That’s pretty dang close. That line to make 4/5 can actually come back a bit where it hits the eye. When caped out you gain a fair amount of leeway. I bet 1/2 an inch or more. But, you got it right.
Awesome write up accompanied by great photos as we have all come to expect from a docmay hunt. I really like the daily “notes” on your phone. Keeps those thoughts and feelings in the moment fresh. When retelling stories, we tend to remember things better (or worse) than they actually were in the moment. I know it’s maybe not the caliber of ram you set out for, but a legal ram in that country is an accomplishment to any hunter and I hope you display him with pride like your other amazing mounts.
I look forward to the write ups for the next adventure after Ibex with the Mrs and the Polar Bear should be EPIC.
Since you can’t bring the polar bear back, what are you going to do? Do you just have the hide tanned there and keep the skull and hide in Canada hoping for a law change in the US?

I have not made a final decision on what to do if I kill the polar bear. I have been looking at a taxidermist that does replicas(Kanati). They are **** good and I want a white bear in the house. I have zero faith polar bear will ever become importable. Maybe a very slim chance that bears killed before the ban get home. I’m happy with an awesome experience and pics. I put it off for a while because I couldn’t imagine not bringing the trophy home. I have lots of mounts at home and for me hunting is about the adventure. I’ll figure more out as it gets closer.
