This mountain range doesn't have natural water these are all at guzzlers. Have to pull the cameras by Aug 1st. We have a good idea of whats on the mountain just have to find them when the hunt starts in November. Only 6 tags in the area , not sure how many folks will use guides but this will be diy ( do it yourself ). Hardest part of this hunt might be finding ammo to hunt with. I keep trying to get the tag holder to push his hunt back about 2 weeks so we could go to the NFR at night during the hunt. If you have to go to Vegas might as well party lol. These pics are probably less then 15 miles from the strip in Vegas. Last edited by nvwrangler; 07/17/21 12:40 PM.

We meet and have talked to a couple of guides and the biologist while out on the mountain.

Its won't be a secret on what sheep are there it will be who can find them and get to them come November. Out of the 6 tags we figure maybe 1 other diy hunter the others will have guides. 1 or 2 hunters probably won't be as fit as they should be maybe even a couple more then that. He had 23 points to draw this tag and started gaining points when he was 12 so he's got a great shot at finding something he wants.

I'll try and wait patiently.
