Well thanks for the advice...or lack thereof.. except for JRS coming clean...

I am willing to put the time in and glass, hike, etc. but having never hunted sheep my plan was to pick a range and start from scratch. Just looking for a starting point is all.

Let me rephrase my question and see if it helps.

When is it worthwhile to start glassing. I know a guy could be up there all summer watching sheep but are they moving to different ranges later in the summer/fall when general seasons open and if so what type of terrain to they prefer?

As a deer hunter my whole life (one antelope) this the the year to expand my hunting horizons to all the other big game we have here.

As they say in Motown "ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough"
