Work has been keeping me away from hunting for the last few months, but i made up for it today. I got up on the mountain and started glassing at 6:30. Right off the batt i spotted two sheep at 1000+yds. I cut the distance in half and low and behold there were 15 sheep, three hogs and a few turkeys in the same clearing. I cut the distance again but the sheep put the slip on me. I have no idea where they went. But the pigs fed there way in front of my 308. One shot at about 200yds and i had one. She was a little small at 100lb but i can always work up from there. It looks like i'm going to do some smoking this weekend. When i saw that they eradicated the mountain again last weekend i thought i was not going to see anything but it turned out to be a great hunt.
I think i might need to get a range finder.
Good luck to everyone and stay safe out there.

Yup Mona Kea. I have a few pics on my phone and i'm still trying to get them online. I was suprized that it tasted so good. The wife even helped me clean my plate.
Thanks for all the help, i got most of my tips from this site.
Stay safe,
Greg
