I haven't posted much this year, and was going through some pictures and realized we we got out quite a bit this year... This is probably 1/4 of what we did this year... Lots more fishing and a few other hunting trips in there.

Fishing on a local lake (going again this weekend)

Amazing day on the water, even if the fishing was a bit slow. ;)

Sheep hunting was rough this year. Lots of fog and lots and lots of rain. More rain this year than the last 4 combined. In 10 days I think we had 3 days with no rain.

Awesome average year. :)
As always, enjoy your escapades.
Kinda come to expect your annual successes. Obviously the big game is the main focus but I appreciate the extra fishing pics. I don't bother bonking trout in Montana but the idea of stocking the freezer with salmon is pretty dang cool.
Still speculate if I could handle the overload of spring/summer/fall insane fun only to enter the dark months.

Plenty to do in the winter...
 
Looks like a pretty fun year. Even with the rain I'm surprised there's no ram, you've been a pretty consistent ram killer since I've been on here.
 
Do you and your family ever have any fun? or is it always just this boring hunting and fishing nonsense? 😴 :unsure: ;)


Seriously, another amazing post of a very productive year! Thanks for sharing with us commoners.
 
Decent year..... ;)

Really enjoy reading about your adventures. What a cool life. That caribou is impressive.

Tough hunt... I missed a really nice ram. :( Miss calculated for angle and shot over his back. I got a shot at redemption a week later, and just as I got into position where I could see/shoo, fog rolled in and vis went to about 50 yards. It was sketchy as hell hiking out of the clouds and cliffs. It did ruin my streak... I figured it was a matter of time before I didn't punch a tag, but it gives me something to dream about and hope the ram lived another year.
Nice write up and pictures. The Caribou looks pretty good. What rifle did you use this year?
The caribou was taken by a friend... I had a proxy tag for the late season.

Here's some more caribou hunting adventures...

My 6yo has a knack for fire starting.

I wasn't sure what was going on here, but it looked like he knew what he was doing with that blind.

Some may recognize this spot, Landmark Gap along the Denali highway. Super cool area and heritage site.
