    Unfilled Tag on Guided Sheep Hunt

    First guy I ever guided was on his 4th Alberta bighorn hunt, last sheep he needed for his slam. Kept saying he'd spent 200 000$ on a bighorn, he coulda just bought a governors tag somewhere for that money. He was getting pretty itchy by the time he shot his sheep on day 10 of a 12 day hunt...

    Sheep hunt rookie needs advice

    Sheep guide here, worked in AB, BC AND YK. You going heli assisted or straight hiking? I'd like a 7lb gun all up, be ready to shoot out to 500 but in 20 odd sheep I've never had to go past 420.

    Mountain rifle - short barrel for suppressor, medium range distances

    Buy a savage LW SS hunter, put it in a lightweight stock, rebarrel with a custom light profile McGowan barrel in 7mm WSM. I've got one in non stainless, with factory .243 barrel and a wildcat M70 stock weighs in at 6lbs scoped. Have a .284 win barrel to screw on and mess around with as well for...
