10yo Daughter’s First Dall Ram

[Wildwillalaska]

Feeling bit guilty as I somehow missed posting my daughter’s first sheep hunt here in the youth section. My then 10yo Harper was nothing short of a warrior as she scrambled through well over 50 miles of verticals and endless boulder fields before finally scoring her ram. Super special hunt as it was a draw in her namesake region, Mt. Harper, but also a low density sheep area, so she was fortunate on top of all her effort.

And finally…gold.

That is AMAZING! Congrats to that hard core hunter! Is she hooked? I hope so, after an experience like that. Great work dad and great work to the hunter!

Very cool. What pack is your daughter using? I’ve been planning to get my 9 year old boy into more backpacking trips.

That is so freakin' cool! BIG congrats!

Thanks all.
Harper’s pack is a custom sized ULA Equipment, their CDT model, that I had them make with X-pac. Super lite, waterproof, and comfy to carry as much weight as she should.

They are based out of Utah and make all their packs there. I have a Catalyst model in s-pack I use for backpack trips where I have to carry a bear can, like the sierras. Had Peter make one of their circuit models in x-pac for my girlfriend last year and she loves it as well. Greta folks that will modify within reason and make it as close to what exactly you want, made in USA, super comfy, super lite, and very durable.

Check out ULA—obviously can’t say enough good about them.

Stuff like this after a long day at work and rough night with kids makes me stoked on life and reminds me why I’m doing what I do! Congrats and what an awesome experience!
