A listener of the show, Andrew, joins us to share the story about his unguided Dall Sheep hunt in Alaska. Navigating the mountains as a non-resident via the next-of-kin rule, Andrew underwent a massive mental and physical transformation to prepare for one of the most rugged hunts you can imagine.
What we discuss:
The Prep: Cutting pack weight down and testing the bounds of mental toughness.
The Crisis: Dealing with back-to-back rifle misfires/primer strikes with a legal ram in his crosshairs.
The Reward: Taking a phenomenal 40-inch, green-scoring Boone & Crockett ram.
The Packout: Navigating endless alders, a 7-hour bushwhack, and getting weathered-in at a remote cabin.
Housekeeping: Did the last episode (Blueprint 07) sound glitchy or have an echo? We caught a hosting file error early on and fixed it, but some podcast apps did not import the new version. To get the correct version, play the episode at https://exomtngear.com/blogs/podcast/bbp-7.
