Without a doubt. Not sure where, but I can tell you we used to watch sheep in the White Mountains while moose hunting. I'll bet you can guess where we were. Not too many, probably no huge ones, but a challenge non-the-less.


Killed more than a few rams right in there... tightest curled sheep going...

Growing up the notion was all about legal rams... I was a dink killer...

Art,

We all (well, most of us) evolve as hunters. Difference is the majority grow up shooting does or small whitetail bucks.

So very fortunate to grow up & shoot dink Dall sheep. smile

Or get flown out and hunt the Porcupine caribou herd that would be a blast for two weeks!

I would love to hunt brown bear and, even more, I'd love to hunt a sheep, but something about Mountain goats has always intrigued me even more.

but, in the end, I'd opt for one of those float trips for whatever I could hunt.

We were still 3 miles off when we bailed due to time constraints. (There is WAY more to this story!!! smile )

Killed a caribou on the way out, after hiking right through hundreds of them on the way in .. We were going sheep hunting, dammit!

It was a pretty good non-sheep hunt!

He got cold, tracking caribou. Sometimes gone for a couple hours, but we didn't wait. He'd track us down. We only worried about Eagles and such.

I could spend two weeks fishing in SE Alaska pretty easy. I'm getting ready to spend 5 months in the Brooks Range so maybe I will learn to like that even more. Can't wait to throw a few spinners and flies...

I'd rent a really good STOL amphibian and fly to see many places and things, pausing to fish the best and hunt for the most desired.

Quality visits with my old friends there. Drift the Kenai out of Soldotna where we used to have our Aframe cabin, and ride the train from Anchorage to Mt McKinley for the upteamed time.

If money was no problem I'd probably try for another bull moose but this time I'd use a long bow.

Brown bear and moose.


I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
