30-Day Mixed-Bag Hunt with

The Conklin Foundation and Grand Slam Club/Ovis are proud to announce a very special item for the 2008 Conklin Award Event Auction. This donation is a reminder of a bygone era when hunters took to the mountains for weeks at a time in pursuit of rugged game..

Jim and Adrienne Fink, owners of Blackstone Outfitters have made an amazing and generous donation, a 30-day hunt in their area of the Yukon Territory. This absolutely amazing donation includes daily rates for a 30 day hunt and includes the trophy fees for a Dall or Fannin ram, Alaska-Yukon moose, barren ground caribou, and interior grizzly bear. Jim and Adrienne run one of the best hunting outfits in all-of-the Northwest. This hunt is reminiscent of the time when hunters went north for an extended period and were able to hunt every species they came across. This will be that type of “old fashioned” adventure. Blackstone’s area is carefully and thoughtfully managed to allow each

hunter an opportunity at trophy game and usually produces 60% Fannins, but in reality, virtually all of their sheep have some degree of color. Blackstone Outfitters stays booked for sheep several years in advance. With the ever-increasing demand for Stone sheep, and equally increasing price, this hunt is a phenomenal opportunity. This is one of the few openings they have for sheep in the next four years. All 30 days can be used to concentrate on a superior ram trophy, or be used to try and harvest good specimens of each species available. As you can see, the Blackstone area has fantastic moose, caribou, and excellent grizzly as well.

To make this unbelievable donation even better, Jim and Adrienne will even allow the buyer to break this donation up into two hunts during the same season! The dates for this option must be decided and agreed upon with Jim immediately following the auction. We are very honored to be able to offer this incredible opportunity. This is a real wilderness hunt in a game rich area that has the potential to produce above average trophies. Hunting the Yukon with Blackstone Outfitters is truly an amazing experience. Dates for this hunt are August 12-September 10, 2009.
