During to adventure looking for moose, we were within a mile of the foot of the mountains you see in some of the pictures. Of course we glassed to look for Dall sheep, in 2 days saw between 50-75. We scouted routes and looked for good camp sites and made plans for August. Mr John has not sheep hunted since he was 62, his two boys don’t seem to interested in going. The spark and twinkle in his eyes as we planed the hunt. My youngest son will be 8 and will be on his first sheep hunt. Mr John is as excited to take Justin. Exciting times in 2019.
A grizzly visited camp and left a hair on the spruce trees. Rubbed at least 10 trees around camp. Always a comforting feeling to find these around camp.
For prospective and scale of photos I was asked about the antler size. They measured 55 1/2” outside.
Mom has Hannah (5) manning the vacuum sealer station. Will be some good memories when I grab that pack out of the freezer and see the handwriting.
Congrats and thanks for the great pics. Mmmmm, tenderloin and backstraps! Pics when you cook 'em up??????
Do you have a rough idea on how much lbs of meat you ended up with all said and done? That backstrap alone looks like a huge hunk of meat. We get these what I call pork chubs from the store (basically 14-16 good chops, a decent roast and some pork stir fry meat after my knife magic) and that looks about like 5 of them stuck together...
The 2 front shoulders yielded a 48 quart cooler for ground. We got 54 packages, we used the 2 pound bags.
From the two rear quarters yielded 39 packages of steakes, 8 stew meat, 14 roasts, 3 seasoned Fajitas and 30 ground.
Congrats! That's awesome. My buddy and I may go next year to hunt with his brother who lives in North Pole.
