The Patriarch of the Hot Rocks still reigns. In 2006 TJ and got several minutes of video tape of this old boy. He was wider and taller then but much heavier and gnarly now.
The sheep are moving more today, mostly little rams and the only one we saw of the mine was over on Luscar. We climbed Slaughter again and probably will again tomorrow as we left a ewe bedded near the peak.
Funny story: Matt peaked out at the pass before me today and the next thing I heard was "Dad there is a cougar here!" The cat had started coming at him until he yelled and then it took off. Meanwhile Matt was trying to get his pepper spray off his belt and the damn thing came apart. I laughed and said it was lucky it didn't blow up in his hands - that cougar would have been eating Mexican!

Wow, that buck is unreal! We made it to Ogden today and will head for Arizona tomorrow. Fenson killed a ram yesterday and we didn't get it out till late last night so dragging our tails a bit today....hope your luck improves.
What a hawg of a buck! That is almost as exciting a having a 438 late season sheep tag. Ok well maybe not that exciting.
