SUMMARY
REMARKS |
|
| Problems
of Hunt: |
|
| Highlights
of Hunt: |
Harvesting a 160 inch ram on day six of a seven-day hunt. Also seeing bigger rams that we just could not get to. It is worth the money just to see these magnificent animals. Harvesting one is an added bonus. |
| Equipment
Recommendations: |
Good hiking boots. |
| Would You
Recommend This Hunt to a Friend? |
Yes |
| Why? |
This is a great adventure. Wayne is a great master guide and just never gives up. Even after five solid days of rain and sleet he continued to be optimistic and told me not to worry because we would get a sheep. On day six we did. You can't go wrong with this guy. |
