A full curl makes it better

Leith Henn and her full curl dall sheep

Leigh Henn and her guide and boyfriend, Jason Stanton, were hiking in the Chugach Mountain Range in Alaska and had been hiking for about six hours, some of the time crawling on their stomachs when Leigh spotted this full curl Dall Sheep, sometimes called Thinhorn Sheep. The northern Dall Sheep proper is almost pure white. This species of wild sheep lives in the mountainous region of northwest North America.

It is illegal to shoot these animals if they don't have the full curl. This one did, and Leigh downed him with the first shot. She stated there were four Dall Sheep that walked out in front of her, but only this one had a full curl.

This Dall Sheep is already at the taxidermist, and Leigh is still smiling and telling everyone about her big kill.

Leigh Henn is the daughter of Dick and Sylvia Larson.
