Dall sheep hunting in the Brooks Range

The Brooks Range

The Brooks Range

A few days ago, after having breakfast with my young friend Isaac Landecker (check out his YouTube channel for some great videos), he invited me over to his place to see his trophies.  He really has some impressive animals.  Two amazing B&C moose and some great rams, a 40”, a 39 ½” and one beautiful little tight curled guy that’s broomed close to the second year on both horns and still over full curl.  Next to his latest, a 39 ½” with 14” bases, it looks like a miniature but what a beautiful ram.  I asked him if he had seen the first sheep that I guided on which was a 38 ¼” curl and a quarter ram that has that shape.  He had previously looked at my sheep photos on my blog but wasn’t familiar with that one.  When I got home, I looked on my blog in sheep photos and in all my stories and it wasn’t there.  I asked my wife if she remembered that story about guiding in the Brooks and she said no.  I could have sworn I had written that one.  It should have been posted right after the “I Can Do This” story, my first story about my first guiding season.  The problem was back when I first started the blog, I was randomly posting old hunting stories intermixed with guide hunting stories.  The following story is a very important part of my guide history, hope you enjoy.
