There are not very many opportunities in life when we are able to pose for a photo like this. You will need to tune in to the Sportsman Channel next year to see this shake out! Which ram would you prefer, left or right?!?!?! #whatgetsyououtdoors #eatsleephunt #nature #adventure #travel #explore #camping #wanderlust #getoutside #fishing #photooftheday #hunting #outdoor #wildernessculture #exploremore #wildsheepfoundation #wildsheepsociety #wildsheepforever #wildsheep #sheephunting #fullcurlfriday

I had a great run listening to @ryanmichler and the @orderofman podcast. Ryan interviews @doctorgadsaad where they talk about “How infectious ideas kill common sense”
It was a fantastic listen and one that I highly recommend. Check it out!

When the days get shorter and colder up here in the North Country, I turn to Princeton Tec's Apex Extreme head torch. This unit is where I turn when I know that a big part of my waking hours will be with a need for light, and when I want to focus on hunting and not on fiddling with gear.⁠

The tripod is one of those pieces of gear that doesn't get most guys very excited. If you're one of those people, hear me out. The tripod is at the heart of good glassing in western hunting, whether with your binoculars or your spotting scope. Less well-known is how effective a tripod can be when shooting. In most cases, you will be a more effective shooter if you use your tripod to stabilize your rifle. I will go into more detail about this in another video, so stay tuned for that. In this video, I will describe how I select a tripod for a particular hunt.
I have two tripods, and I decide which one to take on a hunt based on the kind of hunt I have planned (the terrain, how I am travelling, the animal and the sort of shooting opportunities I can expect). My two tripods are the Really Right Stuff Ascend-14 and the Really Right Stuff TFC-33 Ultralight. Both of these are incredibly strong and stable and manufactured to the highest standards. Where they differ most significantly is in their maximum height and their weight. As with all things, the slightly heavier Ultralight brings a taller size at full extension and increased stability. The Ultralight is perfect if its additional weight and bulk are not a concern, such as on mechanized hunts and when vegetation and terrain may dictate a standing or a long shot. Target shooters love the Ultralight for its stability.
The Ascend-14 is my go-to tripod for more challenging mountain hunts, such as sheep hunts, and when I can anticipate a prone shot. In this video, I go over some of the nuances of each tripod and how I make my selection. No matter what, both of these tripods are going to make your glassing and shooting more effortless and successful.

We all make mistakes. We'd been making our way off the mountain and I was pretty sure the route was good. It was good, but I would have needed 60 m of rope or a hang glider to get past the cliff face. My only choice was to turn around and head back up the hill in search of a more reasonable path.⁠
This was the final pack out of my Dall's Sheep hunt with Canol Outfitters in the Northwest Territories.

Time is of the essence. The sun is dropping. The time we've got to make this happen is disappearing quickly, and I can't find that bull. I've got my @gunwerks ClymR locked and loaded on my @rrssoar TFC-33 Ultralight tripod, ready to deploy my system once I can navigate this shoulder-high brush and weave through the stand of timber.

Princeton Tec's Apex rechargeable head torch is an amazing piece of gear. It's got a seemingly endless battery life, incredible durability and waterproofness, a replaceable and rechargeable USB battery pack, and the power to get you through the longest night. Head over to the link in my bio to hear what I have to say about this outstanding head torch.⁠

Sometimes you can't make it up. The average age in the hunting party was in the early to mid-forties. Nothing wrong with that, right? What could go wrong? Well, when you consider that my son was eight years old, you can start to figure out that my dad is almost, but not quite, over the hill (the mountain, in this case).⁠

The skimmer is normally how I transport gear and meat while hunting bison in the wintertime up here in the Yukon. Recently I had the "opportunity" to hunt moose in the late season, and the only way to get it done was with the snow machine. It's pretty wild, these short days, long nights, and deep snow, along with the snow machine, to be hunting moose when everything I'm doing screams "bison". Spoiler alert: We got a great bull.
