Tom and I were choppered into in the Liard Range, which in satellite images looks like a long, scoliotic spine rising from the banks of the Liard River...

Stone’s Sheep are monarchs. Royalty of the high country. They rule from high thrones in high places, perched on impossible spires in their mountain palaces.
Only men with strong hearts and strong legs pursue them. Countless hunters hear the call, but few have the fortitude to return with the treasure they seek. In the summer of 2011, my brother Cam and I pursued Stone’s Sheep in the Cassiar Mountains of British Columbia. We tried to catch on film our passion for the mountains, our love of bowhunting sheep and the bond we share as brothers.
Special thanks to Cam for teaming up with me on this hunt. His knowledge of sheep, mental toughness and physical ability in the mountains are matched by few. Both of us are eternally inspired by our father – a great bowhunter, sheep guide and friend.

We snuck out and moved up the ridge. Not 10 minutes later, Blake spotted two more rams in the basin just below us. I scoped them, and one was obviously legal. Game on...

I saw the horns appear and came to full draw as I heard Dustin call out the distance at 30 yards. The ram was walking by and was slightly quartered away when Dustin stopped him with a soft "baa" sound...
