Rainy Pass lodge has the reputation for producing good rams year after year. Has been that way since 40's. It's getting hunted pretty hard these last few years, and I haven't heard much about it since the late 90's. If I had my guess, though, since you are working with a guide that has been there for some number of years, I'd say your chance for success is pretty good. Just listen to your guide and outfitter. I've seen a lot of people on the internet going after sheep for the first saying they won't take less than a 40" ram. There just aren't that many of those rascals running around these days. Any mature representative ram in that area is a fine trophy indeed. You may have a good chance at a 40"er, but very few hunters each year take one.

I've yet to take one, and I've been at it (as a resident) for a long while now. Then again, though, I've never hired a guide. The Alaska range rams typically have a wide spread compared to the Chugach or Wrangell rams, though not quite as much mass. That is just a rough generalization, though. They are beautiful animals.

I'd say the Rainy Pass area is as good a place as any in the state for success on a big ram, especially if your guide does his homework before the season starts.

Oh yeah, I do believe the 300 Mag would be perfect for hunting the Rainy Pass area, as long as the rifle isn't too heavy.
