NWT and Yukon Dall hunts

My wife is booked with Ben in 2028, she was one out 19 applicants chosen for the WSF sheep lay away program. Her price was locked in late 2024 $37K.

What is the WSF sheep lay away program?

They only did it one year in 2024 for 4 hunters. They paid 15k towards your hunt. You got to pay the remaining amount over 4 years.

Thanks.

I am assuming these prices are reflective of access (helicopters) and high success rates. From what I have read, NWT helicopter hunts sound like near 100% success.

Pretty much if you’re in good enough shape to get there and don’t miss. Just because you ride in on horseback which isn’t easy in itself if your riding 4 hours or more or fly in via beaver, float plane, cub or helicopter doesn’t mean you don’t have to walk. But flying in via helicopter id say increases your chances a lot they can drop you just about anywhere.
