Awesome! Your story is the pure definition of perseverence! Kudos to you for hanging in against all odds and coming out with your goals achieved!! When I'm making the next pack out of a canyon with meat on my back, I will think of your story to make my trip seem easy.....:applause:

Freakin awesome buddy!
I found some "low hills" in the area we plan to hunt this fall that look pretty promising. Should be a cake walk after that hunt.
What a gorgeous ram.

Awsome pics, great Ram! Life is GOOD!
would love to be the ONE to put a tape on it officially. Let me know if you need a measurer reference in your area, look here: http://www.nwbiggame.com/measurers.cfm
with a Ram that nice, I hope your feet hurt for months! just to savor it and get all the juices out of that memory that you can :wink:

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll try and answer a few questions.....I've been licking my wounds catching about 50 rainbows and dolly's on the kenai the last three days to help heal my ankles. Rough I know.....:wink: Anyhow, I don't think I can put the oufitters name I used on here, but feel free to PM me and I'll gladly give it to you. They did an excellent job and the guide I had in the field deserved every cent of his tip for working hard and not giving up. We hunted the Chugach range which this year is a general hunt area, but next year will be a draw. I actually looked at my video last night and could clearly see the numbers on the plane that buzzed the rams. We looked it up and he's an outfitter here locally, but he'll get his due. When I took the skull into F&W to be stamped they wanted this matter to be given to state officials immediately to get after him. So that's on tomorrows adgenda. The boots I wore were Mendle's (thanks to my gf for buying them as a present) and although I did get some blisters, it would be almost impossible not to in that terrain. The boots worked well. As for my mount, it's going to be a full shoulder with the front two legs on a rock. Should be pretty cool and can't wait. I'll defintely need an official scorer when I get back though, F&G had measrurements there for thier records with one side right at 41" and the other at 40 1/8, with bases at 13 5/8 I believe. It puts me exactly on for B&C possibly, but it'll be close. Anyhow, I learned a lot and now I'm working on getting my fat layer back to normal before the elk start to bugle. :grin:

That is I think the first hunting story that I'm not 100% positive I could have endured all that you did without losing PMA positive mental attitude.
I could absolutely feel the pucker factor when your rifle bumped the cliff and you had to grab on to save yourself.
I grew up in Alaska and I just don't think people understand how incredibly verticle all that country is.
Way to stay in the game, this was one of the best stories I have read on Ifish the shear adversity you worked through makes me want to lace up my boots and get back out hunting elk....compared to what you went throught that it will be a walk in the park. I was getting down on myself but that story helped and put things into perspective.

Typically I don't get through a story on here, but yours was exceptional. Way to go, what a feat!
