While hunters and guides with other outfitters made the mistake of trying to leave in Helicopters and Planes which would take their lives, Dave and Dallas made sure we stayed put and out of harms way. The hunt concluded with a Trophy Mountain Caribou and a tremendous 13 1/2 year old broomed Dall Sheep and the memories of a 40th Birthday that I will never forget.

I have since returned to harvest a Alaska-Yukon Moose and have a deposit to return for another Dall Sheep Hunt.
