Congratulations high bidder Miguel Gorostidi (Spain)!
Value: $35,000
The name Kelley means great Alberta bighorns!
The late George Kelley spent decades building an unequalled reputation in Alberta bighorn guiding and outfitting. His son Kipp Kelley was a big part of the operation for several years before George passed away in February 2007. Kipp carried on the family's legendary tradition. The rams pictured here are just a few examples of their amazing success. All are GSCO members and reports have run in our publication Grand Slam® This operation boasts the best success percentage of any long-term Alberta outfitting company. It is a rare opportunity that this cancellation hunt has become available. GSCO is proud to be able to offer it to our internet family.
