I just listened to Randy's podcast about this hunt... it was a really epic adventure. I'll have to check out the Youtube videos.
I'm bummed that I didn't do more sheep hunting when I lived in Alaska. It took a while to get into backpack hunting on "easy" caribou and learn my stuff before I felt confident going on a solo sheep hunt. I got to do it once, without killing a sheep, and a year later I'm one of those dang nonresidents who would need a guide. I wish there were more registered guides who offered something like a self-guided hunt (with them going along as partner/packer) for something like 1/3 the ridiculous price of full guided hunts. I guess there are just enough people willing to pay for the deluxe experience that there's no room for guides offering something like a DIY for less money. It's great that Randy got that opportunity, though, and he would have been crazy not to do it.
