LOL! Only when ON the Minesite Wild One! Took my very first Ram there well above the mine (did a fair amount of Habitat Work there - fish related - back in the day...) and they were anything BUT "un spooky"!!

Great Report, Awesome Pix! And Man! My own feet actually HURT looking at that picture!!

Cheers!

I believe you. I've heard so many stories, good and bad, of hunting around the mine. It can be tough and a challenge since they apparently know where the mine limits are. When I lived in Alberta I was a couple years away to try a multi species hunt in that part of the province. Not only the sheep are amazing but the mule deer and elk hunting can be something I'm told.

YA HOO
Way to go Mik I was waiting for this. Congratulations on a couple great trophies and your thread was fun to read and view. It was good to hear that you felt the moose call worked for the bear. I have called in more than a few over the years while trying for moose. It is always worth a try, and sometimes you get a moose to come in as well. lol. Great call on the ram it looks like a nice one to count. I was wondering what the base and length measurements were if you don't mind. PM me next time your up this way and we will grab a coffee. Are you dealing with the same taxi who did your black bears.

Thanks big time again Mike.


I measured the right horn at 32 4/8 x 13 7/8 and the left horn at 33 5/8 x 13 7/8. The left horn on the CI sheet is 13 4/8 x 34 6/8. A ram with good mass and I’m a very happy hunter. The animals are a bonus to any hunting adventure but I won’t deny it’s more fun coming back home after connecting.

I'll send you a pm for sure next time I'm in FSJ. I have some exams to write up there in the coming months so will make it happen. I'm not sure yet which taxi I'll go with. I'm really considering one in the Edmonton area who specialize in full mounts, he's seriously the top and his work in incredibly amazing. I talked to him few days ago and he said his favourite jobs are full size grizzly bear. He also really likes sheep so I might go with him for both mounts.

What an amazing hunt!! Thank you so much for taking the time to produce such an exciting accounting of your adventure. It's not often than someone takes two of North America's premier species in their life, let alone on one hunt. You're one hell of a hunter - congratulations
