Overview of Alaska Dall Sheep Hunt & Moose Hunt
An Alaska Dall Sheep hunt or Moose hunt with this family owned and operated business is built around quality and success. Owner, Jeff’s three decades of experience in guiding big game hunts is apparent in all aspects of their commitment to you – the hunter. They have achieved an excellent reputation in every area of the hunting industry— from scheduling a small number of hunts to their success in the field — they demonstrate an absolute dedication to the commitment that was made when the hunt was booked. These hunts are not for the faint of heart as Alaska will challenge all of your senses.
They operate in two exclusive guide areas in unit 12 in the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve. They are the only outfitter allowed to guide in these areas and they take care of these areas, treating the land as if it was their own and managing the game so it will flourish. They take a limited number of hunters which keeps your success rate high and the trophy quality great. The hunts are backpack hunts so you need to be in the best shape of your life to fully enjoy your experience. They take pride in managing the area which helps maintain the resource for years to come.
Hunts are one-on-one fully guided with registered guides and each hunter will be paired with their own guide for the entire hunt (unless requested otherwise). All of the guides are experienced, knowledgeable, and highly trained.
At base camp they have a large Weatherport tent for the cook shack and 10×10 Bombshelter tents that sleep two people. When sheep hunting, you stay in small 1-3 men pup tents. When moose hunting, you stay in Bombshelters, wall tents, a cabin, or Arctic Oven, depending on the location.
The hunts are all backpack and you will need to be in great shape. The sheep hunts are the most intense and you will enjoy this hunt if you are in the best shape you can be, ready to hike anywhere from 10-20 miles a day. The moose and bear hunts are less intense, but you still need to be in great shape, able to hike an upwards of 5-10 miles a day. The Dall Sheep hunts is at elevations of 3-4,000 feet with a maximum of 6,000 feet.
This varies from client to client, but if you come in shape and can shoot well, we will have a great chance at filling your tag. Usually it is 75-95% depending on the species.
