Great shooting Ivan. Shot from the bottom of the mountain. But had to climb to the top to claim his trophy.  Way to go, Mike | |||

Ivan, Guy sent me some of the pictures. Looks like it was an awesome experience but my reply to Guy was that it also looked way too damn cold for me. To be hunting at 14,000-17,000 feet with temperatures hovering around zero and having to dress up to look like the Michelin Man, I think I will stick to hunting in tropical climates thank you. That said, looked like a beautiful sheep and the ibex looked great too. Congrats, hope your feet warm up and you get feeling back in your toes! Mike | |||

Wow. Nice trophy Ivan. Congrats. I just might do this hunt soon. I do well at high elevations, but my feet get cold quick due to frostbite (my big toes are permanently numb). | |||

Well done! What were your thoughts during the photo shoot. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

Well done Ivan! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

food was great people were incredibly hospitable, accomodations were great and there were lots of sheep you could hunt walk and stalk or drive and shoot your choice - "The greatest threat to our wildlife is the thought that someone else will save it” www.facebook.com/ivancartersafrica www.ivancarterwca.org www.ivancarter.com ivan@ivancarter.com | |||

Okay Ivan, you shoot a big bore NE double all the time, what's the deal with the muzzle break on your sheep rifle? Surely you can't be recoil shy. ____________________________ If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ... 2018 Zimbabwe - Tuskless w/ Nengasha Safaris 2011 Mozambique - Buffalo w/ Mashambanzou Safaris | |||

It must be that the recoil is magnified in the altitude! Just kidding. Excellent work. I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills. Marcus Cady DRSS | |||

funny men re the muzzle break - amazing how when you practice practice practice it makes all the difference - out to 300 yards no worries if you remove it , thereafter impact starts to change a little , the ruger folks have made a barrel "weight" that is equal to the muzzle break and keep the barrel harmonics the same so you can unscrew the break and and put on the weight making it very very close to the same point of impact even out to 700 yards....
