I passed on a good ram the first day because of a broomed horn. Some would have liked that ram but I wanted to hunt some more. On the fifth day we got on my ram which was 10 years old and with a 39 3/4" longest horn. The broomed horn wasn't much shorter and the old ram was roman nosed and heavy. On the seventh day we were out glassing for bear and spotted one a mile or so away. We rode horses and walked to 170 yards, identified it as a boar and stopped it's sheep killing. We spiked out for three nights and spent the rest in a comfortable permanent camp with cabins. In booking I wanted a good chance at a ram, the use of horses and a chance to add a Grizzly bear. This was perfect as far as I was concerned.

| Highlights
of Hunt: |
Taking a beautiful bull caribou from a herd of 45 bulls on a sunny day after a 5 1/2 hour horseback trek - on the 8th day of hunting. Shot the bull with a .338 rifle that belonged to my friend, Jack O'Connor, who killed a 40 inch Dall ram in this same area in 1956. |

Recommend This Hunt to a Friend? |

Mervyns are honest, good people who do not over promote their area or trophy quality, great ram with them 4 yeas ago. World Record mountain caribou was from their area. |
