Dave,
If I remember from 24HrC, those pics are from Kodiak, is that correct? Beautiful country, no question.

What kind of spotting scope is that and how do you like it? I've got an older B&L 20-60x that has good optics, but weighs a flippin' ton.

I think Ovis is already in the Brooks Range for sheep, and come Wednesday, I'll be chasing the glacier ghosts here in Southcentral. Might take a nice black bear if the opportunity presents itself and a ram is in the game bag.

We are hoping to get out around Knight Island for deer later this year, probably in late October or early November. Boss might kill me though. The sheep hunt is a 10 day hunt, so I'll be back in the office on the 20th, but I take off for Zimbabwe on Sept 15 for nearly 3 weeks. With the way the reports are coming in from the pilots of SAA, it may be 3 weeks!

Good luck on those blacktails. Tasty critters.
