The challenge of taking a record book animal normally takes skill, perseverance and for many species lots of money and sometimes just a little luck. I personally have never taken a Boone & Crockett record book animal. I have come close on Dall sheep, caribou and Sitka Black Tailed deer. I have guided on two B&C record book brown bears and five B&C record book caribou but again none of my own. I guess I consider taking the number 3 Pope & Young record book Dall sheep with my recurve bow my highest accomplishment as a hunter. Now that I’m getting older my chances at a B&C are pretty slim but like most hunters I keep hoping. Follow along as I chase those elusive Dall sheep with my Kodiak Magnum bow.
Sheep Hunting The Chugach Mountains
By 1971, I had taken three sheep including my first 40 incher and was now on a mission to get a sheep with my Bear Kodiak Magnum recurve bow. My last two sheep hunts had been in the Chugach Mountains and I was still convinced that was the place to make it happen.
