Discovered the video maker on my iPhone recently. Went back and had it produce this video from the photos of my 2018 Hunt with North Curl Outfitters.

Thanks for sharing...that's a really nice ram..like to see pics of him if you had him mounted
im 69 and have hunted nm tx co wy since i was 12...went to the yukon in 09...when i stepped out of the last plane on a dock, id been on 6 planes starting in nm...i could write a short book ...it was the greatest adventure in my life...what we call rivers they call creeks, what we call valleys they call canyons...the mountains are endless...i will tell one short part..i shot a record book caribou miles south of camp on a drainage that led up to camp...by the time we got it on the horses it was dark...we rode in total darkness for about 3 hours, the horses knew the way...the brush would hit my face and i finally put my head on the saddle horn....i got motion sickness, if i had eaten anything i would have puked...finally i could see the lake by the cabin, when we tied the horses and got my feet on the ground the nausea left...at the time i was a cowboy!! if you get a chance to go to the yukon go!!

Must be a neat rick to put your head on the "saddle horn". I am not hudini enough. I have rode many miles in the dark in Colorado...it all depends on the horse. Glad you had a great experience.

It was nice for the first 3 days. Fortunately for us we got him on day three because the weather changed for the worse on day 4 and I was tent bound for almost the rest of the trip. Was hoping to get out and do some fishing or help out one of the other hunters...but that didnt happen!Magnificent ram--much congrats!! I'm also envious of all the blue skies I saw in that video...
WOW !!! THE VIDEO BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF MY 2005 DALL HUNT WITH WIDRIG OUTFITTERS. TOOK A NICE DALL ,AND A RECORD MOUNTAIN CARIBOU, MISSED 2 WOLVES, & SAW A GOOD NUMBER OF GRIZZ IN THE BERRY PATCHES. SHEEP GOT INTO MY BLOOD & I HAD TO GO TO THE WHITEHORSE AREA TO FLY IN. THEN RODE 22 MILES BACK. HAD A 26 YEAR OLD CREE INDIAN GUIDE WHO WAS LIVING ON THE EDGE OF LIFE. THE YUKON EXPERIENCE IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. ATE SHEEP, CARIBOU, EVEN HAD A GRIZZLY POT ROAST....IT WAS REALLY GOOD. BILL KRENTZ KILLED THE GRIZZ. HE WAS A OUTDOOR WRITER.....RIP BILL. COULD NOT AFFORD THE TRIP AT THE TIME, BUT WENT JUST SAME............GLAD I DID !!!!................YUKONDALL.

I can relate to that! Fortunately I made it happen on the second trip.
after you about get your face and ears raked off you can put your taint on the cantle and get it done...its kinda a trade off

I hear that! I need a stone to complete my slam. I personally would rather have my kid have some extra money when I’m gone before I spend a crazy amount of money for a week long hunt.
