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.

September. World-class mountain caribou can be added for a $4,000 kill
fee plus license. Roundtrip charter from Norman Wells is approximately
