Ram

Ram

Ram hunts are conducted in the GMU 16B of the Alaska Range. We will land on a gravel bar or ridge line depending on weather and where the rams are located. I spend a lot of time in the field prior to the hunts locating quality trophies to ensure we do not merely go on a camping trip. The area we hunt is remote and difficult to access with swamps and rivers to navigate before you reach the alders choking the valley floors and the mountain bases. Above the brush line the terrain is extremely rugged. You will need to be in excellent physical and mental condition and be equipped with quality gear. We will be in a spike camp for up to 10 days sparing no effort to accomplish your trophy ram dreams. 

Once the animal is harvested the meat will be kept as cool, clean, and dry as possible. I personally take care of the processing of the game meat. The hunter if he desires can take both backstraps tenderloins and a rear quarter; the remaining meat will be kept and used by the owner operator. The cape, and horns will be cleaned and brought to an expeditor to ship to your desired taxidermist.

These hunts are very difficult and unbelievably rewarding should you choose to brave any and all adversities. 

Day 1: Arrival

We pick you up from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport

Once you land, your gear will be assessed. If anything is needed or missing, supplies can be bought in town.

We will arrange transport from Ted Stevens to Birchwood Airport where we will depart in a Cessna 185 or Super Cub plane to our destination.

Once you land, there will be a hike to the campsite that has already been set. I take a lot of time in the off season to scout and will have been to the area before you arrive to set camp and scout.

Day 2-10: The Hunt

Day will be spent navigating rugged terrain, tracking the target animal.

Once you land, your gear will be assessed. If anything is needed or missing, supplies can be bought in town.
