This last August was a third Dall sheep hunt for him and a success. He went with three other men and was flown to the headwater of the 70 mile River Northeast of Fairbanks Alaska by 40-Mile Air. They made base camp in very rugged landscape and hiked in and up and over for miles. All hunters were successful in getting a Dall sheep of their very own, despite the bears. Neil spent an unplanned night alone on Mt.Sorenson (another story).
Neil is doing the taxidermy
work on all of the sheep. He sent the hides to New Method Fur Dressing
Co. in San Francisco for tanning and received his forms for mounting from
Jonas Supply Co. in Colorado.
We would be glad to share more
information with you and would appreciate any comments from friends
and new surfer buddies.
