remind me what you wanted those for? Amanda

I went out to film these bighorn sheep near Roosevelt lake a few months ago. The night before I had seen a group with several nice rams that I hoped to film. However, I couldn't find the big rams the next day, but still got some nice video of a smaller ram and a neat white colored ewe and her pale offspring. I really enjoy watching sheep doing their thing. It is amazing to me how they move and climb around on the rocks. I like how they don't seem to care at all when they slip. It's like they figure they won't fall very far before they get their balance again. All the rocks were very loose and it was very noisy listening to them move around. watch the video: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/video_clips/...evelt_sheep.wmv Some pics:

I will get you one! Amanda

I am sure we are all looking forward to hearing of your adventures when you get back!! Amanda

LOL!! Poor moose. He must be really lonely! Amanda

I always love your trail reports Doug! Thanks so much for sharing your adventure! My husband works at Boyce Thompson Arboretum, so we have hiked Picket Post and Arnett canyon and some of the other country back there. Lovely scenery and rugged country. Amanda

LOL!! Flip-flops??? Really? Man, sometimes I wonder about you! Too bad you didn't pull any lunkers out of your new fishing hole. Is it going to be worth another try? Nice snake pics! Amanda

Very cool that a CouesWhitetail.com member helped you out Glad you made it home safely and even got to see some great sheds! Amanda

That was easy!! Glad you got it figured out. Now we expect to see great photos mixed into your messages Amanda

Hope you enjoy your birthday Snapshot! Amanda

I pray for the best....terrible to think of such a young child in so much pain. Amanda

here is the photo that the AGFD biologist (Jon Hanna) took of the white ewe when she was a lamb in 2006. Apparently this colonizing herd is of uncertain origin. There are populations of Rocky Mtn Bighorn and Desert Bighorn that could have contributed to this colonizing herd. Some genetic testing shows that they are more likely Rocky Mtn bighorn than desert. Having the two subpecies so close together could cause mixing of the subspecies that could cause biological problems as well as make the sheep ineligible for B&C recordbooks. I hope that doesn't happen. Amanda

Ok, tech support says they added a little code to the forum and are asking you to try again and see if anything changes. If not, they say, visit the link below and it's supposed to reset it for you. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...amp;mode=linear

Cool! Wish I had seen the article.... SpotNStalk, did you post your sheep hunt story here on CW.com? If so, please post the link to it so others can read it. And if not, perhaps you would like to share with us? Amanda

Perhaps the cookies just are not clearing on your computer? Another suggestion tech support has is to try viewing the forum using another browser. If your main browser is Internet Explorer, then try Firefox. If you don't already have Firefox you can download it for free, search the internet for it. But if you already have it, just visit the forum using that browser. Amanda

how about throwing the computer out the window and then getting a new one?? LOL!! I don't know what to tell you now. I will let tech support know their options did nothing. Amanda

I helped with a kid's hunt up there last Sept. He got some shots but didn't kill anything. Fun hunt, but the bulls weren't bugling real hard. Amanda

I talked to some biologists at AGFD about the white ewe and one of them had taken a photo of her as a lamb in 2006. You would think it would be hard to survive being a white ewe, but she seems to be doing fine. Amanda

I hope you have a great coaching year Amanda

I can't say I noticed anything in Globe. Amanda

Good luck!! I hope it all goes as well as possible. Amanda

Happy Easter to everyone! Amanda

LOL!! Great trip report Jim! Nice that you and your wife enjoyed a fine hike Seeing petroglyphs has to more than make up for seeing the snake. Amanda

Did you scream like a girl Coosefan? Looks to me like the snake was just out minding its own business too. We (or I should say our dog Julie) found the first rattlesnake of the season a few days ago. Luckily she didn't get bit. Taking the dogs to get the rattlesnake shot next week. Amanda

Good info. Thanks for the report. Gotta love a day on the lake with NO wind!! Amanda
