    My cousin Jeff shot his 1st Dall Sheep…and did it with his stick and string that he hand made himself! Here is a quick summary in his owns words!

    Hey Mike,,, Thanks Man,

    I just came back from Game & Fish they aged him at 13yrs. Old Bruiser. Mike I followed him for 4 day’s he started out with 4 rams and by the 4th day there were 9 rams..
    We have the 4 day stalk and Shot on video. It is very cool.. Also had a Grizzley charge me and got that on video.. When I get a copy I’ll send you one!! Ol Cuz almost ended up as grizzly crap!!

    Congrats Jeff on another awesome trophy! He was able to stalk up to this beast and shoot him at 18 yards! You are my hero cuz!

    WOW. Not much else to say except CONGRATS!!! A true trophy with any weapon but using a hand made bow adds a whole new level of respect.

    Definately a trophy of a lifetime! So how does he top that? Hunt with a pocket knife or a club?

    I’d be so proud of that kill that I’d have a billboard put in my yard with that picture on it!

    It just doesn’t get much better than that! I like how he brushes off that he got charged by a grizzly!

    Hey Mike,
    I just wanted to wish Dan, you and the family good luck to ya and let the wind out of a big one, or two, or three.. I’m just thrilled with that Dall Ram, I have several people wanting me to build them a bow!! Pretty funny!! Sometimes buddy it’s better to be Lucky then GOOD!! I was damn lucky!!I remembered your site from last year! You Pearson boy’s got it going on,, Except for your football team!! I’ll be trying my luck on another moose when I get home and you never know about those Grizzlys!! Mike your going to laugh.. one of my good friends was going sheep hunting with his compound bow, He was at my house shooting at my dall sheep target, asked me if I wanted to try his bow,, I said sure, Pulled it back with my fingers hit the sweet spot the string jumped from my hand and the bow blew up into a million pieces!! Danny & Quinn were watching!! I was in shock! My Buddy was flying out to go hunting the next morning, We live remote 4 hrs from Anchorage.. I felt so bad I told him jump in the plane and I’ll find ya a big ram,, We flew around and found a nice Ram, The next day he flew in with a air taxi and 3 or 4 day’s later killed the sheep we found a 40 5/8 X 13.5 bases Dall Ram, Awesome critter!! He killed it with a rifle, In a tough area!! i’ll send ya a pic when he sends me some!! He had a good sense of humor!! Told me if I build him a bow we are even!!
    Be safe Mike I’ll keep ya posted Buddy,, Tell the Family Hi and Give my God Mother a Squeeze from me!!
    Jeff

    Hey Mike,
    Just a update Quinn & Myself went moose hunting and saw Stalked the 2nd biggest bull of my life.. It made the moose I shot last year look like a runt..I’m serious Mike,, SLOOB!! We have it on video. got within 40 yrds 3 different times, I should have tried a down hill shot but thought I could close the gap a little.. Needless to say he made it through hunting season and Quinn had a blast flying out with me in the super cub and landing on a little remote 400ft strip plus shooting video’s!! It seems like your site has a bunch of good guy’s on it and I wish everybody a safe & successful hunting season!! If anyone has any info on New Mexico unit 2b late season archery hunt for Mule Deer I’d appreciate it.. I drew this tag with a Eau Claire bow hunter and I started the research part of the hunt.. Season is Jan 1st through the 15.. Any info would be again Greatly appreciated!! Thanks Again for all the kind accolades but I just hunt hard and as often as I can!! Again Thanks and Hunt Hard!!
