Alaska - Wrangell Mountain Dall sheep hunt
as we made our way up another valley and reached the saddle dividing two valleys it was decided it was another dead end. we could not go down. as it was getting into the evening we set our bivys on the saddle and once again glassed till dark. again, while laying down you could turn your head... -

Alaska - Wrangell Mountain Dall sheep hunt
high up in the loose shale, 5000-7500 ft, it was amazing to see spiders. many spiders. black spiders about an inch from leg tip to leg tip, they occupied the loose rock and there seemed to be one to every couple of square feet on the whole mountain! -

there is nothing like being in the alpine, the splendid scenery and the flora is amazing. there are multitudes of flowers, most of them minute. Truly 'God's country'. and my favorite: -

Alaska - Wrangell Mountain Dall sheep hunt
We ended up walking out of that valley and back to the tents, not having seen sheep to keep us bivyed out another night. After a hot meal and a good sleep in the tents we started out again to check some more valleys the next day.A hawk watched us leave camp. Crossing the creek was actually... -

Alaska - Wrangell Mountain Dall sheep hunt
It was a steep, rocky way up: Once on top of the saddle we found that just over the lip a large snow field went down 1/3 of the way. Not possible without crampons and we did not have them. This would be another dead end, going back down the way we came -

Alaska - Wrangell Mountain Dall sheep hunt
the next morning after glassing awhile we worked our way down the valley and about 1/2 way down went over the north side to gain access to the next valley. A little side hilling on the steep stuff was in order: After slowly hunting our way up and not seeing anything it looked like there was a... -

Part of the way up we rounded a corner and nearly stepped on a few girls: When we reached the valley head we found it to be a dead end with no way out (for us anyway). Tried talking Jim into going over the top just above my head but he wanted no part of it. As it was getting into evening we... -

Alaska - Wrangell Mountain Dall sheep hunt
when we bivyed out we did not take a stove. this is my typical 2 day food supply: after a night in the tents we crossed the creek and went to the other side of the valley. it had parallel valleys running to it's top and would provide days of checking. as we climbed we could look down at our... -

Alaska - Wrangell Mountain Dall sheep hunt
Unlike last year we actually had pretty good weather. The mornings dawned with a blue sky, by afternoon the cumulus had built up, and by evening or at night we would get light rain showers. This first bivy was on a saddle at 7800 ft., laying in your bag you could look left and down into one... -

On the way up we always had valleys to look into and vistas beyond. The ridge in this picture was our way up, the easiest we could find. Once we made it to the top and saddled out we could look into the valley below. -

We flew in on the 8th, the season did not open till the 10th. Lounged the afternoon away and that evening went on a walk as a prescout. On the ninth we packed for a 2 night bivy and walked upstream, passing a couple of hanging valleys that really looked 'sheepy' but had no sheep. Walked to the... -

Alaska - Wrangell Mountain Dall sheep hunt
I usually post my annual hunts on Stickbow's Leatherwall. Since this was not a true bowhunt only and being that I am relatively new here, I thought I would post my first pic/story here. I did have my 2 pc. Fox Breed recurve along in the hopes of seeing a bear and was disappointed to find the... -
