I was lucky enough have lived in Montana back when we could buy an Unlimited area bighorn ram tag every year for $25. The seasons opened the first of September and if the quota wasn't filled, it lasted through November. Back then I didn't realize how good that deal was and I would usually just go for a long first weekend hunt.


It took me several years to figure out where the rams were, but I finally ended up filling three ram tags. The late 70s and 80s were good to me as I was also able to fill a couple of Montana Shiras bull moose tags and a mountain goat tag. And I got all of those animals within 100 miles of my home.


About 20 years ago, an outfitter friend called me about a cancellation Dall ram hunt in the Mackenzie Mountains in the Northwest Territories. It was a fly-in backpack hunt, and I ended up getting a great ram, a good Mountain caribou, and a Wolverine.


Mountain sheep hunting is some of the best hunting in the world!

I can't post pictures from this computer, but I will after the holidays.


Merry Christmas to all!
