Brooks Range 2009
7 day walk-in hunt
Airline miles, $300, a few mountain house, and one good hunting buddy.
Lets just say I wore out my Danner Trophy boots on this hunt.
Enjoy my WA hunting friends.

Congrats on getting done on your own. Read your story on the Alaska site.
Very impressive. Snyd, the guy with the red tent was the guy who helped me out when I completed my dall sheep hunt in 07 in the Wood River.
I was fortunate to do this hunt once in my lifetime. You are fortunate to be able to hit it every year. Good luck with your future hunts !!
Ps: You need to post the full story for the boys!

He is a big ram for the Brooks. I went in East although I think a Westward hike could produce some cool horn too. The Bio in Fairbanks hunted the area I was in and has taken a few rams out of there. He was certainly impressed by the caliber of this animal. He's 37 and almost 38" on the long side. 13+ bases. I wrote the measurements from F&G but lost em somewhere. Opps.
I don't care all that much. I'm just tickled to have another mt. trophy on the wall. I'll share photos of the finished mount next year.
I'm not so into the story thing. Sorry guys. If ya haul me back to elk camp then the lips get a-flying.
Thanks for all the positive comments. I know you all harbor some great trophies yourself. In fact a big early season Muley is just as hard earned as a Dall Sheep and in some cases more so. So while I've scored on Brown Bear, Mt. Goat, and Dall. I still look forward to taking a large Elk and Mule deer. I've hunted them in the Alpine with rifle and bow but still haven't connected.

I'm really nervous about the Oct hunt but I'll be seeing a lot of sheep...jsut a matter of if it will be possible to get anywhere near them. Cant control the weather so just have to prep as good as I can and hope for the best.

It will make the trophy so much more valuable. If your in em you'll just need good gear to weather the wait.
You've earned a ram. Now go collect.
