We spent the next few hours caping out the skull enjoying a nice fire and eating fresh sheep tenderloin.
The ride back to base camp was very relaxing with only one rodeo going up out of the river valley on the steep muddy trail that I wiped out on coming in. This time it was the pack...
We made it back to camp ate a quick Mountain House meal made a quick call to base camp on the sat phone leaving a message to bring the horses to pick us up at the drop off and crawled into the tents. As I lay in my tent I reflected on the events of the day and how perfect a day it was.
The...
This hunt as I mentioned before has been in the making for almost two years and never in a million years would I think I would be the one in this picture.
Houdini as this ram became know for the rest of the trip measured out at 38" on both sides with a green score of 157 4/8. He is exactly...
Finally after a few hours walking on nothing but rock and ice and what looks like rock but really two inches underneath is nothing but ice we make it to right below the rim. We work our way up a creek that has been eroded by thousands of years of melting ice to the top of the rim. As I look...
As we are setting up camp Blake spots a grizzly feed about 500 yards away low on the side of the mountain.
Blake does not seem concerned but I know I will be sleeping with a round in the chamber tonight. After we get camp set up we pull out the spotting scopes and start glassing the three...
The rest of the evening was spent getting to know each other, eating and going through gear as we would be heading out early the next morning. The inside walls of the cook shack were filled with names of successful hunters of the past and as the glow of the lantern grew dimmer I wondered if...
Finally getting around to posting some pictures (a lot of pictures) and story of my BC adventure. I returned home on the 4th which was actually 5 days earlier than scheduled. Between unpacking spending time with the wife and kids and my office manager being in Hawaii for the last two weeks and...
Well I just boarded the plane headed to Juneau and then onto BC on Monday to hunt Stone Sheep and Mountain Goat with Greg Williams of Golden Bear Outfitters for 12 days. Will return on Sept 9th. This trip has been over two years in the making. Thank you to GSCO and the Super Slam Raffle for...
What angle should the load lifters be set. I know if one of Patricks videos I think he said 15 degree angle but in most of the picks I see it is much greater than that.
I know they line up with the collar bone but you can slide the three bar slider up and down on the webbing on the shoulder strap so where does it need to be positioned on the strap itself. Above the three bar slider the webbing is swen to the shoulder strap how far below that sew spot should...
