Hello all. I've been lurking here for years but finally decided to register. I am by no means an accomplished mountain hunter but have wanted to hunt sheep and goats my entire life. I am a wildlife biologist/ranch manager in south Texas and have been guiding whitetail, nilgai, javelina, hog and turkey hunts here for the past 20 years.

I am blessed to work for an employer that has allowed me to hunt all over the world with him during my offseasons. I have hunted the big 5, dangerous 7 and lots of plains game in Africa. I've also hunted aoudad in West Texas and Dagestan tur in Azerbaijan. I currently have a tahr hunt booked in New Zealand for 2022 as well as mid-Asian ibex in Kazakhstan. That's basically my hunting and professional bio.

All of that to introduce myself and ask my first questions here on Rokslide. I finally decided to pull the trigger on a dall sheep hunt in the Alaska range for 2024. I will be hunting with Hidden Alaska Outfitters but by then, it is my understanding that Tony, Buck's son-in-law, will be running the business. I am hoping that someone on here has hunted with Buck and/or Tony and can tell me all about your hunt. It's a long ways off so I will spend the next few years thinking about everything I've been dreaming of doing my entire life. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hearing your stories, seeing your photos and taking any advice you want to throw my way.

Robert Johnson

Got it. Thanks for the quick response. I'm sure I'll be asking you a BUNCH of questions over the next couple of years.

I work with Tony and have known him for over 20 years. You will not find a more dedicated and competent sheep hunter/guide out there. Make sure you are in shape and ready to give it everything. He doesn’t slow down : ) You are in good hands and are about to have the hunt of a lifetime. Tony is going to be in high demand, and it’s not going to take long at all. Have a great time!

Badass! Really appreciate it. 2024 can’t get here fast enough. I’m glad I have a few hunts before then to keep my mind occupied.

Hey man! Good to see you here. You should start saving your pocket change, like me. and go Dall sheep hunting in 2024. It’d be awesome to have you on that trip. We still have one more BIG one to do before or after then.

Good luck and have fun with all the prep work leading up to 2024. I booked my dream 1st Dall hunt about 3 years ago now. The time dragged at 1st while I worked hard at being ready, but then all of a sudden it was” holy crap” it’s here. I fly out 2 weeks from today. Enjoy the whole process!!!

After talking to lots of folks, I’ve learned that I will be in good hands at Hidden Alaska. Buck will be retired by then and Tony will be in charge. I’m really looking forward to the hunt. 2024 can’t get here fast enough.
I am a little concerned about mature sheep populations. Everything I’m reading has been pretty dismal as far as numbers of mature rams goes but such is hunting. Mature rams or few mature rams, we will hunt hard and make the most of it. Looking forward to 2024.

Good to hear some good reviews here. Just booked a Moose Grizzly combo with Tony for 2023. Ohio Flatlander here. I'm really looking forward to this thing.

Hello hope you are well. Could you give me more detail on your hunts with a Hidden Alaska. Hoping on doing a Dall Sheep in 2027.Thanks
No sheep hunts available from Hidden AK. Their area was closed to non resident hunting by the state.

That's correct. Didn't know if maybe the sheep had been re-opened by game & fish. But I feel for Tony. He knows sheep and had it taken from him thru no fault of his own.

Heard this Roy Munson cat shot a pretty sick bull in 2023… heard his guide was quite the character too 😉
