There is nothing quite like sheep hunting. This year my friend Chad and I headed to Northern B.C. to chase Stone’s Sheep with our bows. This is the story of how our adventure unfolded.

Once again you have given us another great adventure! I really appreciate your storytelling and the fact that you “keep it real” with your followers. You are one of the few that I look forward to watching. Thanks for your content and good luck for the rest of you 2023 season!🤙🏼

Sincerely appreciate the feedback!

Appreciate your commentary at the end. I can well identify with people. ENJOYABLE fishing and hunting is getting AWAY from people. Which is tough to do. So I settle for second best. I watch videos like YOURS in the total privacy of my house.

Nice videos, thanks for posting. It's been 40 years since i hunted a stone. Things have changed. I congratulate you for working so hard. I was lucky to take a 40 inch ram and on a couple other successful ram hunts with others. I would never have tried this with a bow. You guys deserve a ram far more than I did. Cheers from Yukon. Btw I took my ram on the last day of the season, think Oct 20. There was 6 inches of snow. Later may be better. Guessing your not in the Rockies

@MindfulHunter 9 месяцев назад

Congrats on your ram! My time is coming ;)

@mattydelong 11 месяцев назад

The wrap up analysis was spot on considering the two halves of a hunt and maximizing opportunities. I know I often want to let the hunt come to me while the real predators amongst us pounce and make something happen when the situation is close enough they can create success. Thanks for the content and the thoughtful process!

Sweet film mate- makes me think to not take the shit weather on my own hunts in New Zealand to heart and persevere keeping the spirits high. Some nice looking sheep in the shots too! Someday I must get over there and have a crack.

@josephwalters4016 11 месяцев назад

This might be my favourite film of yours so far. I enjoy your hunt films probably more than any other hunting content out there and your sheep hunting films are definitely the ones I look forward to the most. I’m definitely biased because Stone’s sheep and Stone’s sheep country are my favourite quarry and setting… but yeah, fantastic stuff! Finding that balance between the presence of game and minimal pressure is definitely the trick. That country you were in is super cool… definitely prime sheep habitat. Looking forward to your coming hunts! All the best as the season continues 🤙🏻

Another great film. I say congrats because it was your best sheep hunt yet. I like how you reflect on the emotions and can work Thru it. I know I gave in/ gave up on a backcountry elk hunt and the whole ride home from Wyoming…I thought I should have stayed in it for that last 1.5 days. I listened to guys get into a herd my last day less than a mile away I’m guessing as I sat there about 1500 feet below them thinking dammit as the sun was fading out.

@adamvisser9815 11 месяцев назад

I don't know if you have heard about this or not but i have an older hunting guide friend that talked about hitting 2 rocks together to bring sheep to him. This especially worked in the seep rut. It is supposed to imitate the horns hitting each other.

@MindfulHunter 11 месяцев назад

I could see that working. Similar to rattling antlers for deer.

@adamvisser9815 11 месяцев назад

My buddy also recommend that if the call of ram didn't come by the grab bigger rocks for a different tone. It's a nugget that I think could work.

@adamvisser9815 11 месяцев назад

Sorry, class of ram

@Mike69108 11 месяцев назад

Finally some bow hunting sheep content

@MindfulHunter 11 месяцев назад

You can count on much more after this. One of the coolest hunts of my life!

@dirtfishingdad_2_34 11 месяцев назад

“How many people get to do this?” I say that to myself all the time, even on scouting trips and shed hunts. How many people get to do this? How many people wish they could be outside, but can’t physically do it. How many are to “busy” with work.

@MindfulHunter 11 месяцев назад

💯gotta remind myself to be grateful.

@tomasfarr3446 11 месяцев назад

Hi Jay, Excellent job on this one mate. You can't win them all but still would've been awesome hunting in that country. I did notice on some camera angles that the top of your backpack frame looked really low like in line with your neck. Is that normal because the top of my k4 frame is in line with my ears. Thats with it unloaded though. Just curious if I have made an error with my newly purchased k4 pack. Thanks mate and keep up the great work

@MindfulHunter 11 месяцев назад

I have a pretty long torso. Ears are better than shoulders. You want between a 30 and 45 degree angle on your load lifters.

@leroybrace9236 11 месяцев назад

Enjoyed watching all that goes into these types of hunts, the good, bad and sometimes ugly. It’s not always the kill that makes a great video. For me I enjoyed your journey and the kill would have just been the bonus.

@matthewpeschke 8 месяцев назад

looks like you took a hilleberg Niak a few years ago. How would you rank it compared to the Sea to summit and the argali? thanks.

@MindfulHunter 8 месяцев назад

Three very different shelters. Niak is bombproof. Telos offers a good blend of durability and weight. Owyhee is the ultimate lightweight, roomy shelter. I have reviews on all three on my channel.

@matthewpeschke 8 месяцев назад

@@MindfulHunter I've listened to the reviews over the past couple years. Thanks for putting them together. If you had to pick one for August sheep, which one would you go with?

@MindfulHunter 8 месяцев назад

@@matthewpeschke depends on your risk tolerance and experience. Niak is the safest bet.

@kevinmccollum514 11 месяцев назад

Any sheep hunt is better than no sheep hunt. Why the bow though? Was it a bow only area? As for people, always the challenge with any hike in hunt.

@MindfulHunter 11 месяцев назад

I prefer bow hunting to rifle hunting.

@KUSH57AR 11 месяцев назад

Enjoyed the film. Hopefully with a full stomach and sleep in your own bed, the memories turn sweeter than when staring at sleet and pressure.

@CD02 11 месяцев назад

Type 2 fun

@headsortails3703 11 месяцев назад

Putting a video on the internet of this area probably won’t help the hunting pressure you spoke of. Just my 2 cents

@MindfulHunter 11 месяцев назад

It's a fair point man. And something I struggle with every time I make one of these films. I try to be as respectful as I can to the places where I film.

@headsortails3703 11 месяцев назад

I guarantee there will be even more people in there next time you go and it’s already a gongshow in there

@sledbc 11 месяцев назад

I think you're confusing rifle hunting with bow hunting. The people that you bitched about that approached you are successful sheep hunters in that saddle, unlike yourself. Next time you're up North here, try being polite and respectful to those you come across, maybe you'll have more success. Best wishes on your next hunt from here in Northern B.C.❤️

@MindfulHunter 11 месяцев назад

I don’t disagree that I should not have lost my temper with those two dudes but I ran into 8 other hunters on that trip and had great, helpful conversations with all of them. I still see no excuse to walk up the front of a hill in broad daylight to talk to two other hunters who are clearly sitting on sheep less than 100 yards away. That’s just a ridiculous thing to do no matter what weapon you are carrying. They were camped less than 1km from my tent. Why not just come over for a chat that evening?
