I did this hunt with Alaska Trophy Hunts, Tom Shankster, Denver Colorado
My Guide was Mike Shwartz 21 years old.
Used a Blaser R-8 300 WBY. 180 grain Spire Points. Zeiss conquest 3.5x10
Shot was at 500 yards.
I shot this after 4 days of very hard hunting.
First day was 16 hours of Walking and Climbing, next 12 hours. Seen sheep every day just sub legal in most cases.Seen an average of 20 sheep or more every day. Then a day off moved camp. Then 12 hours again and finally the last day shot him at 11:00 AM GOT BACK AT 6 pm.
DO THIS HUNT WHILE YOU CAN THE BEST NORTH AMERICAN HUNT I HAVE EVER BEEN ON.
Tom's group was great there where 9 hunters over the first 2 hunts 8 rams were shot one guy was sick and hunted only 2 days and then was fogged in at base camp.
We had to spend the first 6 days in base camp it was bad weather and could not get to the spike camps.
All in all great hunt.
It had 13" bases Longest 36" broomed side 31"
Green Scored 151 1/2 10 years old

Well done Larry! Score one for us 50 plus guys!


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.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

I am really looking forward to that hunt next year Larry. The 5 bear hunters all killed brown bears the first 5 days I think this year.

Congratulations on a beautiful ram.
Great photos.

It looks like you've got some elephant
ivory and a hard earned mountain sheep.
I would say you could be comfortable walking
into any room full of hunters.

Good Job.
