[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 454688, member: 8833"] If you are talking about the area on the NE corner of Yellowstone National Park I can give you some input - none of it encouraging. The way it works is MT Game and Fish sell as many tags as people will send them money. There is a quota (say 2 rams - it has varied) and when the quota is met the season closes. It is very difficult to find a legal (3/4 curl) ram in the area. I have a cabin right on the South end of the unit and have horsebacked and hiked the whole area for over 20 years and have seen one legal ram in the fall while elk hunting. The rams hang inside the Park boundary for most of the year. I have a friend that has used my cabin for the last 4 years and although he generally has seen quite a few sheep has not seen a legal ram as of yet. It's a fun hunt but keep in mind you start hunting at 8000 ft and then go up from there so weather is always a key player no matter what time of the year. I have 2 outfitter friends that just cringe when they get a sheep hunter calling - they want the business but they also have to be honest with the client in telling them the odds are very small. Now that we have all the wolves up there - well enough said - I better not get started on that subject. [/QUOTE]
