Sandbrew,
I am wondering what Bruce's success rate is on full curls? A full curl Cali is a rare find, indeed. Would hate to shell out that kind of ca$h for what would amount to a 10 day scouting trip, followed by a 4 day ram hunt. I'd be willing to give it a try (need this sheep for my GS), but the $15,000 I'd spend would pale in comparison to the divorce settlement ("Honey, I know you let me go Dall hunting last year, but this hunt is a steal"). I definitely know what it's like to be in the middle of raising kids and keeping my better half happy. Best of luck to you in finding a buyer!
Predator,
FWIW, from the research I've done a Cali hunt in BC fetches anything from $14,000 with a $5,000 trophy fee to upwards of $38,000 depending upon which outfit you book with. The key, of course, is finding an outfitter with a guaranteed 3/4 curl permit. Find that and the success rate is often very good. The draw back is generally higher prices.
