Stone Sheep
Hunt SS491
NORTHCENTRAL B.C. STONE SHEEP
HCU’s Bob Wodzisz took a great 40-inch plus
stone sheep with this outfitter in 2011. He reported seeing legal
rams every day and connected on day 7. Overall the outfit ended up
7 for 9. One unsuccessful hunter had to leave 4 days into the hunt
due to health issues and the other missed a ram and saw 7 more legal
sheep during his hunt.
In 2010 success was 100
percent for all 10 stone sheep hunters and they took 2 rams over 40
inches, including a 41-inch with 14 1/2-inch bases.
This 14-day horseback hunt in the
Cassiar
Mountains
is known for dark rams. The first sheep hunt August 1 to 14 is
$30,000 with a $3,500 trophy fee. Later hunts running from August
15 to October 15 are priced at $35,000 and 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. Drive to Watson
Lake
and then charter to and from camp for $1,500 plus licenses and 7% HST
tax. HCU’s Cliff Graham has also taken a ram with this outfitter.
