2022 Sheep Harvest Photos

[kjw]

The rams coming out of Canada since it reopened have been insane. Sucked that it closed down but seems like the sheep benefited from it. You always here of winter kills knocking out an age class but here is basically the opposite since minimal hunting was done.

It's open now! And some killer Stone Glacier gear for the winners.

Lifelong dream come true. Hunt was scheduled for July 2020, but you guys know how that went. I’ve been dreaming about this hunt since I was old enough to pick up a hunting magazine. It didn’t disappoint. 11.5year old from the NWT.

Really nice ram!! I think I met you at fish & game office in Norman Wells when we were checking our rams. Enjoyed your story.

Entered a different one in the “official” thread but thought this one was cool. Wrangells.

FYI. Not trying to come across as an a$$ (pretty hard for me). If this was a guided hunt, your outfitter would probably appreciate scenery pics like this not be shared on social media. We now know right where you stood when you took this picture. Sharing pics with scenery like this is a good way to have friends in there with you the next time you’re in there. So in your case, the outfitter you went with is getting a disservice here. That many landmarks makes it pretty easy to pinpoint a spot.

A guy pays over $30k for a sheep hunt (NWT prices) and we should worry about what the outfitter thinks if we post a photo??

client scenery pics have ruined more hunting spots than just about anything else…

I knew exactly where that photo was taken after looking at it and going, hmm that looks familiar. I bet I even know the coordinates of where they landed. And I've never been exactly there.
It ruins it for everyone. Not just the outfitter. You post a game photo that is highly recognizable and it'll have 15 people on it next year.

When people ask where I got X animal. It's "The talkeentas." Or west of the ak range. Because those are areas larger than any state but TX and photos never have identifying landmarks in them.

It was an honest mistake and tried to rectify it quickly once brought to my attention. Don’t want to ruin anything for anyone!

I wouldn’t sweat it too much. You took it down pretty quick.

The problem is when a guide or outfitter asks a hunter to simply mind the background of the photos they post, and said client/hunter disregards completely and plasters the photos on a huge public forum and Facebook. It’s happened many times for outfits I work for and to me just shows pure indifference to the outfit that just treated you well and helped you pursue your hunting goals.
