Back from Alaska!

Had a good hunt, my guide was awsome, but the outfitter was not!   Over all still a good hunt.  Weather was tough, but we managed to find a very nice ram on day 8 after many miles of steep and rocky.  We managed to nail the ram at about 9:30, but after he took about a 1500 foot tumble, we weren't able to recover him till the next day.  Well, while we were hiking down to recover the ram, we found this nice caribou bull and I was able to take him at 430 yards.  So we processed the bull, and left him to cool.  Then we finally found the ram and took pics and processed him...broke one horn and pretty much hammered the meat and cape....anyway we then packed up the sheep, our camp, and as much caribou as we could carry....after 5 miles of tundra, brush and swamp with well over 100lb packs, we were whooped.  We got flown back to base camp for some much needed rest becuase we had been spiked out for 5 days.  When we got back the next day to reteive the rest of the caribou, two griz had decided thay they liked the nice clean steaks more than we would...oh well, I wasn't going to argue with them.  Anyway here are some pics, I'm still trying to clean gear and get orgainized for elk, so not much of a story....enjoy.

Way to go Ty, nice job on the hunt. Congrats! Hope the sheep cape was salvagable.

yeah it was a good hunt, but the outfitter was just not very proffessional with his camp, the way he treated the hunters or his after the harvest care of the hunters or the animals.  Could have made it a lot better with just a little more effort and care.

It was a very tough hunt, lots of climbing and hikin in nasty rocks and brush, but well worth it.  Hopefully the cape is still good, I think it will be o.k. just a few extra "character" scars on him.  Good to be home, didn't even recognize my girl, she is growing like a week!
