    Yep. I sure thought we'd find them in there.

      Today was also uneventful till about 30 minutes before dark. We got into a group of hogs and killed 3 of them and then we finally spotted a group aoudad. I really sucked it up and missed a shot at 500 yards.

      I was getting discouraged but after finally spotting some aoudad I'm fired up again.

        Lots of people jealous of your draw there. That's quite the potential for adventure! Are you not allowed to stay overnight in the compartments?

            You can't camp in the compartments. Most compartments it isn't necessary but as hard as it is to get in and out 4 and 5, they should let you.
            It could be pretty dangerous trying to get out compartment 4 in the dark .

            I'm pretty sure they took all the standby hunters. I might have to try this hunt again

                    I was walking the top of 5 yesterday and found where you guys cleaned your ewes. Congrats on the kill.

                    We found some aoudad today but they were right at 1000 yards and heading away from us.

                        Well I made it home empty handed. This is an awesome hunt. The park employees go out of their way to help. The accommodations were way better than I expected.
                        I met a couple of new friends and I got to hunt with one of my one of my best friends that I met on the first day of kindergarten about 36 years ago. He introduced and taught me how to hunt. We usually only get to hunt together now about every other year, so this was a great trip even before the hunt started.
                        We saw two decent groups of sheep. A couple of good rams. Had shot opportunities and killed some pigs. I really think we had figured the aoudad out and if the wind hadn't got up to 30 mph Today we would have had a good chance at them.

                        If you are trying for this hunt, start working out now. It's a pretty physical hunt.

                          Dang sucks you didn't get to kill an auodad but at least you got to shoot something for you trouble.

                          Buddy hunted out there the season before yours and killed a decent little ram, think he was in either 4 or 5. He was saying it was pretty rough getting in and out of there.

                            it was just at 19 deg. at 6:00am Thur. morning northeast. I just left the airport today and was wanting to ask about the hunting in the canyon. I will give this a try. sorry you did not score, but I love that place.
