Better than bear spray…
He ran off a sow grizzly with two cubs that we bumped into in a tight canyon at close range..

Many moons ago myself and my girlfriend tramped in the Copeland valley on the NZ west coast, this place has a beauty set of hot pools with unbelievable towering mountain views. Anyway there were two yanks in the pools,buck naked, the girl half if the pair told us when working up in Ak they had a foxy that did the job on bears, she worked there counting salmon.

Certainly a great adventure. I must say that an Airdale was the last animal on earth id expect to see up there.

Actually if you read old hunting accounts they were the breed of choice.

But the only ones I've ever been around were pretty useless

Excellent storytelling, sometimes pictures are way better than words, but your words keep up. Amazed that guys your age are getting around that country, tough as nails, way to go.

It was nice to meet you in Norman Wells and congratulations on a fantastic trip.

I could tell by the way you talked about it that it meant the world to you to hunt in that place with the people you did it with

What a trip! I'd heard about this ram, and was wondering when the pics would show up here on HT. Gorgeous country, beautiful rams - huge congrats!

One of the best write-ups I've ever read!

Great friends, great rams, great hunts, in amazing country. What's not to like. You should put this in one of the conservation magazines. Thanks for bringing us along.

 

[Point Creep]

I was out of town and somehow missed all this. Great photos and details. What an amazing trip! Congrats to you and Russ.

 

[Wes Mantooth]

Fantastic write up, and even more amazing photos. I am impressed at the miles and elevation you guys clocked. That is not a hunt for the weak of mind or legs!
Congrats on a lifetime of memories, adventures and two phenomenal rams.
