Larry L. Altimus has been hunting sheep annually since he took his first record book bighorn in Montana's unlimited area in September of 1969. Robert Anderson's highly acclaimed book Great Rams and Great Ram Hunters accounts many of Altimus' rams. He says "Few sheep hunters have hunted harder or against greater odds than Larry Altimus". Thirty Eight years of mostly backpack hunting have produced several record book rams for Altimus.
He and his wife Stephanie operate Altimus Adventures Guide Service in ten western states. Their hunts are booked exclusively by clients who obtain their tags through the drawing system. Their policy is a one on one hunt with the emphasis on quality. Usually they will hire an assistant guide to accompany them with the one hunter.
Stephanie and Larry are highly accomplished alpine hunters. Both have completed the Grand Slam of North American Wild Sheep-Stephanie was only the 41st lady to accomplish this feat. Larry has harvested the last legally taken grizzly bear in the Lower 48 states in the spring of 1991. He has also taken all 10 big game species of Montana. This has been done by less than a half dozen people.

 

Altimus Adventures Guide Service is a licensed guide service in nine states and Larry L. and Stephanie Altimus along with Bo Morgan have been guiding together for over 25 years. Each hunt is personally guided and you are never given a sub-guide. If you want experience, honesty, and integrity consider sharing your next adventure with Altimus Adventures. Below are the results of a very successful and exciting 2006 season.
