CUSTOM FITTED HIGH COUNTRY EXTREME HUNTER BOOTS
Russell Moccasin
Joe Gonyo
The High Country Hunter Extreme is equipped with a new single piece Air Bob Sole that
bridges the gap between the arch and the ball of the foot for added support and vastly
improved longevity, plus an outside cleat pattern that helps stick to the mountain when
sidehilling. The Extreme is built with a True-Fit® fiberglass shank, (68% lighter than steel
but equally strong), that solidifies the arch area and makes the boot more rigid for surefooted traction. If you have ever stood on a 12” wide ledge at 14,000 feet and looked
down...seeing that the first time you would bounce is 5,000 feet below...you will immediately
understand the “walk anywhere, sure-footed traction” provided by the combination of the Air
Bob sole and a rigid walking platform. For significantly more walking comfort during long
tough during days in the mountains, a thick layer of Poron Technical Foam, (that doesn’t
compress under walking pressure), is built into the bottom of the boot. The uppers of the
High Country Hunter Extreme are lined in Turtleskin and leather...providing superb lower
leg and ankle support and protection from jagged rocks. Double vamp, made in a fine grained
wear resistant Ebbtide leather. Available in women’s sizes too. Value $567.00

WYOMING GOVERNOR’S SHIRAS MOOSE LICENSE
Wyoming Governor Matt Mead, the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission & Department,
and the North American Moose Foundation (via the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game
License Coalition) are pleased to provide the Wild Sheep Foundation Midwest Chapter with
a 2015 Shiras moose license for auction. The 2015 Wyoming Governor’s Moose License is
only valid in open hunt areas with more than 10 Type 1 any- or antlered- moose licenses
issued. For 2014 this license was valid in 12 hunt areas: 1, 5, 10, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26,
27, and 38/41. These hunt areas account for over 70% of Wyoming’s annual Shiras moose
harvest. The number of licenses issued per hunt area MAY change from year to year. Seasons
and license numbers for fall 2015 will be finalized in April 2015.
Successful purchaser may hunt any open hunt area that qualifies in accordance with the
above. The purchaser does not have to pick a specific hunt area and may hunt different hunt
areas. The five-year waiting period between moose licenses does not affect the ability to
purchase a Governor’s moose license, and purchasing this license is independent of applying
for a moose license through the draw system. The license fee ($117 for Resident, $1,416
for Non-Resident) is waived. Preference points are not affected by purchase of a Wyoming
Governor’s Moose License. 90% of the auction proceeds provide funding for Wyoming
moose projects via the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition.

COMPLETE SHEEP APPLICATION PACKAGE
Hunter Application Service
Larry & Stephanie Altimus are both long-time documented sheep hunters. They also are
highly successful outfitters, but this donation is from another highly successful enterprise,
their Hunter Application Service (HAS). They have made quite a name for themselves,
as they allow their clients to use HAS money to apply for 14 sheep applications in every
Western state that offers non-resident sheep tags. Yes, for the high bidder HAS will apply
for 14 sheep applications and provide more than $15,000 for the tag fees. HAS will also
purchase all required state hunting licenses (over $975 in value). If the high bidder has
previously applied and has bonus points, these applications will simply add to that bonus
point total. If the high bidder is drawn, he or she will be responsible only for that given sheep
tag fee (or fees, if you are lucky enough to draw more than one tag). This sounds almost too
good to be true, but it is true. I think with this explanation it becomes obvious why HAS
has been so successful over the years. Do not miss this opportunity to “do it the easy way.”

Young’s Wilderness Camp is located on a remote five acre island on Steven Bay, which is
seven miles long and comes off the famous Sabaskong Bay, Lake of the Woods, Ontario,
Canada. It is the only resort located on Stevens Bay so fishing and hunting pressure are
low as there is no public access into this area. Steven’s Bay is twenty to twenty-five feet
deep in the center, with the east end of the bay being shallow, approximately eight to ten
feet deep. It is an excellent spawning ground for all species as there are numerous bays and
coves with weed beds that drop off to the deeper water. The Musky fisherman will see
trophy fish over fifty inches long. Northern Pike, Walleye and Lake Trout are plentiful and
every so often you will catch a real trophy fish. Small mouth and Largemouth Bass provide
real excitement, especially if you use light tackle. Crappies have become so numerous they
can be caught right from our dock in the spring and fall. Included with this donation for
two people are everything needed: Meals, lodging with private shower, maid service, boat,
roomy deluxe boat equipped with pedestal seats, casting platform, live well, trolling motor,
depth finder, storage space and powered by a 40 h.p. Yamaha electric start motor, unlimited
gas, transportation to and from the island, use of boat and motor from 2:00pm on day of
arrival, private parking, dinner on day of arrival and breakfast on day of departure and 8 day
conservation fishing license. Pick up point is a private landing in Nestor Falls, Ontario. All
you need to bring is your fishing equipment, appropriate clothes, snacks and personal items.
We take care of the rest! Extra days of fishing may be purchased at the regular rate of about
$300 per person per day in Canadian Funds! Value: $2,150.00

2015 WYOMING ROCKY MOUNTAIN BIGHORN SHEEP LICENSE
Wyoming Governor Matt Mead, the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission & Department, the
Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition, and the Wyoming Wild Sheep Foundation
are pleased to provide the Wild Sheep Foundation Midwest Chapter with a 2015 Rocky Mountain
bighorn sheep license for auction. The 2015 Wyoming Governor’s Bighorn Sheep License is valid
in any open hunt area having more than 8 Type 1 ram licenses issued. The number of licenses
issued per hunt area may change from year to year. Seasons and license numbers for fall 2015
will be finalized in April 2015. In 2014, this license was valid in seven hunt areas: #1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
and 8/23. These hunt areas account for over 85% of Wyoming’s annual Rocky Mountain sheep
harvest. For further information, please contact Doug McWhirter, Wyoming Game and Fish
Department, (307) 527 7125 or Kevin Hurley, WY Wild Sheep Foundation (307) 578-8613.
Successful purchaser may hunt any open hunt area that qualifies in accordance with the above.
The purchaser does not have to pick a specific hunt area and may hunt different hunt areas. The
five-year waiting period between bighorn sheep licenses does not affect the ability to purchase a
Governor’s bighorn sheep license, and purchasing this license is independent of applying for a
bighorn sheep license through the draw system. The license fee ($122 for Resident, $2,266 for
Non-Resident) is waived. Preference points are not affected by purchase of a WY Governor’s
Bighorn Sheep License. 90% of the auction proceeds provide funding for Wyoming bighorn
sheep projects via the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition.

LONG RANGE SHOOTING SCHOOL
Mike Colpo, Lazy J Bar O Outfitters and Scott Olson
Dates June 22-24, 2015 This 3 day shooting school will not only help give you good insight
into long range hunting, it will also make you a better short range shooter too. You will also
learn from the outfitter’s perspective what is expected of you, the hunter, for your next big
game hunt. Your lead instructor is Alaska Master Guide, Mike Colpo, formerly of the US Army
Marksmanship Unit, Army Sniper School Instructor, US Team Member and winner of many
shooting disciplines. Our other instructors include NRA High Master competitive shooters who
have championship experience in the “Long Range Game”. This school will teach you the skills
to accurately make long range shots. By gaining the knowledge of today’s science and technology,
you will have the confidence necessary to accurately make the long range shot if needed. Our
goal is not to make you a “Long Range Hunter”, our goal is to give you another tool on your
hunt to help take that trophy of a lifetime. The school takes place at the Shiloh Sharps Range,
east of Big Timber, MT for the first 2 days. The third day will be a field day where we will go
into the hills and put those new skills to work. Students will be shooting at targets under realistic
hunting conditions up to 1000 yards away. There will also be a special opportunity to shoot the
instructors’ specialized rifles at targets beyond a mile away. Lunch at the range will be included
every day and an evening cookout at Mike’s home south of Big Timber. Lodging is available
in Big Timber. An accurate rifle with a turret type scope and at least a 100 rounds of ammo is
needed. Extra shooters are welcome at $1500 per shooter, space is limited. Value $1,500.00

Lazy J Bar O Outfitters
2016 Horseback 1 on 1 guided 10 Day Alaska Yukon Moose Hunt in the Alaska Range
south of Fairbanks and east of Denali Park. This area has consistently produced “Big Moose”
with near 100% opportunity. Reasonable expectations of 57” to 63” bulls with many going
65” plus and many B&C gross. This will be our 18th year of operating in this area so
we know it well. This is a spot and stalk hunt with a lot of time spent in the saddle and
glassing the country. Some hunters hunt out of our comfortable camp and others spike
out a considerable distance from base camp. Base is a wall tent type operation with all the
amenities one would expect out of a 1st class camp, spike camp is more rugged, it is up to
you and your physical needs. You will fly into Fairbanks and catch a charter to camp (approx.
$900 R/T) and hunt from horses for the duration of the hunt. Moose tag and hunting license
is $485 , caribou can be applied for in December if you wish and hunted on a trophy fee basis
along with grizzly bear $4,500.00 each and wolves no charge. When hunt is purchased please

2015 KYRGYZSTAN MARCO POLO HUNT
Asian Mountain Outfitters
Asian Mountain Outfitters offers a unique and adventurous mountain hunting experience
in Kyrgyzstan, for one of most incredible mountain sheep in the world, the majestic Marco
Polo. This is actually the Hume Argali, a subspecies of the Marco Polo sheep. The hunt date
will be Oct. or Nov. 2015 or January 2016; it is approximately an 8-9 day trip, plus travel.
This hunt is conducted on horseback/foot in high elevations (10,000-13,000’). This is not
a North American Hunt and hunters need to be prepared for cultural/language differences,
long range and sometimes quick shooting (proficient at 500+ yards). The climates are
similar to the high & dry areas of CO, NM and NV. All Kyrgyzstan hunting licenses and
fees are included; however camp staff tips are additional. The winning bidder will have
their name submitted to the USFWS, so that they will get USFWS CITES import permits.
The U.S. CITES application with USFWS is due by May 1, 2015 and costs $100. Most
of the hunting areas have a heated house or cabin and if spiking out, the hunter will use
backpack style tents. A non-hunting companion is welcome for $2,500. If hunt space is
available for an additional hunter, on the same hunt date, price is $29,500 for one Marco
Polo. A Mid-Asian Ibex can be added to this hunt for an additional $5,500. Typical sizes
for Marco Polo Rams are 44”-52” and Ibex range average 37”-45”. Considerably larger
animals of both species have been taken. Generally the hunters will take the trophy(s)
home as checked luggage, but a few of our hunters decide to have them shipped DHL or
Fed Ex and cleared, using a Wildlife broker. The hunt is to be taken during the 2015/2016
season, but arrangements can be made to postpone hunt until 2016/2017 (for an extra cost
and with approval from Asian Mountain Outfitters). The hunter is responsible for the flight
to and from Bishkek via Turkish Air/Istanbul, meals and lodging while in Bishkek (usually
2 nights), extra baggage fees for taking home skin/skull or shipping of trophies home and
staff tips (clients will be provided with tip suggestions). Asian Mountain Outfitters has their
own equipment (tents, stoves) and their Kyrgyzstan English speaking manager works with
many different outfitters, in many different locations, who provide local guides, assistants,
cooks, vehicles, horses, camps, food, and lodging. The best local guides typically do not
speak English, but are skilled hunters and horsemen. If it is your first trip to Central Asia, we
recommend a Western/English speaking guide to accompany you (price is $5,000 USD plus
all their travel and trip expenses). Hunters who elect to hunt with just the local guides need
to be able to assist in trophy judging & oversee the skin preparations. Bryan has conducted
seminars at various conventions in the past, about equipment, shooting and what should be
expected on such hunts. He has outfitted in Canada since 1999 and in Central Asia since
2002 and has personally been on many successful Marco Polo/Ibex hunts and will do his best
to educate and prepare a hunter, before the trip. Usually he spends 40-60 days each year in
Asia, to insure that AMO is very knowledgeable regarding all aspects of the hunts. Make sure
to check out Asian Mountain Outfitters website, Kyrgyzstan Marco Polo and Ibex Hunting
for more info. Value: $29,500.00.
