October Archery Dall Sheep Double
« on: October 12, 2013, 07:23:47 PM »
Nothing too big, one 6 yr old 7/8 curl and one 6 yr old between 3/4 and 7/8 curl. Pics to follow. Very harsh weather, much longer, tougher, horse pack in than we thought. Good times!

A few pics attached. Will write a story up and post more pics when I have more time. Trying to deal with being gone for 2 weeks is rough.

We were able to get the sheep off of the hill the same day. We were hit by a pretty big wind/snow storm which made it all that much more interesting. 3,500', 3.5 miles and a couple of creek crossings to base camp. Our packs were right at 90lbs as we left the capes on the hill. We were just too cold and running out of light. The sub freezing water sucks all the energy from your legs.

Josh from Alaska Horse Adventures was awesome! I dont think many wranglers have the skill to get stock back to where we wanted to go. His stock is first class and he worked his tail off for us. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in hunting the Chugach or Talkeetna ranges.

Side view then next day once the snow stopped. My camera battery died so all wer had was one GoPro and my phone, the field pic of the ram is with my phone just before my phone died.  We have a few hours and a couple hundred pics of GoPro that I will post when I get it downloaded, hope they turned out good. Its nice to finally get a sheep under my belt. Now I just have to get a decent Blacktail Buck!

That looks epic. Awesome looking hunt.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.
