Transporter for youth sheep season
Way back in the pre Covid days I booked a floatplane charter to drop my daughter and I into sheep country.

I spoke to them a week ago and was told that we were good to go. Then today I got word that they are shutting down for the entire season due to excessive cancelations....
CRYBABY

So I plan to carry my deposit over for next year, but I'm wondering if any of you know of reliable opperators that are planning to fly this season.

Unless you guys can come up with a good alternative I think that we will be headed down to POW for blacktail.

This was her back when she still thought that we would be chasing sheep come August.

Hi Jason!

With the youth season being before hunting traffic is really cranking I would imagine it would be fairly doable to find someone to fly you in. What mountain range are you thinking? MP if you prefer. Too cool on getting your daughter out! Best of luck!

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

Yes and they promptly refunded my deposit.
