We came down from the foiled stalk, linked up with my buddy, and then climbed up the opposing ridge to see if 1. sheep in the back of the basin? 2. Where did our ram go? 3. New rams?
1. Yes, but ewes
2. Hell if we know lol
3. Indeed.
So we descended back into the valley and made camp. Unfortunately, the weather looked super rough for the next couple of days. We decided to just see what happened and pull the plug if necessary.
We awoke to really low fog...
Reality + artistic representation of the hidden mountains
but then.... AWWWWWWWWE the clouds open...
and we decide to go see if we can find a ram

Garmin weather said, we were imminently going to take it in the shorts so we decided to just go full send, stalk the ram, look around and just give'r for the rest of the day.
Pics just don't do the mountains justice...
Ram wasn't legal, nada mucho at the end of the valley. We headed back down.
While taking a break someone from up high decided to say hello.

Had a nice sauna and reflected on the trip, learned a lot. Had an amazing time in the mountains learning the ropes of sheep hunting. Not sure if I will ever get another crack at being the tag holder, but stoked to accompany Charlie on his future sheep hunts.
It feels like every time I do a backpack trip in AK the mountains stretch me/ push the boundary of what I think I can do.
There is actually still over a week left in the season, but my moose season ends on the 15th, and my in-laws are out of PTO so I'm changing gears and turning my attention to moose.

Well, now, YOU ARE A SHEEP HUNTER, and my money is on you returning some day.
Good luck on the moose. Assuming it was in your area, I hope you get the one you posted the photo of from your scouting trip.

You got that moose in the bag. Its getting him out of that hell hole that will be the problem
You made the caribou hunt I want to go on look like a breeze. I'm sure you will make my 2nd choice moose hunt look like a breeze too
O and P.S. I'm doubly hurt deep that you still haven't responded to my PM from DAYS AGO. WTF were you doing on that mountain? I see lots of photos of time spent in the tent. Did it never occur to you to check in?

Usually I like to preface that statement with "all due respect, but..."
"No offense" works too.

Awesome ram hunt! It’s the experience people pay big money for after all, so in my book…badass hunt done right

Man I hate you weren't successful in the sheep tag but had a hell of a time it seems. Those winds must have really gotten up there. AK weather can be brutal man. Good luck on bull winkle.
