Best of luck to everyone headed out sheep hunting here in Alaska and everywhere else. I leave tomorrow morning for a combo dall sheep and mountain goat hunt. Kind of a rare opportunity to have both in the same area. Everyone be safe out there!

Brett

Have a great hunt.

Hope you're successful.

All the best to you! My/our sheep hunt is not happening this year. It was going to be a handgun hunt. Third handgun hunt for me, was hoping third time would be the charm. My partner had some life issues come up and my back went haywire on me. Watch your step, creeks and rivers are bound to be high now. Terrain can be tricky when it's been hit hard by rain/snow as you well know.


I like your "Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter"
Here's some words I penned a few years back.

An Alaskan Sheep Hunters Poem
By Snyd


With the sun at my back and the breeze on my face
I hope to find that magical place
Where the Dall Sheep live in the their majestic home
Alaska, the Last Frontier

From the Wrangells to the Brooks and the Alaska Range
From the Chugach Mountains to the Talkeetnas and Whites
From the Tanana Foothills and Mentastas too,
To the Kenai Mountains to name a few
These are the places the Rams call home
In Alaska, the Last Frontier

In search of great Rams, my partner and I
Together we go with hopes as high
As the mountains we hike
In Alaska, the Last Frontier

Tis the hunt of a lifetime if one can go
It's not like hunting the Whitetail you know!
There is nothing quite like the stress and the strain
Sheep hunting puts on the body and brain

But the rewards are great for the ones who make
The arduous trek for that's what it takes
For a chance to see the Mountain Sheep Ovis
Ovis Dalli, in the Last Frontier

If one can get
The chance at a shot
He surly has earned it
But then if not
He still has the joy deep down in his soul
Of knowing he stood
Where many can't go

To that place of a dream for many a hunter
To the tops of the Mountains
Ovis calls home
In Alaska, the Last Frontier

Good luck to everyone!

I think about sheep hunting in AK every time Aug 10 rolls around, and here it is already...

Good luck!

Shoot straight! That white sheep is a very special hunt.

Sweet!! White sheep and white goat. Don't mix up the capes and horns.

Have fun, and post up the photos.

Best of Luck Brett!

I pass thru Anchorage on the Sept 29 headed to Kodiak for Mt Goat. Give us an update when you return!

Good Luck
I will be in Anchorage first week of September.

Brett & Jim stopped in yesterday. What a surprise, I thought they were 400 miles to the south.
They've been have a really cool adventure.
I'm sure they'll tell us all about it upon they're return.
It was great to see them and it made me a little envious that I wasn't with them.
Hunting season in Alaska, no place like it!
