I have a Dall sheep in my freezer that I've been eating on. Nasty, greasy, real nasty, but it makes good carnequisada.

maybe you could hook up with rattdog to get on some caribou.
Good though. As I start knocking out this list and posting it here I'm hoping other will have advise and ideas as well as places to go. My goal is to take the whole list with 1 rifle. I'm doing a lot of testing with my 338 win mag and Barnes ttsx bullets
I was just going to say that, I was thinking a .30-06, and one load, probably 180gr load.
sounds like your on the right track. This will quite an endeavor.

As for the polar bear... unless you're AK Native, residing in the hunting unit... no bueno on getting a "legal" shot at one. Canadian Arctic... you can get a guided hunt/tag... but (as I recall) cannot import the hide into the U.S., it remains in Canada.
And, Alaskan Brown Bear? A non-resident MUST be guided... plan on at least a $25K hunt. Alaskan Moose, same requirement, probably less in cost... one would be advised to combine the bear/moose with the same guide at the same hunt. Might as well sneak in a caribou tag while you're at it.
Kodiak... you have the opportunity of: Kodiak Bear (Alaskan Coastal Brown), Bison, Caribou, Elk (Roosevelt, if I recall correctly) (on neighboring Ahfognak Island, Sitka Blacktail. I used to work with a gal from Kodiak, she has family that do some guiding there.

There are some guides for sheep that are upwards of $50k. Won't be a cheap endeavor but it will be fun trying. If I remember correctly, there are 30 animals on the main 29 animal list so I may get away with not having to go for a polar bear. Guess ill see how it goes one at a time.
I have found a few guides for Alaska hunts that can knock out a few animals on the list all at once and over all the price isn't too bad.
Just going to have to take it one hunt at a time and see what I can get. I'm hoping to knock out white tail and black bear this year

Here is another trivia question: In the early 1960's P.O. Ackley developed a round and chambered a rifle for it. It was the .22 eargesplitten loudenboomer. It was based on the .378 Weatherby case and was built in an attempt to set a .22 caliber velocity record. With a charge of 105 gr of H570 he achieved 4600fps with a 50gr bullet. He then sent the rifle to an individual to further this work. Here is the questions, 1. who did he send it to. 2. Where was this man employed. 3. what was the final outcome of these tests.
Good luck.
Good luck.
yesser, you are right but, the rifle? What happened to it?

Your right about the sheep.
Big horn sheep are freaking expensive. I have a friend who is part of some sort of sheep club and for a couple hundred dollars a year his name is thrown into a hat for a big horn sheep hunt.
Funny thing is he owns an exotic ranch with trophy white tail, markour, Iranian red sheep, elk, auodad and a host of other big game animals, but he dreams about a big horn sheep.
Funny how that works, always want what you can't have.
Good luck on your endeavor, I hope there are a ton of pics, just the locations and scenery are worth the trips!!
There will be a lot of pictures as this goes on. Ill have to start a thread for it. I know the super slam web page has all kinds of drawings and there is a $1200 a year club that almost guarantees you some kind of win in their raffles. Too rich for my blood rightnow
