For me, it was in 1983, a solo backpack trip in the northern part of our province for Stone's sheep.
I walked off the Alaska Highway with a topographic map, I backpacked 14 days and walked out to A.H. about 50 miles from where I began, I cached all my stuff and thumbed a ride to my truck.
I didn't see a soul and walked many sheep basins, saw piles of sheep and other game....missed a very nice old ram 39/ 40"( My guess) I saw many smaller, legal rams along the way. I have been back there since and plan on going again . The Northern Rockies are the last great adventure hunt in BC..I live in the southern Rockies, Bighorn country. Cheers.
