Red Mist Hunt

Sheep training officially got underway last weekend. We hiked the mountains to get the legs burning, honed up our glassing skills, drank from mountain streams, and tried out field shooting positions. We battled the “Taliban” in nice weather, but also in rain, mist, and windy conditions; we came back victorious but with more of the enemy still dug in awaiting another engagement next year.

It was a huge success with all of us shooting for the cycle (at least one marmot, one ground squirrel, and one pika). Acrobatic stunts were in pristine form for the day, and it wasn’t from any moves we were capable of doing…though we did assist in a rather explosive way. Wyatt Brown had the best shot of the weekend with a steep angled shot at 224yrds and only the head and part of a neck showing. We had to rock climb up there to confirm the success it was so amazing.

The dogs got a few snacks out of it and some sweet action trout flies will be manufactured from the harvest.
