting areas. In BC I could hunt sheep a mile from the road, or even from the road, and never see another hunter in a lot of those places except when they drove by to hunt somewhere else. BC has huge areas to hunt sheep and about the same amount of sheep hunters Alberta has. At least it seems that way to me. Still after about 7 years of hunting here I have found a couple spots that most others seem to ignore, and they're not far from roads but then again most sheep hunters don't like still hunting sheep in the timber, but it seems that there being so much hunting pressure in the alpine seems to drive them down into it to hide. A lot of old rams seem to know it is safe to stay in the parks too.

And oscar...

You're going to tell us where to hutn sheep a mile form the road in BC, right?

Unless you are talkign Pavillion..That's pretty close to the road!

Hello;
Sheep Hunting in Alberta boils down to, the first week, we kill the young rams too stupid to go to the sanctuary of the park and the old rams too crippled to make the trip. The last week we kill the one who are over anxious to get on with the rut. That leaves a lot of rams we never get a crack at, Just ask the lucky ones that either win or buy the after season Hunt permit.

Gates, I guess you could shoot sheep from the road at Pavillion, but they usually are sickle heads although there have been the odd decent ones gotten there over the years. I never said the roads were paved. There are some old roads that lead to the areas where the big ones summer that come out of the hills after the hunting season is over to join those herds. I gave some general information one time but I won't draw a map. If your in the area look around you and think about where you would go if you were an old ram, maybe some old road might lead you there, or maybe you drove by them on your way there. The big ones show up in the most unlikely places sometimes. In southern BC lots of sheep are killed near roads. Quite a few Goats too.

No. 3 Highway just West of Keremeos, Gates. Of course it is almost straight up!! derf

Frans, you are just not looking in the right places. If you want "Rams" you have to hunt in the Dodge dealers lot! You have my permission to harvest as many as you like! derf
