Stone Sheep Hunt Day 11 Aug 7, 2008

 Up at 5:45 am, headed up at 7:20 and reached top in an hour.  (30 - 35 degree grade)  Without her two walking sticks Vikki is sure she couldn't do it.  The top is barren and the sheep see you from miles away. 

We hunkered down in a hollow with the wind taking our scent away.  At 10:30 Vikki nudged Bryan awake.  Away over on the Limestone Mountain one Light coloured Ram had appeared.  Then within 20 min. another dark Ram appeared way down by the pond.  He joined up with the 1st and they headed straight towards us.  The Light Ram had a tight curl, the Dark ram looked just about legal.  Bryan let them pass.  He made a rock Blind and Vikki collected moss to line the shale floor with to make it silent.  It became quite windy!!!! so we headed down.  Got another sac of water from the snow pack.  Back in camp at 3:40. At 8pm we spotted two Rams on the East mountain above camp.   During the day we had also seen 6 Ewe Sheep and 1 young Caribou, also had a Robbin in camp.
