Muskrat you should go take a picture of the sheep picture at the Band Office that Roger took. That one would rank pretty high all time I'm thinking. One of the biggest I've ever seen in person, books or magazines.

Awesome ram Ryan! What did it measure tip to tip? 42",43"? I've gotten a couple nice broomed ones in the past, but nothing like this guy. I just started work a few weeks back so my sheep hunting season is limited to weekends. We're finally getting tuttu coming down our valley this fall, so I gots to try to fill up the freezers before they disappear.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it!

Nunamiut- tip to tip is 32". Length is 41 on both sides. That day made top 5 all time for days spent on the land in my life. When you're in good sheep country the only thing above you is the sky, everything else is below. They sure are fat.

Now that is a nice old sheep! Really good mass, something I'll be looking for next sheep hunt.

Being sick sucks! Lots of things to get done and I'm stuck in bed with whatever this sickness is. Feels like pneumonia so I'm gonna head to emerg later. Grabbed 4 bags of insulation and started the warehouse, also put in a new stove. Count down is on fellas. 10 days til beaver and muskrats open and 26 until fox etc opens. We're having cold weather so fur should be nice right off the get go. Can't wait to set the few 330s that I have in town on some beaver houses close by.

Spent some time in the water in freezing conditions the other day when I got stuck with a loaded boat so that has everything to do with this sickness.

My hunting gear, gas and everything from my parents tent frame on the coast. Not really over loaded but more than heavy enough for one guy with a bum shoulder.now my shoulder is really bad after having to put 100% effort into getting out. I wish I took pictures but that was the last thing on my mind at the time.

Thunder jet Luxor OB dry weight 1800 lbs plus the 115 Yamaha and gear. Once I got water between the hull and the mud I was able to move it inch by inch. I also had 2 blocks of wood and a 6 foot length of 2x4 which helped as a pry bar. Any animals within 3 miles must've learned some new words for sure. That feeling you have when you know nobody will be travelling by and you just have to get out by yourself is all too familiar to me these days.
