Damn??

What's that a picture of roadkill on the Dalton.

 

[SS!]

Alaska doesn’t suck

 

[copple2]

Stop teasing us, SS! Let's see all of that beautiful ram!

 

[Wapitiwilly]

SS you are starting to act like a stripper. Need to see a little more skin?

 

[30Hart]

What are you talking about that 2nd pic is his field photo after too much celebration with the whiskey.

This is true

 

[SS!]

Last pic for now. Gotta go kill caribou and maybe another sheep.

The rare one horned ram

Nice work! Congratulations! Gotta love being a resident of Alaska. How is the sheep herd looking this year? I know last year was a tough year for hunters and to find good legal rams. I also heard last year there were a lot of 6-7 year old rams that would be coming up through the ranks, do you believe that to be a true statement?

 

[Gadjet]

Way to go Questionablysober!

 

[Outdoordan]

Good job man! Looks beautiful there!

It’s a little early to tell but I do know that this previous winter was a tough one too. I heard one outfitter cancelled all his sheep hunts for this fall after some preseason scouting. Last year non resident success was down to 54%. I suspect it’s going to be in that range again.

All you can do is go hunt it when you can, timing is everything. Just hope you catch your area on a good year. Worst case is you have to go again to get it done….

 

[DoubleDropMuley]

Sweeet Deal @SS!

 

[Focoelkman]

Cool pics ! Sweet ram. What kind of swill is that?!
Fresca ? Picture is fuzzy.

Good
Morning &
good luck!

 

[Bluehair]

What’s up with that hoof? You chase him off some rock pile to that field of wildflowers just for the cool pics?

 

[eelgrass]

I hunt blacktails in rougher country than that. Maybe I'm not too old for a sheep hunt after all.

Must have been a catch and release or he’s giving that ram a rub and tug?

 

[eelgrass]

Salmon, halibut, sheep, caribou, moose. Alaska doesn't suck.

 

[Ranger1]

Congrats!

 

[Fallfreak]

Congrats. Now let's see some real pictures.

 

[hornkiller]

Class 2 or 3?

 

[SS!]

Class 2 or 3?

I don’t know a sheep hunter that uses those terms. And he wasn’t .5 years old either. Just 12. Not 12.5.

 

[publichunter1]

Looks like an awesome set up and ram from what I can see. Looking forward to the other pics.

 

[littlebighorn]

Well done SS.
Sheep hunts are always an adventure, regardless of the outcome, but success makes them epic.
Your opportunities are just dreams for most of us.

 

[sjhgraysage]

Looks like Fun!

 

[DH56]

The rare one horned ram

Hmmm....one of those Rare Unirams then

 

[Gadjet]

12 1/4?

 

[Snoopdogg]

C'mon homey, up with the pics. I don't believe in one-horned sheep.

 

[whiteantlertip]

Caribou in the freezer, leave for moose tomorrow. Might get to the story this winter after guiding season. Here’s the ram on the ground:

The short version of the story: While I pulled the trigger I had two of my best friends on this hunt that were key to to the success of me getting this ram. The only one missing was Bambistew but he was on his own sheep hunt. While I don’t generally consider myself a lucky person I do feel like I’m the luckiest person when it comes to friendships and having a wife that knows I need a lot of time in areas where cell phones do not work.

[BradA]

Awesome ram! I heard the conditions were crappy this year with very little good weather opportunities. Congratulations again and it’s awesome you got a great ram on a tough year !

 

[BradA]

What was he aged at ?

 

[Snoopdogg]

All late, you effer!

Great looking ram! I'd pop 'im.

As a resident, how often do you get the ability to hunt Dall? Is Alaska a preference/bonus point draw or truly random draw?

Congrats again.

Residents get to hunt sheep every year, Alaska is a random draw.

Residents can hunt OTC and every year. Non residents are limited to one ram every 4 years.

No points system here thank god!

I had no idea--very cool. I view Dall as once-in-a-lifetime, or in my case, never-in-a-lifetime. However, still love looking at cool pictures and reading interesting threads about others' successes. Congrats again.

I feel very lucky to get to go every year. I’m at the point where I don’t have to kill a ram and most years I don’t. I like the adventure, seeing new country and having self imposed goals. And those three together and success goes way down hahaha.

Yeah, yeah...well, killing a ram like that doesn't suck either...

Just a perfect ram to kill, well done.

 

[Horsecorn]

Damn you ss. Looks like a class 5 ram to me..

 

[littlebighorn]

That old bruiser had very few winters left in him and in my book age is a bigger part of "trophy" than inches in sheep.

Dandy work SS, but that's kinda the expectation for some.
Well done!

 

[Tikka]

Nicely done!

 

[SS!]

Thanks all! Maybe this winter I’ll get to write up a story on it. But been just too damn busy. Last weekend:

 

[elkhunterUT]

you've had a great fall-congrats!!

You have killed a ram and a bull moose that all of us would die to take - living the dream! I need to get that done some day!

 

[Cahunter805]

Heck of a season buddy!! Congrats on the success. Can’t wait for a write up this winter! Love the pic of a hard earned beer and meal after a hunt. Man I gotta get to AK someday soon.

I have bad news to report @nfh . My sweat pants got a hole in them after 10 years and they didn't make it off the mountain. Proof of death:
