Dall Sheep
Hunt DS250
NORTHWEST TERRITORY
DALL SHEEP MECCA
Here is a small family run operation that is
strictly top notch, from the guides to the cooks to the base camp, it
just doesn’t get any better. In 2011 they had 17 sheep rifle
hunters take 16 full curl rams. The unsuccessful hunter had
personal problems at home and had to leave early. They also hosted
3 bowhunters and they took 2 rams and the unsuccessful hunter cut some
hair and later broke his bow. The rams continue to average over 37
inches and just shy of 11 years in age.
The outfitter rotates his sheep camps within his 7,000
square mile area to prevent over hunting pressure and this insures
taking quality mature full curl rams. There has never been any
resident pressure of any kind in this area. He also has an
elaborate base camp including a hydroelectric plant that produces power
for all the comforts of home along with email. Most hunters tag
out early and upon return to base camp enjoy some fantastic lake trout
and grayling fishing just outside the cabin door.
Hunts start July 15 and run to early September. 10-day
backpack hunts guided 1x1 are $18,500 and 12-day horseback hunts are
$20,000 plus preservation fund of $100 and 2 1/2 percent tax. Mountain
caribou can be taken for a $4,000 trophy fee and last fall success was
typically 100 percent.
He also offers a 12-day
combination hunt with a base price of $10,000 and trophy fees of $9,000
for sheep, $7,500 for moose and $4,000 for caribou on August 28 to
September 8.
Hunters charter from Norman Wells for approximately $1,000 roundtrip.
