 |
|
I finally gave up on drawing a ram tag, so applied for a ewe and got it the first year. We saw three rams and they were all below the ewes. This was the only band of ewes we spotted - there were 16 of them. They were at 12,000 feet on South side of Pikes Peak. One reason I picked Terry to do my guiding was because he was guiding a ram hunter right before me, so he would have a great opportunity to spot ewes. He is very familiar with this area, so all worked out well.
