I used to hunt solo up there all the time for sheep 40 years ago. Just on a general sheep tag. It went to end of Nov I used to hunt the hills just north of Canmore But I think its all no trespassing now . Parking on the hyw was hard to find ,as there were only a few spots . Hunters every where . Normally 20 lazy hunter sitting in the trucks just glassing for sheep at that one lookout parking area just before Canmore . There were so many hunter on that mountain ,i had a shot on a nice Ram that got spooked ,just to find some other guy walking in that direction and not even seeing him . That was my last hunt up there after tring 5 years in a row . Gas was getting to 30 cents a L to fill up and that was a lot back then coming from Edmonton. A lot less hunters in a riffle zone . Must be 100s of hunter now hunting sheep in 410 on any given weekend . Since your pulling a tag next year ,go up and scout during the season where everyone else is hunting so you can stay away from the crowds .
Back in the 80s i just did a motel hunt and really did not know where to go that had rams .Would of been nice to have a partner . I was young being in my 20s. Hardly anyone even rifle hunted back then . Times have changed
Good luck ,and please report back how the hunt was .
