    Is connecting through Toronto to Edmonton Okay (Delta)

    I was just speaking with my outfitter this weekend and I mentioned flying into Toronto from the US east coast and then Edmonton for a future hunt. He advised highly against that, saying that Toronto is not a hunter friendly International airport and suggested flying to Denver or some other US...

    Sheep rifle attributes?

    Thanks for that input, it helps in making a confident decision on what is needed to get the job done. This particular .280 Rem I restocked about 25 years ago with I believe a Brown Precision(or Bansner) fiberglass stock; it was one of my first custom Whitetail Rifles. I happen to have 2 Rem LA...

    Sheep rifle attributes?

    What about terminal ballistics? I am asking this question because I am trying to make a decision on rifles for an upcoming sheep hunt; been lurking on this thread. I have never done a hunt this demanding so I am hoping for input from people who have and can give me first hand advice. I have...

    Tripod Selection Help (Swaro 65 ATX)

    The Aoka made a believer out of me. A little over 3lbs 2oz for the whole Kowa 553 package....thats less than my Promaster alone. When I need more scope I’ll use the Zeiss

    Close to booking first sheep hunt-anything I am forgetting??

    I understand your point and agree with you.....but by booking a combo my plan is still to make the sheep primary and if I don’t tag out on a decent sheep I will forgo the goat part of the hunt; it’s really only something to do if I tag out on a sheep early. This scenario happened to me about 25...

    Close to booking first sheep hunt-anything I am forgetting??

    Thanks for the input.....you gave me lots to think about and l do need to ask a lot of questions. Goat and sheep are two animals I have never hunted but always wanted to. When I found out that Nahanni could combine these 2 animals I thought I should give it a shot in the event I never get...

    Close to booking first sheep hunt-anything I am forgetting??

    I started thinking seriously about this about 3 months ago and it gave me the will power to do something, albeit small at this point. In the last 3 months I did drop 10 lbs just by eating healthier which I intend to continue for the rest of my life. Next phase which will start very soon will...

    Close to booking first sheep hunt-anything I am forgetting??

    Thanks for the input, I never thought about the daylight although that’s not a big deal, just good to know, as is the info on the sheep coats. If snow has the potential to push rams to lower elevations I would consider that a plus for me being a little older than most. Any suggestions on the...

    Close to booking first sheep hunt-anything I am forgetting??

    Well I finally contacted some outfitters and am leaning toward Nahanni Butte at this point, mainly since they seem to have a good reputation and I want to fill a goat tag that I missed out on 25 years ago. They got back to me with prices and a date which would be the last 2 weeks of September...

    You are definitely correct on how things are viewed as we get older. I am stubborn old goat and very goal oriented; quit usually isn’t in my vocabulary. I’m sure I will make it as long as my guide is willing to wait for me to catch up occasionally while I catch my breath and the view

    Canadian Dall Outfitters

    Blockcaver, thanks for the feedback. It’s helpful since I have been watching too many videos of young 30 year old studs with huge packs running around on cliffs and rock slides virtually on top of the world and I begin to think maybe I waited to long to do this. I’m in descent shape for my...

    Canadian Dall Outfitters

    Thanks for the input......I am going to check with them on available dates for 2021 and if not then 2022. My only dilemma will be if I will be able to make 2021 work with my schedule.....I know 2022 won’t be a problem. Once the deposit is down it’s too late to make a change. Only way to know...

    Canadian Dall Outfitters

    I saw the helicopter mentioned on their website and was hoping that would more than make up for the lack of horses. All the trips I have been on for moose, elk etc were horseback so I knew I would be capable of a horseback hunt but was a little concerned about a backpack trip especially with the...

    I’ve been lurking on this thread but didn’t want to hijack it from the OP; hopefully my questions can add to the discussion. I am hoping to book a sheep hunt for 2023 and in the process of gathering info. I have been seriously looking at Nahanni Butte not only because they supposedly do a good...

    Thanks! I’ve been lurking about for a few days and there is so much information on this site with tips on gear, clothing and getting physically prepared, even if it is more geared to the do it yourselfer. When I planned these hunts back in the 80’s and 90’s there was no internet so I prepared...

    New to the group and joined because I plan on getting back into guided hunts again after about a 25 year hiatus. I’ve hunted since I have been legally able to and after I got out of school and had a job, I began going on some guided hunts and just couldn’t get enough. I have been on numerous...
