    Isn’t it all about the journey which starts with the planning and prep? Shooting something is a bonus if all the what’s and if’s fall into place

    There was ice on my beard just watching that. Bloody cold country and tough terrain to hoof it through.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Heard that a lot of these trophies take a plunge off a bluff when shot and there horns are easily snapped

    Cool video though. But for me a Dall ram would be on the list along with Moose, White Tail, Wapiti, Kodiak beer maybe? Out Mule deer? Feck it why not a big ass Caribou
    Then it would be on to Africa for some Black Death!!! traditional done in the thick! A Kudu, Sitatunga then back for another Cape Buff Why not ah
    I've walked in close on a big A big bull elephant in Tanzania in the Mkomazi-Umba game reserve tusks went around 90 each side. That was pretty amazing. We must have been with in 60meters of him and his two mates. To get in that next 30 the guy who took me said only if he was going to shoot him. Got plenty close in vehicles but it's just not the same as on foot.

    Not to sure about that cold though guess I prefer the hot

    Mammouth hunting in Siberia with spears must have been some sport as well ;-)

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    They're not pretty that's for sure.
    They probably view them as a challenge because of where they range but I wouldnt have any interest in taking one.

    Yeah, pretty tough conditions and for an American video, not too over hyped.

    I enjoyed watching it.
