Today there was a little fresh snow on the mountains. On our way up Slaughter we crossed fresh wolverine tracks. Today Pat Garret (Gunslinger to AO folks) joined Matt and I. Up on Slaughter we saw some small rams and ewes but nothing left the mine. The 10 wolves we saw yesterday finished off an old ram to the east, ravens were all over the remains.
Over on Hot Rocks we glassed the young fellow as he filled his tag and as we watched them packing down we saw several rams start to move up so we spooled our rags down Slaughter and up Hot Rocks. We passed within 100 yards of a young ram at the top of the pass and another the one in the picture came up and checked us out while we sat and watched a nice ram bedded below. The ram was 90 yards on the mine but when he got up the ewe with him took him down the mountain. Dang! Tomorrow is another day.
