...and we won’t be back!


 :chuckle:


I've been there and said that from a busted, horrible trip in Alaska.  It's like child birth, give it some time and "it wasn't so bad".   :chuckle:   :tup:

I’ll be back to Alaska for sure, just not to hunt the Chugach!

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

Never saw the other hunters again!

What a trip, makes me rethink my desire to go hunt those sheep. Congrats on a trophy and story of a lifetime!
Go if you can make it happen, may want to pick an easier place, but it was awesome, and I am better for it.  Only 3 more to go!

Just awesome my dude!
