So I did extensive in person research and spoke to people who have hunted in that area with the outfitter that owned the tags before the outfitter that I went with. Both got sheep and raved about the area. All the outfitters at the shows boast about their kill rate being 50% five years I have been talking to outfitters and it was always 50%. OK I can handle that. No outfitter is going to give you a name of a hunter who had a bad time. Yes it is 100% on me that I booked this trip without finding a blog such as this. But there isn't anyone out there talking about it in person. Anyone that knows someone wanting to hunt Alberta or BC for sheep need to know and its all of our jobs to make sure they know that their odds are slim to none. Yes I know guys will get sheep but that's a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of hunters that are going to get scammed next hunting season! It's a money grab like I had mentioned in earlier posts. Yes SCI and sheep shows coming up are gonna be fun informing people standing at these booths of the true adds of spending 110K on a dude ranch trip!
Yes I am going to make sure of it. Thinking about getting a shirt made, "Ask me about my sheep hunt in Alberta"
I know who you hunted with.
The problem doesn’t lie with the outfitters. They have been doing their same thing for decades. The problem lies with the entitled resident hunters, with poor predator management, zero habitat enhancement, poor regulations, and terrible biologists. I know who the op hunted with, without him even having to say their name. This spring the bios were patting themselves on the back for doing such an excellent job because the sheep harvest rates have been going up. That’s all that they care about. Every year they like to see x amount of rams killed. They don’t care if they are 150” or 190”. They just care about dead sheep. This year has been horrible for the outfitters, I don’t think I know 1 that went over 50%. That’s not from a lack of trying or a lack of sheep. One outfitters friend seen 44 different rams on a 6 day hunt. None were legal. All the mature rams they found were broomed short. Resident hunters weren’t much better. I only heard of a couple higher scoring rams. And numbers in general are way down. The only people that have had any luck are the ones who are friends with the biosb
You’re complaining about reduced opportunities at killing females? Really?
The Alberta bighorn hunt is the hardest sheep hunt in North America. It’s more mentally draining than physical. And it’s an extremely physical hunt. There is a lot of luck involved too. There is a lot of places for them to hide
I know guys that have gone on 4 guided bighorn hunts before they killed one. Prices weren’t what they are now, and most of those years that outfitter was over 50%. He just couldn’t connect or he missed a shot. Which happens
Woah what a rampage!
If you thought that was a rampage you need thicker skin
Do you have the same last name as Vince Carter?
I’ve spent my life in the bush watching animals and fishing, mountain climbing, hiking etc. I work in the environmental sector and spend >150 days a year in the bush. I know Alberta well, it has nothing to do with pulling the trigger. So frankly, pound sand bud.
Hate to say it but just because you have a certain color of skin. That doesn’t automatically make you knowledgeable on a subject. Neither does someone’s age. If you’re offended that my assumptions are accurate I don’t really know what to say. You’re not the only one who has spent their life in the bush. Your observations are not accurate
I’m 100% white you prick LMAO
Scott’s a pretty good guy. I talk to him whenever I run into him at oiler games.

You’re a funny gal, I don’t know your end goal, but good luck on your endeavour LOL. I’m going hunting for 16 days. Maybe see you out there.Scott’s a pretty good guy. I talk to him whenever I run into him at oiler games.

Your just making stereotypical assumptions and trying to imply that it is somewhat better
Take a chill pill
Very unlikely
