NUMBER 1 TROPHY DALL SHEEP
4 RAMS OVER 40 INCHES IN 2012
5 RAMS OVER 40 INCHES IN 2011

Last fall this longtime outfitter had 27 hunters take 26 rams, including 4 over 40 inches.

In 2011 he had 22 rifle hunters and all scored on full curl rams and 2 of the 3 archers also scored.  5 rams were taken that measured over the magical 40 inches. 

In 2010 all 25 hunters took rams, including 3 archers.  2 rams were taken over 40 inches and also a 38-inch ram with 15 1/4-inch bases. 

Over the past 14 years this outfitter has produced 343 full curl rams for 358 hunters for a success rate of over 95 percent and that includes quite a few bowhunters.  Rams have been averaging over 37 inches and just shy of 11 years old.  This outfitter has an exclusive area encompassing 9,000 square miles and he is the only outfitter allowed here.  This is one of the best dall sheep hunts in North America.

12-day backpack hunts are priced at $19,900 and some guides use pack dogs.  Sheep hunts start July 15 and continue into early September.  World-class mountain caribou can be added for a $4,000 kill fee plus license.  Roundtrip charter from Norman Wells is approximately $1,000.
