Bryan Spake
Alaskan hunter works HARD for his Dall Sheep

NAME: Bryan Spake WHERE FROM: Fairbanks, Alaska HARVESTED: Wrangell Mountains, Alaska TYPE OF FIREARM OR BOW USED: 300 Remington Ultra Mag SPECIES TYPE: Dall Sheep SIZE AND WEIGHT: 12 year old, 38 inches DESCRIPTION: On day 12 of a 15-day sheep hunt I spotted 4 rams in a valley floor. I played cat-and-mouse with the rams for two days, until they finally made a mistake and let me get 350 yards from them. I took the biggest ram after a volley of shots as they ran up the side of a mountain. I had to hike the ram out 15 miles on my back to get back to camp and my 4-wheeler. The packed weighed 100 lbs with meat and horns, the hike back to 10 hours straight.
