For an extra $650 it is worth having, it is a trophy fee if I shoot one and no additional money if I don’t.  If I do, it will be a bonus and about 1/2 or less the cost of a good guided trip for just that species these days.  Know I would run across a giant if I don’t have it.  Sheep is the priority, probably wouldn’t even shoot a record book Caribou if I didn’t have a sheep yet.

Can't wait to follow along! I day dream daily of going back :'( There's a legal ram out there somewhere, just gotta keep stepping till you find him. Do you need a packer  :chuckle:

I do need a packer and my good buddy is tagging along for motivation, companionship and and to video.  Goal is for a slam and hope to bring him on all.  He isn’t excited about going to Mexico though so could be an opening on that one.

Trip is booked for February of 2025, you wouldn’t have to pay for anything, I will give him until this February to commit.  You’re officially on deck if he opts out, that would give you a year to schedule it in.

Change of plans, Karl is aware, I think the chance of a great ram has increased, but the suffering it is going to take to make it happen just quadrupled! 

Heading out Sunday, season opens Thursday, I welcome all the prayers and good luck possible!
