Congrats!  That's awesome!  Are you hiring a guide or do you have family that can take you hunting?

No moose. No caribou.

Time to hit the gym!

Will you be using an outfitter?

Thanks. I need to hit the gym hard!! I'm not in good cardio shape right now. I'm going to try to lose about 15 lbs of fat and muscle by Oct 1!

No outfitter I'm going next of kin.

Craziest thing about this whole deal is there are 3 permits available and my long time hunting partner who was in my wedding in May drew one of the other two!!!! Back in 2008, the last year that we were residents we both drew one of the 40 archery permits that are available for residents.  Had wayyyy to many chances to not come home with a ram. W couldn't believe it when we checked this morning. Talk about a one in a million deal.

I will be creating a post for this for sure

Nice AK, I've started a couch to 5k program at my local YMCA, maybe something like that might help you kick off the training. Congratulations!

I didn't even apply this year, lol. I'm hitting the Haul Rd for caribou and just the Valley for moose! That is a great sheep tag!

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Thanks for the congrats everyone I really appreciate it. I just got off the phone with my buddy, this is really not believable. We're already talking strategy! After going 0-5 archery sheep hunting I honestly had written killing a sheep with my bow, this being the only tag I would hunt this yr considering the $ it will cost to do it right, new job, just married etc.

We know most of the area really really well, we used to spend days and weeks on end hiking and camping all over Chugach State Park when we were in high school. This will be my second time hunting this tag and my buddies second as well. It's now or never for me if I want an Archery Dall Ram!!!!

I ordered a Go Pro cam tonight that will be coming along for the trip
