What outfitter/concession in BC was this?
Very true, the allocation system certainly isn’t self-regulating. Some outfitters vastly overbook quota, so it is simple math that some hunters must go home without. It isn’t like the USA where the tag is issued to the hunter and he is the only person who can fill it. Know a guy who after multiple unsuccessful Stone Sheep hunts simply gave up on that species.
lanai is the only hawaiian island that has wild pure bred mouflon. unfortunately though last couple of years the age class has been hammered and the ewe to ram ratio is all out of wack due to state mismanagement (they got rid of earn a ram). molokai never had (maybe you are thinking of blackbuck there?). Have heard some claim that big island has purebred moulfon but with their high wild feral sheep population and number of hybrids running around no chance. If you want pure bred mouflon you have to go to lanai (no feral sheep there to intermix)
Awesome man. My wife went with me on my dall hunt, and is coming with me on my stone hunt. The hunt is obviously the culmination, but having her engaged in the training, etc. leading up to the hunt makes the entire experience something we can share. I have no doubt that if we are lucky enough to grow old together, we will always remember and talk about our sheep hunts.
That's exactly what I'm hoping for, getting healthy together, sharing the adventure and growing old together. We'll have those Mackenzie Mountain views to share - can't take it with you.
Booked with Lancaster’s as they offer the Goat opportunity. I wanted to go back to the Mackenzie’s so they were my best option.
Is what I’ve been told by my uncle that the hunt cost. Not a big ram. I have the Shoulder mount. Pretty sure it’s the closest I’ll get to one.
