Alaska DIY Sheep, Moose, Trout Extravaganza!!!
I went elk hunting last year in Montana with a buddy of mine. In return I offered to take him moose hunting. What resulted was probably my best Alaska adventure to date. It was a three week float hunting, sheep hunting, moose hunting, steelhead fishing, trout fishing, camping, nature enjoying extravaganza for all times!!! Here's are some picture highlights.

Getting ready for the shot in the snow.

Packing out.

Raft loaded and ready to go.



A couple nice bows.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

Sure. It's a Bansner Ultimate Ovis chambered in 7wsm. I shoot 160gr accubond hand loads at 3,158fps. Topped with a Swarovski Z5 3.5-18 with ballistic turret. My buddy used my Kimber Montana in .325wsm with 200gr TSX at 2,950fps topped with a Swarovski Z6 1.7-10.

Now that is an adventure of two life times. What a great way to spend time with a friend, a true fiend that helps pack out sheep and moose. Thanks for the report and all the pics. I love lots of pics in that country.
