    Harper Mountain sheep for Harper

    It all begins back in May when my friend Will Walton asks me back in May if I could go along and help Harper and himself on the DS165 Harper Mountain sheep hunt .

    Caribou Rifle and Defense Option

    I use a Ruger compact 308 with a 2x7 leupold . It is accurate at normal hunting ranges and quick to point . The most important thing is I shoot it well and quick .

    Hold on to your GMU 23/26A Shorts boys

    I too have been hunting the Arctic for 20+ years . I live in Juneau but the meat from my harvests feed my family . The money I spend on a transporter feeds his or her family .
