Thanks for the kind comments, It was definetly the most physical hunt I had ever been on. The shot was approximately 330 yards. When Travis took the shot I don't recall the wind blowing much, but it definetly was blowing just up the hill on the ridge line.
One of the added bonuses of hunting Alaska, that initially didn't occur to me, was the option of finishing a hunt early and then going fishing. We booked the sheep hunt for 12 days, but finished in 7. This allowed time to go to Homer, AK for a couple of days of fishing. We each brought back 40 pounds of seafood, which made us heroes with our spouses. The last couple of years we hunted in Mid-Asia, and though they were succesful hunts, there was no other sporting opportunities when the hunts ended early. Alaska is a unique and special place indeed.
