Stone Sheep

Hunt SS491

NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA STONE SHEEP
Last fall was a very tough year for stone sheep hunting.  Extremely hot weather coupled with many large forest fires from lightning strikes smoked in most of the mountains making it impossible for glassing rams.  This outfitter is normally 75% success but last year only went 6 for 13.

This 15-day horseback hunt in the Cassiar Mountains is known for dark rams. 

Sheep hunts are $30,000 with a $6,000 trophy fee.  On later hunts you can take a sheep, moose, mountain goat, caribou, black bear and wolf.  This is a sheep hunt that allows you to take more species at no charge.

The outfitter has 10 stone sheep tags and with more government regulation coming we expect it to drop by the year 2012 along with many other areas.  This will only continue to drive the prices up.

Hunters arrive in Whitehorse and overnight.  Currently for a package price of $1,475 you are driven to Watson Lake and then charter to and from camp, including license, tags and 7% GST.  HCU’s Cliff Graham has taken a ram with this outfitter.
