So this was my 4th year in the mountains chasing sheep. There was lots of ups and down along the journey. We were 2 days by horse back from any civilization. I finally gained enough knowledge to bring it all together. I have bought some of my gear off the EE here, rifle and spotting scope. I learned this year that the first lite rain gear I own might be ok in a deer stand but has no business keeping you alive on a mountain. My partners new Crispi boots failed also. I learned a ton about horse riding and caring for them, how to tie a pack horse and about loading the boxes. The bugs were heavy but the worst part was the grizzly problems. We chased a sow and cub out of camp one day, the following day we lost all the boned out meat and my sill tarp to another bear. It was a great adventure with many memories made but I think fly in hunt will be in the future rather than horses. Sorry the pictures are sideways, not sure why it does that6678B842-3E70-49EF-9210-3FACB4D3D861.jpg

Heck of a ram! Congratulations! This was the first year we didn’t see any grizzly‘s, hunt #2 in September tho so that might change lol.

Cheers!
 
wow beauty ram! whats your guess on age? I would venture about 10yrs. Thanks for sharing!

havent gone out this year yet but last year we had grizzlies in every basin we hunted. i went with KUIU for raingear, going on about 4 years now and no complaints, kept me warm and dry in the few downpours. Surprising about the crispi boots - what failed? sole separated?

The sole started to separate right at the front of the toe. We figure the ram is either 9 or 10. He had some busted up teeth in the front. He was definitely showing some age.
 
Beauty ram! My partner and I got a 10 year old as well this year. We were also charged by a grizzly, my partners meindle boot blew out, and I was very disappointed in my fancy new stone glacier rain gear! Back to the HH rubber for me!

Which First Lite rain gear? How did it fail?

Nice ram, that’s a dream hunt for me as flat ground easterner.

No sure of the model, they were given to me. They are very light weight and have zippers down the legs. Anyway the water soaked right through the fabric and everything else underneath ended up wet from day 1. I might as well not even had them on. It’s back to Helly Hanson for me.

Sounds like a similar trip!
