Dall Sheep Hunt
« on: August 02, 2011, 10:47:00 PM »
Arrived in Northwest Territories. 2hour truck drive and one hour river boat got us to camp. Flew to the mountain in a chopper with my guide in the late afternoon.
 

We set up our little base camp and went to sleep in the daylight. Only three hours of darkness this time of year and had to wait 12 hours before hunting after a fly in.

Those R-44s are nice choppers. That is definitely the way to travel into camp. Beautiful area there in the NWT. I am eager to see more.

Spent the next few days hiking and glassing for rams.
 

This is the back section of a mountain we crossed several times to try and close the distance on rams. I was experiencing a huge pucker factor on every trip of the side hill.

We saw legal rams every day but one.

 

On day 6 finally got close enough to take a shot.

 

Another shot for Rod!
