Sadly all sheep are safe this evening as we didn’t locate a legal Ram. According to Alaska Fish & Game, The hard 2020/21 winter seemed to take a toll on the sheep in the area I hunted.

Two item's of note I did not see mentioned in the above posts:
I had NEVER used trekking poles on a hunt and when I prepared to head to Alaska last year I saw everyone mention them and saw guys on hunting shows using them... so what the heck. Bought a light pair of Aluminum (Was afraid of...

So Mike - Did you ever get to Alaska with Shawn?
I met Shawn at the LeHigh Valley SCI banquet a few weeks ago and I also felt he was up front and honest. In fact I have spoken to several References who also endorse him.
Like you, I am trying to scrape together the funds since I didn't get a...
I am considering the CTEdge for my wife and weight is an issue. The base weights on Fierce's home page are for the short actions and we are looking @ 6.5 PRC for her. We are planning to utilize a Zeis Conq V6 @ 24oz on her rig and wondered if you would mind sharing the total weight of your...
