Alaska Dall Sheep Hunts
Alaska Dall sheep hunts are almost always remote, fly-in mountain hunts where you’ll be hunting out of a backpack with your guide.
Since Alaska Dall sheep hunts take place in August, you have a pretty good chance to enjoy some decent weather, considering it’s Alaska. Don’t think that good weather is a given or that it’s going to be easy though…by the time you’re done you will most likely be physically and mentally drained, possibly even questioning your sanity. But the memories you take home with you will be looked back on fondly for the rest of your life.
Alaska Dall sheep hunts are guided 1:1.
After you tag your animal and take field photos, it is caped, quartered and butchered for packing to spot suitable for aircraft pick-up.
Alaska Dall Sheep Hunts are usually extremely physical.
You can expect to go from 2,000 to 6,000 feet in elevation…maybe every day. You MUST have the ability to hike and carry a 35 pound pack, and if you are 20 pounds or more overweight; a heavy smoker; have bad legs, feet or knees – this is not your hunt. Alaska Dall sheep hunts are no joke, we can’t stress that enough, so be in shape!
You’ll be staying in a tent with your guide.
You will be flown into your hunting area and will backpack around the area from their. Your lodging may include a base camp and hiking from there each day. Be prepared for roughing it and eating Mountain House!
Bring your glassing game!
On a sheep hunt, you’ll rise early and typically glass from or near camp, eat a hot breakfast, and then hike to a high spot to glass all day, or until you find a good stalkable animal. Expect to do a lot of glassing. You’d think that a white animal would be easy to glass up, but you’d be wrong. You’ll spend hours and hours picking the mountains apart looking for your ram.
Don’t think that good weather is a given or that it’s going to be easy though…by the time you’re done you will most likely be physically and mentally drained, possibly even questioning your sanity. But the memories you take home with you will be looked back on fondly for the rest of your life.

Carrying essential gear for multi-day spike camps, hunters are encouraged to prepare physically for the challenging landscape and high-altitude conditions.
For hunters seeking multi-species options, this hunt offers the chance to add caribou, grizzly, or wolverine tags, as well as wolves for tag cost only, with grizzly and wolverine seasons opening September 1. With a focus on ethical, clean shots, hunters should be confident at shooting distances up to 300 yards.

Dall Sheep Hunts in the S. Central Brooks Range
Premier Alaska Dall sheep hunting in the Central Brooks Range with a combination of backpack and horseback hunts across the southern slopes.
Starting from a comfortable lodge in Wiseman, Alaska, hunters are flown into the field in company-owned Piper Super Cubs, equipped for rugged terrain access. Each season begins with an extensive aerial survey of our hunting areas to ensure optimal success, allowing guides to target the most productive zones while understanding sheep population trends. Rams here typically measure 35”-38” with bases of 13”-13.5”, scoring in the 150s, though larger rams are often harvested. With an average ram age of over 9 years (and up to 10+ in some seasons), the experience promises both trophy quality and prime hunting conditions.
Terrain in this area is very mild by dall sheep standards and holds a very high density of sheep. They utilize ridge tops, and gravel bars for most of our landing areas, and access to the areas are by Supercub bush plane.
All hunts are backpack hunts but many of the drop locations will allow for day hunts. They also utilize air food drops, which allows our hunters to carry much less weight than a traditional backpack hunt.
Trophy hunts for grizzly and caribou are available on a fee basis, and wolves may be harvested without a tag. Non-residents can harvest one ram every four years, making this an exclusive, expertly guided hunt for discerning Dall sheep hunters in Alaska.
