Differences in Dall, Stone, RM Bighorn, D Bighorn hunts

FWIW, there are no Stone sheep within 300 miles of the Ogilvies. I don’t care what any study says, I’m counting my Fannin from as far north as an American can hunt in the Yukon as a Stone. The rams from Blackstone and Renoylds are true Fannins.

Sure wish I could go back in time and gone back the next year to take the monster broomed Dall that was my ram’s attaché. He is 10 and that Dall had to be older. So much mass. Great memories. All before the days of the Phoneskope sadly.

A Dall from BC is something very few people have and that will be an awesome hunt. I’m jealous.

Beautiful fannin! Thanks for sharing!

I need a Rocky for all four but if I could only do one more sheep hunt it’d be another archery Stone’s hunt in Northern BC with moose, caribou and goat as options if successful on sheep early on. The country, the horses, the guide, the challenge and last day success after a couple close calls all made the 2014 hunt I went on the top of all hunts I’ve ever done. I hunted with Tuchodi but they’ve since changed hands at least once so I have no idea what their current situation is nor have I kept up to speed on the other outfitters in BC. My guide had several years in the NWT and BC and agreed with my impression that the country in Northern BC was more rugged and beautiful than the more worn down mountains of NWT, that said NWT mountains are no joke!

Dall would be second and I’d likely book with Gana River in the NWT since he does more traditional hunts. That said don’t discount helicopter hunts as easy. Many can be but on mine in 2010 with Ramshead, we got dropped off by helicopter and then covered 10-15 miles some days with backpacks while we moved around looking for sheep to stalk.
