Hunting Dall Sheep with Mountain Monarchs is by far
the greatest hunting experience I have had. Dave runs a convenient,
first class operation and it is easy to see why he is the best when you
fly into Bettles and he is the only outfitter waiting on his hunter.
Guides Martin and Riley were amazing and I was extremely impressed with
their knowledge of the terrain and sheep, and how they kept me informed
on what to expect. The area they hunt is absolutely amazing and it
is obvious that they have top notch animals. These three guys have truly
become friends, and I look forward to hunting brown bear with them and
sheep again soon. Thanks for a great hunt and a memory that will
last a life time!”

Well first off, thank you very much for the awesome time had in Alaska!!!!
Sorry to say Dave, but I’m glad you were too busy to baby sit me, cause I
had the best time and experiences, with the most awesome (but motley
looking) crew!
I would do it again in a flash! I know Shane and Jim were also MORE than
happy with their Trophies and hunts.
And the food, my god! I didn’t expect to be eating so well!! I was pretty
hesitant though when the 13 yo sheep come out, I wasn’t gonna enjoy this
one, I was thinking. But, again I was blown away with it! How the hell could
an old ram taste so sweet?
So when can we do it all again?
Well I hope the rest of your time there is enjoyable, we may see you before
the new year.
Cheers for now

I once
again want to thank you and your staff for the wonderful Brown Bear Hunt
this past fall, October 2011.
I
was very impressed with the organization and competence of you and your
entire staff during the hunt. The equipment was top notch and
all of your staff were very professional, friendly and worked very well
together. The food was great both quantity and quality. Lee was
an outstanding guide, a real pleasure to be with in our spike camp during
the hunt. Last but not least your territory is second to none for producing
excellent Brown Bear. Hope to hunt with you and your outfit again in the
near future.
Best

you guys did for Mark and I. Its not hard to see that you run a quality

make a lasting impression. They truley are a Great bunch of guy's.
From booking to helping me aquire the right gear for the trip to meeting
me when I stepped off the plane. Dave and Martin thanks for a trip and a
Ram of a life time. Can't wait to come back!!

Here is the
difference, and it makes a lot of difference. When you go with Mountain
Monarchs of Alaska and Dave Leonard you can be sure he will do
everything possible to make your hunt a success. He has great areas and
if one place is not productive he will move you to a place that is. If
you want a real hunt and not just a camping trip with a guide going
through the motions, go with Dave; he will make it happen for you.

Dave, I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you and your staff
for a spectacular sheep hunt. A 12 year old ram w/ 35" horns was exactly
what I was looking for. After hunting caribou last year with you on the
Noatak, I knew that booking the sheep hunt with you was the right
decision. It was the hunt I had dreamed about for 35 years. It was the
hardest thing I have ever done, both physically and mentally, but Riley
kept me going and took great care of me the whole time. It was the time
of my life and I hope someday we can share another hunting camp.
"It was the crowning achievement of my hunting career".

My Brown Bear hunt with Dave Leonard's Mountain Monarchs of Alaska. It was the Third hunt I have done with Him. The first was a fall bear hunt (2007) from the David river lodge and was not successful for bear although I did take a beautiful wolf . The second was a Dall sheep hunt(2008) in unit 23 in the Delong Mountains and harvested a 39 " 15 year old ram.....15 years old!! This bear was taken on my second day of hunting (missed the first day because Pen Air did not have my baggage on the plane into Cold Bay) We saw 10 different bears in the two days I hunted 4 of which my very experienced guide estimated to be as big as the bear I took or Bigger. I guess the highlight was when we made the stalk on this bear and was about to shoot at 80 yards A Different Boar of about the same size came around the cliff face in our direction. We debated about 2 minutes as to which was bigger.....must be the official Brown bear Zoo of Alaska! I harvested this Bear because I liked its Color . Dave Has great Guides and support staff .All Equipment was in very good shape and the bush pilot that flew for him(he flys as well) was top shelf.
Hope this helps
