Good stuff. Thanks for sharing the story and pics with us...... A friendly piece of information. Trevor Linden gym is 16 bucks a month. Even 3 days a week will help you out for next year. Or.... buy some horses.
The measure of a man is not how much power he has, it's how he wields it.
Awesome story Don, it is an amazing, beautiful place.
I had a sense of being with you, good writing. (Brought back some good memories)

Fantastic story - thanks for taking the time to put it together. Since I spent 9 days hiking in the high country of Kluane National Park in the Yukon in 2015 I have thought sheep hunting would be a tremendous experience. Alas, as an Ontario resident I would have to sell my house to make it happen! Regardless, great to read of your adventure.
Great share. Thanks for the journey!
