Condition Comments: |
This was my second hunt with Dennis Beatie (Wicked River Outfitters). I completed my grand slam by taking a great Stone ram in 2005. I rebooked for a spring grizzly hunt this spring. I was guided each time (Stone sheep) and now grizzly by Steve Fiarchuk, Dennis's son-in-law. Steve is as good a guide that my husband Doug and I have been associated with in over 40 years of sheep hunting and hunting North American big game. This is a family run operation and they treat hunters with respect. |

Condition Comments: |
We spotted this sheep in the first 25 minutes. Our eyes were glued to him all day. The wind would not let us make a stalk. Day two rain and 200 yard visibility. Day three we spotted him within one hour made a long stalk and harvested him. For the amount of time I hunted I can not give an honest opinion of the availability of game. Although by day three this ram had four ewes and two smaller rams with him. |
