The other day an old hunting partner of mine, Ben Olson called me back on an issue that I had.  We do not get to hunt or golf together much these days, but we do get a call in every so often.

Ben was telling me that he was over near Antelope or that region on an old road that we would cruise in the days of the Exotic Sheep hunting for Corsicans and Mouflons in that area of Oregon.   Those that had the opportunity to get there first, before the state made changes or ranchers could make some heavy cash on the trespassing fees to hunt we had some great hunts with lots of sheep.  Little Trout Creek was a great area to work.  Ok! Getting back to the phone call from Ben, he told me that one of the local ranchers told him he could deer hunt over there.  I asked him the name of the rancher, but he couldn’t remember, no use giving up a good thing.   He did give way to the area of the loop road and that was enough information for me to figure out who the rancher might be and the canyons that once or still may hold Exotic Sheep.

It will be interesting when Ben reports after scouting the ranch as to what he encounters there.

 I have attached a couple of pictures from past hunts, with a medium size Hawaiian Black that was taken from one of the guys in the group of past.
