This is a great story and a great hunt. Thank you for sharing. Both rams are great and very well earned. Randy I hope and pray your health has returned.
Thanks again. What a great hunt.

It was a very well done video series showing the extreme mental and physical nature of Dall's Sheep hunting. I hope Randy recovers from his liver ailment.

Randy, that was, bar none, the best hunting adventure video series I have ever watched. Thank you for your work and that of the whole crew. I hope you got to feeling better soon after the trip.
You wore me out just watching some of those climbs.

Excellent!
Tell ya what - I'd hunt with this Marcus cat anytime, anyplace. Positive attitude, always a smile and a go-getter. Exactly what I was thinking. His smile, and positive attitude is incredible. He really deserved that old Roman nosed double broomer. That day will live with him forever.

bought a [bleep] T3...

Looks like Branson has the same Barney's external frame pack that I have from the early 1990s.
Almost indestructible.

Almost indestructible. That's what you extracted from the videos? Holy safariman.

FC No, I extracted 9 days of adventure in a place I'd hunted in 1993. I didn't get a sheep, and it was an exhausting hunt. If I recall correctly, we hunted 10 days counting the trip in and the trip out, and lost an average of 15 lbs each. Saw lots of sheep, but I didn't get a shot. One of the other guys got a ram. I was carrying a Rem M7 in 308 that was coated with NP3. Most of our gear was GI issued, except the pack, spotter, binos and boots. And the tent. I still have the binos, boots and pack from that trip. I'm touched that you two are so interested in my gear selections. Slow day on the couch? Can I get your thrilling insights and witty commentary on Armendnfree's department issue equipment , or even Montana Marine's choice in bug-out-bag knives?I'm sure that would be "value added" to my life.

That was one of the better video's I have seen! I wasn't like a movie, I felt like I was there. Marcus would be welcome in my camp anytime.
Randy I love your videos and positive attitude, but boy I felt sorry for you. I watch all of your stuff and you were hurting!
This series was so good my wife sat next to me and watched all of them over several days.
Thanks,
Darryl
