Wyoming Sheep Draw
I’m slow. How do you tell which is the random draw tag? -
Wyoming Sheep Draw
I think you can still withdraw your application. Check me on that though. States simply don’t give a damn about non residents any more. They’ll take our federal tax $$ though. -
Ideal magnification for Dall sheep hunting
I use 12x Swaro NL, 20-60x Swaro spotting scope, and Leupold 4.5-14x Vari X-3 rifle scope. -
Reliable stone sheep pricing
At 59 I hope I’m able to still handle the mountains when this Great Sheep Hunt Price Deflation/Implosion takes place. 😊 -

Favorite Sheep Hunting Pants
I have worn KOM Bunlight wool, Sitka mountain pant, Fjallraven KEBs, Mammut Champ, and Kuiu Attack pants (among others). All worked fine. For good weather I prefer the Attacks and for rough weather the light woolies are my go-to. -
Household income/age at time of first guided sheep hunt
Nice! I followed the exact same path and took what I had planned on being my only ram in the Yukon in 2006. I was 42. Total cost was somewhere around 13K for a Fannin sheep. Then I miraculously drew a NR AZ desert sheep tag 8 years later. So you never know….😊 -
Reliable stone sheep pricing
No, I do not. The younger folks will get older and wealthier, sheep populations are in decline, and sheep hunting is the pinnacle of hunting. Its current popularity among young people is through the roof. The number of young guys (and gals) at Sheep Show is astounding. The participation of... -
Reliable stone sheep pricing
Your own figures reveal the fallacy of your argument. Hunter numbers declining significantly since 1982. Now look at what sheep hunt prices have done since then. Hmmmmm………. -
Reliable stone sheep pricing
It’s just basic supply and demand. Anyone counting on the price going down is in for a rude awakening IMO. I’m pushing 60 and I can count on one hand the things that have gone down in relative cost over the years. And that’s only because they learned to make more of them faster and cheaper... -
Unit Selection
I want good odds for success (not necessarily the biggest ram). That said, I don’t limit myself to the premier units. I generally search out units that have better draw odds if the success rates are still decent. -
Brooks Range Dall Sheep/ Grizzly Combo Rifle Selection
I am an average sized (maybe even on the small side). My most common mountain rifle is a Sako Finnlight .300 WSM. I have an identical rifle in .270 Win. I carry the .270 if I don’t have a grizzly tag because it’s a 1/4 lb lighter and about 2” shorter. If I have a grizzly tag I carry the .300... -
Historically Low Alaska Sheep Harvest
This is a scary situation and I don’t have the answers. Seems that when a situation is this dire a multi-faceted approach is called for with drastic action being needed. I do know that limiting NRs alone while there are no limits on residents is always a political/preference move, not a... -
Household income/age at time of first guided sheep hunt
😅 I am all for any valid conservation approach too - good on them! But that’s a separate issue from hunting preferences. So I would personally not use an outfit where the scenario I gave is a possibility. -
Household income/age at time of first guided sheep hunt
Honest question: For DBHS operations that also offer HF hunts, how can you ever know that your supposedly free-range ram was not just released last week or last month or even last year and is basically an animal that is habituated to people? That would always gnaw at me…… -
Stone Sheep Outfitter
It’s pretty obvious that the demand is there. It probably has been for a long time but the outfitters just didn’t see it for what it was until they began to jump prices up so much to make up for lost Covid hunts. When folks paid their prices that sealed it. IDK where the “top” is but there are a... -
Weather on your hunt?
Last Sept we had the best 21 day stretch of weather in central BC anyone had seen in their lifetimes. (Lows in 30s/highs in 60s with some light snow a couple of days). But it’s foolish not to be prepared for anything and everything (within reason of course). Thankfully that’s not too hard a... -
A Year of Sheep
Great stories!! Felt like I was there.👍 Congratulations on a fine ram! -
Tipis (no stove) and sheep hunts (the good, the bad and everything in between)
Probably get some pushback on this but IMO the floorless shelter trend is just a fad that is already fading. It may sound cool but less than ideal in the real world for any number of reasons.
