Got back Monday from bow-hunting Dall's Sheep in the Northwest Territories. Finally had success on this trip, which was my 2nd try for this species in that province. I shared the full story over on bowsite, and here is the link for anyone who may be interested in reading about a trip of this type. The Mackenzie mountains in the NWT rank as some of the most remote, untouched, pristine wilderness in the world, with a diversity of game animals. You'll never see a road, a trail, or a man-made object or structure of any kind. Just beautiful. Experienced some wicked weather during about half the hunt, and encountered a few other adversities as mentioned in the story. But overall the final result and overall wilderness experience were well worth the effort spent. http://forums.bowsite.com/tf/bgforums/thread.cfm?threadid=456749&messages=121&forum=12 ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hollygarrett.com/152RamDown.jpg)

That makes three out of four rams towards an archery sheep grand slam! Quite an impressive accomplishment ...especially with archery gear.
Plus, two successful DIY mountain goat hunts with bow and arrow. Just incredible!
You are certainly living the dream my friend!
Congrats!

Thanks guys. Pav, yes a slam would seem like the perfect excuse to keep hunting sheep. I will hope that the redhead understands why a Desert ram is now an absolute "must have"...lol.

Congrats Greg! Great hunt and great recap as always.
Good luck on the sheep grand slam!
It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're flying with a bunch of turkeys.
