Dall Sheep Hunting
"My first trip to Alaska, a tough adventure, backpack
hunt for Dall Sheep. We saw six rams, eleven Griz,
two Wolves , and one Wolverine. Jake is the best game
spotter I have ever seen and can carry his weight in
camp and sheep meat. Thanks Jake for a great hunt." Rod Mease |
Dall Sheep are the cherry on the sundae of Alaska’s mountains.
Backpacking through the valley floors of the Talkeetna Mountains and glassing
drainages is the method of these hunts.
Hunters will need to prepare to pack 50-65lbs for the duration of their sheep
hunt. Spike camps consisting of one man tents create the freedom to relocate
should the sheep move or other factors dictate camp locations. Quality
WATER-PROOF footwear that is suitable for walking on rocky terrain and
side-hilling for extended periods of time is necessary.

Dall Sheep Hunt: Awesome is how I would express my experience. It was a rare
opportunity to experience people of Jake and Amber’s caliber. His assistance
from start to finish, helping me with every aspect of my hunt was instrumental
in making it such a success. Jake’s equipment and knowledge in the field was
everything one could expect. It would be my honor to recommend Black River
Hunting Camps to anyone wanting to experience a hunt of a lifetime; I know I
did." Ron Swecker. |
Prior to the hunter’s arrival, (weather depending), clients have the option
of a scouting flight that can be flown to locate perspective rams and determine
exact hunting locations.
Sheep hunts take place the second half of August. Rams harvested will
typically range from 34”-38”, with a 40” ram being exceptional.
"Hunting Dall Sheep in '08 was my dream hunt. Jake and I hunted hard and on day 7 we located and connected on a beautiful ram. This hunt is what I call perfect: we had snow, rain, frustration, laughs, rejection, hours behind optics, long grinds with heavy packs, and finally success! I still wake up at night with a perma-grin on my face! Thanks Jake, Amber and family.” Tyson Taylor |
