Wow. Unbelievable. What an awesome trip, Jeff. I imagine the emotions were ever-changing on the hunt.

Congratulations!

Epic.

Crazy how all the disappointments with sheep not working out along the hunt happen for a reason and those frustrations melt away in the end.
Did you ever see the other hunters again???
That would have spun me out of control. lol

Congrats
