NWT and Yukon Dall hunts

[ridgerunnerrron]

I was not at the Sheep Show. However I heard that some Dall outfitters are booking hunts out into year 2030 at $70 K!
If this is true, as long as there’s some hunters out there that will pay that number, then the hunt prices are just gonna continue to spiral upward…like they’ve been doing!
Def out of reach for too many hunters.

Wow. I did my Dall in the Alaska Range in 2013 for $8,000+air charter. I thought the Canadian hunts were crazy high at $18K back then…

Times have changed. Supply and demand and the value of the US$ going to heck. Lots of money chasing a smaller number of sheep. I really wouldn't expect prices to back off any time soon as long as people are concerned that the prices are only going to go higher if they don't book now (which will keep pushing prices higher). Just my two cents. Flexibility and cancellation opportunities will be your friend if you are looking for a sheep hunt with a quality outfit.

If dalls are booking for 70 grand I can only imagine where stone prices are headed!

Saw a few Yukon hunts for under 50. A lot above. NWT guys were 60-70 k. A few under that but said price will be going up to compete with other outfits. And majority were booking into 30 /31 but didn’t have a price yet. Said it will go up 5-10 percent, take your deposit and let you know 2 years out. Pretty wild!!!

Crazy. I believe that the demand was always there but the outfitters didn’t fully realize it. After Covid the outfitters began to realize how in demand their hunts were and haven’t looked back on the price increases. Who knows where it will stop?

It won’t stop unfortunately. This is the new “normal”.

Glad I booked when I did. Heading to NWT with South Nahanni in Aug. 50k when I booked - still crazy high.
