    Sikanni River is a quality outfitter and I'm sure you'll enjoy the trip.

      Wow three bucket list hunts at once, congrats sir. I'm 29 in December and not even close to taking on a hunt of that caliber. Again congrats.

I am attempting to do a combo hunt with them for mountain lion about 3 hours west of the ranch in Lamar. I hate that it wont officially make NORTH AMERICAN 29 but it definitely will be a serious bowhunt in some rough ravines.
        Man, don't worry too much about the 29 and the rules. Use it as a personal goal and benchmark and chase the heck out of it!!! I wanted the 29 badly with a bow. Now I have a rifle shot mountain goat, rifle shot barren ground caribou, and a bow/rifle dall sheep combo. Plus 10 or 11 straight bow killed players added in. I doubt I will go back and get all three with a bow and can't tell what will happen in the future. Not positive I will ever do the polar bear and some caribou herds get tougher to get at. Plus, I have entered zero of my animals in p&y or B&C. For me it is a personal goal and I will work hard and sacrifice what I can to chase it. It has been a blast so far and I'm only about half way there!

          Yea, I am definitely understanding that line of thought. The polar bear (restrictions) and rams *cost) are absolutely my Achilles heel in this quest. The cost of governors tags are scary and the timelines to get some of the tags would put me in my mid 60's. I was hoping to do the bison on a Indian reservation but that is harder than I perceived also. I was hoping since P&Y had finally made some positive changes lighted knocks, fresh board members, etc that they were going to allow 3 new areas for free range bison. With 40,000 acres and the age structure of the herd this hunt should be all I can handle if I pull the trigger. Most of my animals are in SCI so that is my route on this I guess.

              My moose hunt was 10,500$ and the bison is on trophy fee for 4000$

              If you can do more than one animal it saves you a lot of money

                The gsco does recognize the Colorado herds of bison. Just not pope and young.

                      I'm jealous! A moose is number one on my list whenever I get out of college and get financially stable! And a bison is near the top as well! You have the opportunity to get both in one trip! I wish you the best of luck!
