lol, seems the rut has started!
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

doc, You may think 2legit [Randy] is your guardian angel but yesterday at lunch we laid plans for one of those dall sheep loins on the grill....  always watch your luggage in FAI as there isn't much we won't do for a sheep loin. Glad you did well as it's become a very difficult hunt up there..... and you didn't seem to endanger the skeeter population....been a bugger of a year for those things.

Man, I got a story to tell but I want to let this Alaska Ale wear off some, and get in front of my native keyboard. 36" double broomed on the 12th, spotted from the jetboil grits. Other hunter was a bad-azz hiker and hunter, hard every day of 12 and didn't connect:(
2legit2quit was like a guardian angel in a foreign land. Let met explain: on a moments notice, dude picks me up at Alaska Air terminal, drives me to Warbelow's, a small flight service, and when I miss the flight by five minutes, he takes me to the grocery, paid airport parking, and returned me to Warbelows to book out to Ft Yukon on the 7:30 flight. In his truck, he amassed a sheep hunting gear trove just in case my luggage got fouled up (which it didn't). Kept up with him on Iridium, and when I returned to FAI, be picked my stinkin' azz up and drove me to Golden North and waited while I showered ( the beautiful Alaskan lady on the plane next to me says "thank you"), then drove me to Alaska Air AND, WOWOWOW!!!!! Took my sheep meat to process it! Where do they make guys like this? What a prince! Have I mentioned that we've only met on the internet? Thank you 2legit, I'm almost to SEA, and you were the star of this sheep trip. As we say down here, "boy, yo money don spend in Atlanta, jus call Docdb, you got my number!
Don He ain't a bad guy. Looking forward to the story.

Well at this rate, it won't take much time when he gets home to sweety, so the story should be very quickly after that. LOL

Better check the lock on the freezer; everyone knows you can't kill animals with bullets that do that.

It was a double lung 400yd shot with this Lapua Scenar. Don't believe it hit bone. Guides commented that they have never seen such meat destruction. I'm used to TSX bullet performance. It took an hour to get from where I shot to the sheep to the kill, and the death was so instantaneous that the consensus was that I had shot high and hit the spine

Nice ram, Don!
What grain Scenar? I used the 120gr. Scenar on my ram last year without any real meat loss, and mine definitely hit bone!
