You can hunt dall sheep in Alaska for less than 30k, less than 20k and even less than 15k.
This is true ...

Yes you can. My share of the gas for us to go hunting was about $1000. Plus a couple weeks worth of food. Call it 2k tops if you ammortize all the gear over all the other hunts, fishing and camping trips.You can hunt dall sheep in Alaska for less than 30k, less than 20k and even less than 15k.
Honestly I don't think you'll have a ton of success with a jetboat sheep hunting. The couple spots where that might be useful have such low numbers I have no idea why they still allow sheep hunting.People think that hunting sheep in Alaska is just getting a tag and finding one off of an atv trail. OTC sheep hunting is expensive, time consuming and difficult. I am going to have to sell my house, relocate back to where I grew up, build a new house and buy a $50K jetboat to really go sheep hunting. Out of state hunters have better odds in the present system than Alaska residents for drawing the true premier Dall sheep areas. Guides harness a lot of flight time, guides, and expertise to max their chances of success. You guys can go hunt deer on otc tags without the expenses that we have.
Can’t use a plane in the hard park. Jet boat and a lot of boot leather is the only way to hunt where he’s headed.Honestly I don't think you'll have a ton of success with a jetboat sheep hunting.

The premier dall sheep unit is OTC(HT/R).
Deer is also OTC. So is Moose, bou, black bear, brown bear, elk and goat. Only Bison do not have an OTC hunt.
I guess I can’t afford a new pickup either because I won’t spend that kind of money. My current truck I bought in 2017 and is a basic no frills model 2015 Silverado I got for $23k. I didn’t feel like I could afford that either but you kinda gotta have a reliable vehicle where we live to be able to go to work.I find it interesting that a new pickup now costs about 60-80K and I see ordinary working guys driving them all the time. They were half that just a few years ago.
Haha, my response was who the hell spends that much on hunting anything? The hunt I did this year was the most expensive hunt I've ever done, and the charges on my card for my share were right at 1k. I can easily repeat that hunt every year for that price pending fuel prices.I guess I can’t afford a new pickup either because I won’t spend that kind of money.

Everyone else’s responses seem to mostly be a mix of “if you have to ask you can’t afford it” or some remark about it not being justified financially but they did it anyway.
I guess I don’t want it bad enough. I can’t justify the $5,000 trip to hunt red stag in Argentina either.
Now I am curious about hunting Red Stag in Argentina - that sounds like a hoot! I might have to go do that.I guess I can’t afford a new pickup either because I won’t spend that kind of money.

Compared to the effort of a 100% self supported hunt, it is.If you think hunting wild sheep is just a matter of “writing a check and showing up”, you don’t know much about sheep hunting.
The guided hunts have roughly 0% of the logistical problems to solve. That alone makes it a whole other world.That response is nonsensical. You don’t hunt and kill wild mountain sheep by just “showing up”. Period. End of story. That’s what the man said, and it’s wrong.
I will never understand why some guys just have to bring what others do down in order to try to lift themselves up. It’s not a competition. It’s just hunting, and we’re all hunters.
