Just a quick question to see if I'm on the right track here. This will be my first year sheep hunting and Iv been scouting lots in one area. I have found a group of 15-20 ewes and some small lams. The more I glass
The more I find ewes usually along the bottom of a drainage, but I have yet to see a ram. Iv been classing high and low, figured if I found ewes the rams can't be to far away?
New to hunting sheep but it's been fun scouting so far. Thanks for your advice in advance!
Rams don't like being around ewes in early fall.
Only in Nov.
Rams will be in bachelor groups as they call it .
I have talked to a few Bio guys that watched them over the summer and Rams are Quite Gay during the summer ,this might be why they don't hang around Ewes.
It's not a hard and fast rule. I have seen bachelor groups graze with Ewes, bug them a bit and move off. However generally Rams will not hang out with the girls, but if you are seeing Ewes you are in the right country.

It's refreshing to see the OP doing the work and asking legitimate questions. Keep up the hard work and scouting. I am sure it will pay off!
Watch those ewes tho , they can teach you a lot about the area and where the water holes and licks are. Rams will move in and out of those areas and when they do you will know the little hidy holes because you watched the ewes.
One of my best spots I have ewes all the time but the rams sit in the trees or under a real steep cliff that you can not see well. The rams come out and feed at first light and in the evening a bit but stay hidden for the most part.

Agreed. Just reading the original post gives me confidence this guy is going to find what he's looking for and connect. I can't wait to follow this thread when he uploads pics of the hunt and a ram at the end of it all.

This is false information. Come October you better be keeping an eye on the ewes cause them old rams may be with the ewes or within eye sight of the ewes. Your from Calgary, I would look in Cliff Creek, rams like to hang out in there.
