That is a fine ram, taken with a 270, one of my favorites.

Thanks for taking us along.

Yetti,
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your service. Really though, .270 is the classic, old school round for NA sheep.

Wow. Just wow.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up for those of us who will likely never have a chance to make this adventure. Congratulations on a great ram, and thanks again.

My hat is off to you sir and your outfitter. You went on a REAL hunt. Worked hard and were rewarded with a great ram, went home without a moose but seem very happy with your hunt.
Unfortunately many of your fellow hunters would have demanded a moose too, requiring far more use of aircraft (spotting)
We need more hunters like your self.Thanks for the great story.

Thanks so much for sharing your great adventure with us! Sure makes me wish I was about a hunnert years younger.

Great memories you will have.

Saw an add for the Shutterfly photo book service at the bottom of the Campfire page so thought I would post this update. A friend of mine and Curt's took some of our Yukon pictures and used this service to surprise us with a couple very nice hardback coffee table books of our trip. Really impressive and appreciated. This is a great way to remember a special trip. I took some photos of the book but they do not do it justice.
