Hunt Description
Our Brooks Range dall sheep hunts take place in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), often called the last great wilderness remaining in North America. The area is 100 miles by 60 miles. ANWR is excellent sheep habitat as well as home to healthy grizzly and moose populations. It is also seasonal backyard for the Porcupine caribou herd. The major valleys have thin stands of spruce and willow below 2700 foot elevation, above, to 7000 foot peaks, mostly rock and tundra sheep meadows.
The Brooks Range generally has the best weather in the state, with temperatures averaging 55F in the early season, and 40in the late season. Snow starts at the higher elevations in September. Snow can occasionally hinder sheep hunting in early September, but it always melts in a day or two. After September 15, it usually sticks at higher elevations and as a result, we rarely book this time for sheep.
In order to insure our hunters have the best possible opportunity to take a trophy ram all hunts are guided 1×1. Most hunts involve packing into spike camps so it helps to be in good shape.
The area we hunt has an ever increasing number of grizzly’s. Many of our past hunter have combined a trophy grizzly hunt with their sheep hunt. Tags are limited so please inform us if you want to hunt grizzly.
