[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 228125, member: 1007"] LOL!! Welcome to the great world of sheep hunting. I learned very quickly that in sheep country, nothing is ever what it appears to be untill you are neck deep in it. This is also classic sheep hunting. Even for dall sheep which are white and you would think they would be easy to spot. The one thing they will do often is roll around in the dirt and gravel and they become the same color as the rock around them. They can be near impossible at times to find escpescially when it is only their head overlooking from their perch that is visible. The solution I have found to solving this is 3 things. Use the VERY best optics available. The Swarovski 15X56's and the EL 10x42's and the Lieca Ultravids have been among the best sheep finders (IMHO). The second key is no matter what the glass you decide to use is to mount them on a tripod with a pistol grip style "ball head" ([url=http://shop.outdoorsmans.com/product.sc?categoryId=2&productId=1]Click here for a quality head[/url]). The 3rd key is to be comfortable while you glass. This ensures you hang out on your vantage long enough to find success in finding them. Get comfortable, use steady glassing tequniques and use good glass and you will find them. Once you find them you can almost always formulate a plan. The key to success is finding them. Dont underestimate a good map either. [/QUOTE]
