Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Sheep

Two buddies, two sheep tags, two amazing adventures. We are joined by Nate and Paul to hear their sheep hunting stories from this past fall. Out of the 80+ sheep tags awarded in Idaho in 2019, co-workers, Nate and Paul were lucky enough to both get drawn.

Our buddy Colter Ingram joins us to discuss his journey hunting Bighorn Sheep in Idaho's backcountry this fall. From the moment Colter found out he drew the tag, he put in countless hours scouting, e-scouting, networking, and doing everything else he could to make his dream hunt become a reality.

Sheep hunting in the Frank Church Wilderness, as you will hear in this episode, is the best and worst of times. The country is big and tough. The animals are even tougher. Our guest, Darin Cooper, tells us about the sheep hunting adventure that he and his good buddy had this past fall.

There is a story behind every sheep hunt. These stories typically involve remote and rugged locations, challenging conditions, and additional elements of difficulty that tests the hunter's limits. This sheep story is all of that, and more — times two.
