Way to represent for all of the true western hunters.  Hard hiking, good shooting, and knowledge of meat care!  Guides must love it when they get clients like you. :tup:  get home so we can kill some bears!!

 :yeah: I was picturing it went like this, "hey this guy can actually shoot...by the way, we have a bit of a sheep problem"  :chuckle:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

My guide was very glad that I was so excited to hike way up there and hunt the goats. He said most clients don't want any part of that. Then the few that do aren't so quick on the set up and shot. I was his first client that has scored up there on one of those sheep. He got a lot of respect points from the other two guides for that one.

I couldn't believe that mostly all of the hunters that come here don't help with the skinning or packing or anything. To me that's all part of the game! Wouldn't be hunting without all that part too. I also taught him a bit about how we pack animals in the states.
