Thread: Wild sheep stalking tips

Hi fellows,

I went out on a wild sheep mission over the weekend. Plenty of signs were seen.

Heard a sheep (or multiple sheep) calling. Couldn't see it, but I reckoned it was no more than 200m away. Attempted to stalk it, but it must have kept running in circles around me, as the calls ended up coming from all directions. After over an hour of playing cat and mouse on steep terrain, I eventually figured they must have noticed my presence right from the start, and were just playing games.

They are definitely there. But not sure what I'm doing wrong. I was either hunting into the wind or a cross wind 70% of the time.
(It wasn't possible to hunt into the wind 100% of the time because the terrain was steep as hell at some locations, so route choices were often limited).
Also tried to stay away from the middle of the clearings and moved along the bush edges as much as possible.

Unlike deer, pigs and wallabies, the wild sheep seem to be pretty active throughout the whole day. Does anyone have the same observation?

Any tips for stalking them?
Thanks!
