Good point, Toast! I'd never quite taken my own thinking to that point, but it makes good sense to me.

Remember, Jack had worked for Aguire before, so he knew what kind of work was ahead of them, and I think HE was sizing Ennis up, not only thinking of whether he could do the work, but what kind of company he was gonna be.
Obviously, whoever Jack worked with before, didnt end up in the same tent as him, so I do doubt, whether there was any ulterior motives to the looks he was giving Ennis.

That's not obvious to me. I think the whole emphasis on the fact that this is Jack's second summer on Brokeback is meant to indicate he had experience with more than herdin sheep.

And even if Jack didn't share a tent with his coworker the previous summer (maybe his coworker was Timmy!) doesn't mean he might not get some ideas when he caught a glimpse of his hot new partner. To me, Jack's little smile after he first looks at Ennis and then looks away (like he's thinking, "Yesssss!!!") says it all.

Gotta agree with you here, Katherine. :)

I'd say maybe just a "N-i-i-i-i-c-e!" might be more likely, but, gen'rally speakin', no real disagreement here, either. :D
