Excellent Karl. What a great write up and adventure. That amount of time in the fog and rain is brutal. I spent about 5 hours in it over the weekend bear hunting, so I know exactly how you must have felt  :chuckle:

Tell us more about that monster Caribou bull that wasn't meant to be. Did you guys have caribou tags but no time to hunt them?

we were camped on my ram when he came through. The fog was at ram line but clear down below us into the valley. We saw him at about 800 yards but he proceeded to work his way into 330 yards. Could have killed him a hundred times over but for fear of bumping rams we let him walk.

I'd really love to do a replica for the mount and a euro with the original horns. They are so amazing and I'd love to be able to allow people to pick them up and handle them whenever.


I think some of us would like to contribute to make that happen.  I'll throw in the first $100  :tup:
