In 1998, I drew a tag for a sheep hunt in the coveted Tok Management Area, one of the top trophy Dall sheep areas in the world. I'd just started hunting in Alaska. I didn't have the "right" gear, didn't really have a clue what I was doing and had never killed anything bigger than a spike buck previously. But I headed into the mountains anyway, all by myself. For a week those rams absolutely schooled me to the point where I'd given up. I was never going to kill a trophy class animal. I was literally hiking out the morning of day 7 when I looked back over my shoulder and saw those rams again come down out of the crags. When it comes to sheep hunting I've never looked back since.

how did you decide to put in for sheep hunts to begin with? was this your first ever sheep hunt? guess i just don't remember if we talked about this.
i'm thinking about someone's first deer.
