I love the old contents from the OYOA series. I can't remember how many time I re-watch these videos. COVID sucks

[@ericrumpel3105]

Good ole down-to-earth hunt'n video,really as always refreshing!-Don't change a thing!

[@blaynemacpherson8519]

Right the camera guys. Apparently in my world the camera just follows you magically lol. Never thought of that. Thank you for all the great information that you provide on your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@powderhogg01]

when I lived in colorado, I lived in silverplume. likely I was there when you filmed this, in fact, you would have walked past my house on the way up that mountain.. I sure do miss that terrain.. having sheep out my backdoor.. good times

[@Orophile_303]

Whaaaat!! We were just up in silverplume and Georgetown.

[@MyEmily23]

This is an incredible show I will share it with my face book groups ! You deserve more views !

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thank you. And thanks for watching.

[@idaho2ndgens240]

Great video. Both my wife and I have been blessed to hunt bighorn in Idaho. Truly a hunt of a lifetime. What a great experience to see where they live and watch a big ram crash heads. Awesome....

[@johnthompson7811]

Great hunt. I camped and hunted sheep with my 13 year old daughter in the exact same place you first went to. She got her ewe sheep and I don't know who was happier. It's great hunting with your kid, especially when they love hunting just as much as you do.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Congrats to her. Hope you had better weather than we did.

[@williammawk1720]

Yeah, another great sheep hunt you were in on. I worked near there years ago in 1968 but got to do no hunting. I think Colo is probably the most beautiful of all the states although I have never seen the eastern hardwoods in the fall. I'll be leaving for Arizona for winter deer, javalina and quail in a week. I really enjoy your videos Randy, keep up the fabulous work.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@galereynolds4171]

You was hunting in my wife's back yard. She grew up just over the pass, we see sheep all the time over there

[@raghornhs]

I used to work in Granby, Colorado which meant I drove the road past Empire, CO up and over Berthoud Pass four times a month. In the year plus I spent working up there I saw more bighorn sheep near Empire than I have or will see again. It's spectacular!

[@luke-te3sr]

I just got done with a gunt in 18. Talk about packed with hunters. I tried to walk 10 miles in and still found hunters

[@raghornhs]

I worked for a year in Granby, Co and driving up over the pass I saw plenty of the herd that hangs around Empire. Amazing critters, they are!

[@claytonstephenson44]

"When you're least prepared is when the opportunity will present itself" I couldn't of said it better. Yesterday I missed a chance on an old 8 with a ton of mass because it was a half hour later than the camera had him on it the week before so I started packing up. I had just lowered my bow down when he came down a trail 4 yards in front of my stand. There was still plenty of light to see my sights.

[@WyoHomeing]

Awesome I drew my Wyoming bighorn tag this year...

[@daviddole5912]

This is my dream hunt, hopefully one day i will be lucky enough to draw a Big Horn sheep tag. Thank you for sharing.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

there are about 10-15 bighorn tags in Texas a year. Good luck getting one. Thanks for the video.

[@troywesterbur706]

The rams come down to the freeway in Idaho springs. I have lots of pictures of them in the parking lots. What a cool hunt.

[@Orophile_303]

Really?? I was in Idaho springs, silver plume, Georgetown, central City And black hawk didn't see a thing. Going out again this coming weekend how to see something.

[@muffintop420]

@@Orophile_303 yeah they are almost always close to the road near I-70 there and along I-70 in Glenwood canyon. My girlfriend and I always try to look for sheep when we drive to Denver.

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

I was linked back to this video via Sheep Week 2021. What an awesome experience albeit a frigid looking one. Congrats to you both on a nice ram and hunt.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Courtney was very lucky to draw this high-demand tag with the low points total he had. Was happy for him.

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Yes 9 points is much lower than the average for such a coveted hunt and species, even as a resident. You would know in the case of being a max point holder for moose in Montana. You have accompanied good people on some awesome sheep hunts, I am glad that you finally got to go on your own in Alaska a couple years ago.

[@adamschroeder693]

Great hunting show keep it up

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching.

[@HuntingTheWest]

Beautiful ram. Not easy to pull that trigger after waiting so many years. Can't believe the size of the rams you found dead.

[@HuntingTheWest]

+Chris Holmes doh, that comment was meant for the montana ram episode.

[@lr6857]

really like your vids keep up the good work! what would you say your favorite hunt was out of all of them??

[@blaynemacpherson8519]

That looked like an emotional hunt. It had its highs and lows. Two buddies having a great experience. Either you need a small camp or a bigger truck.LOL Two loads to get camp out and in each. WOW Do you workout for to get ready for hunting or your workout is your hunting? Congrats on a wonderful Ram.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I need a smaller camp and fewer camera guys with their camp and their huge pile of production gear. My workout is hiking the mountains behind my house. Thanks for watching.

[@N_Rebel]

I'm going to start putting in for sheep this year in Colorado. Hopefully I won't be 80 by the time I get that tag! Great video Randy... when did this hunt take place?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Good luck in that drawing. This was 2010.

[@henrycoughlan3453]

amazing video

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks. I felt lucky that Courtney would ask me to tag along.

[@henrycoughlan3453]

ya that is one amazing tag one of my dads friend got a tag and got one about two years ago

[@nwlah5199]

enjoy your videos

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thank you. And thanks for watching.

[@gunnarhanson4054]

truly my dream hunt

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Mine too.

[@jerrykan1316]

On your own with 6 guys plus :)

[@Karatosa]

Great hunt, really enjoyed watching the video.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching.

[@thewildoutdoorsman2370]

Dude that’s awesome not many ppl get lucky 🍀 to chase big horn sheep 👍🏻

[@Fresh_Tracks]

He was lucky, very lucky. Me, I'm still waiting for a tag.

[@thewildoutdoorsman2370]

Randy Newberg, Hunter i hope u get drawn

[@tannerswaringen6789]

Did he have any issues with a blued barrel in that kind of weather? Was he doing any daily maintenance while up there? I am getting a Howa 1500 Gameking but can't find an all weather barrel in my budget. Am I going to run into issues not having a stainless or cerakote barrel?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Take care of it properly and you should be fine. I have many of them with a blued barrel. I use a light oil rag when I know it might be bad weather. When I come in from bad weather, I immediately wipe it down with light oiled rag and also make sure it dries as fast as possible.

[@user-ev1mj6zl1t]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hello Randy, you are big hunter

[@wesleystout2200]

No orange needed for sheep hunting in Colo?

[@thecoloradooutdoors3468]

I go mushroom picking there right there where you shot the ram. LOL

[@Fresh_Tracks]

+The Colorado Outdoors - Aren't Colorado sheep results due in the next week? Hope you get to sheep hunt there, in addition to foraging for mushrooms.

[@thecoloradooutdoors3468]

+Randy Newberg, Hunter Im not going to hunt big horn, it was just i side comment. I have seen bighorns in that area but im not planning to hunt them. This year I applied for Colorado proghorn,elk and deer.

[@josephprocopio2930]

Made me happy to see you Gentlemen hunt like that,in germany we say Weidmannsheil

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thank you for watching.

[@patrickgallegos8246]

Randy have you ever thought of taking fans out with you on a hunt? I know me and a lot of people would love the experience of going along with you on a hunt.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Yup. Every year we, or our partners do some sort of sweepstakes. Last two years we took a winner to New Mexico for elk, this year we are taking a winner for antelope. And, we are working on another idea for 2018.

[@patrickgallegos8246]

Randy Newberg, Hunter How and where can I go to get entered in the sweepstakes I live in New Mexico

[@daltonv5206]

Randy Newberg, Hunter also interested in finding out where to enter for that opportunity. I'm a NY'er with an itch to hunt out west

[@nicholaslathen633]

Honest question. As a Colorado native and hunter, I thought you needed to wear orange in any big game rifle hunt. Is there an exception for Rams?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Exception for bighorns, and I think that exception applies to moose and goat, also.

[@nicholaslathen633]

@@Fresh_Tracks Thank you for the reply! Learn something new everyday.

[@burkejones8277]

I know a road like that in the Gila NF. I could literally hike up faster than we could drive.

[@markmuller3144]

Hello Burke, I have hunted S32 Archery twice. Yup I have driven up this road numerous times. On one trip up I stopped near the bottom to talk with a group of climbers before continuing on. As you stated, they were already at the top when I finally arrived. Its low granny gear all the way up.

[@MinimalistOutdoors]

What I am wondering, how easy is it as a non-resident to pull a tag for any other animal besides big horn? I really would like to expand and give my channel some new material and bottom line, see big skies and connect with another part of the land North America has to offer.

[@craigmurray5367]

bring a small set of radios next time

[@DrGaius]

9:35 I'm surprised you still have fingers with that battoning technique

[@user-mh8to9bc4s]

I'm still waiting for the time to come when uploaders agree we viewers prefer to dispense with the music and would instead rather just hear the narration and any other associated sounds. but I'm still gonna watch this video cuz it's really cool.

[@thecoloradooutdoors3468]

Do you think that place would have elk? Thanks!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Yeah, I saw some elk while we were sheep hunting.

[@thecoloradooutdoors3468]

Randy Newberg, Hunter Thanks for the reply and the info!

[@NerdMouth]

The real ram was the friends we made along the way

[@ericm425]

9 years seems like a very very short period of time before drawing a CO bighorn sheep tag

[@michaelthompson2992]

About how much do guides hunts like this cost?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

No cost. It wasn't guided.

[@joegalena3830]

I was hiking in a canyon in Colorado and I was looking around for a bighorn to take some pictures or just see one and I was on my way back and a bighorn female jumped out of the bushes

[@Fresh_Tracks]

They are cool animals. Thanks for watching.

[@xde1litexd237]

Did they kill one

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Yes.

[@toddturner1471]

Christian Serrano you're so stupid 😂

[@peterkrasnoff6728]

that pissed me of when Randy said there's rand right there and the guy housed sat there then put his eye and ear protection on

[@itsclainky3010]

9 years is nothing, I know people who have waited 15+ to pull the tag.

[@ericm425]

same. this guy got crazy lucky to pull at 9

[@Chukartramp]

randy is 😎, but he's no Steven rienella

[@cheryldey2580]

where is day light orange vest oops telling us you are above the law come on man

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Read the regs for moose sheep and goat. Orange is not required for those species. You might want to read the regs before making accusations. I take the law very seriously and no, I'm not above the law.
