[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2299527, member: 12443"] Hanging on the wall of our Pa camp is a Dall ram, along with a moose and grizzley all shot by my father on a Yukon hunt in 1952. There were 3 hunters total on the 30 day hunt with Alex Van Bibber. Each had his own guide, there was also a cook and 2 horse wranglers for the 27 horses used on the trip. Each hunter killed a bear a moose and a sheep, and the all used 30/06 rifles. The cost of the hunt was $1500.00 each for the 30 days. The Alcan highway was a dirt road the entire length at that time, and the entire trip from Pa took them almost 2 months. I have since known at least 10 others who took a hunt for sheep and they all came home with a sheep. None of the people mentioned were into long range hunting at all, and all were far from what we might today call an expert shot. If your physical condition is good you will no doubt do well, assuming you take along very good optics for glassing. [/QUOTE]
