Here is a spectacular opportunity for your 2016 sheep hunt. This special permit area now includes all of the drawing permit areas of the Chugach Mountains in Alaska Game Management Units 13D, 14A, and 14C. With this permit, you can hunt any of these units, including Metal and Friday Creeks, Tazlina Glacier, and even the ‘Ram Valley’ and ‘Falls Creek’ areas within Chugach State Park. All of these units have had very limited hunting pressure for the last several years. Much of the Chugach has been on limited draw for several years, and permits are in high demand. Many hunters are reporting complete solitude on their hunts, a situation not experienced since the glory days of the 1960s and 1970s.
Imagine pursuing multiple 40+ inch class Dall sheep through glaciers, high cirques, and snowcapped peaks, while walking on generations-old sheep trails by yourself.
During the last few hunting seasons, at least three sheep were harvested from these areas of the Chugach that reached that magic combination of length and mass to put them over the 170” mark. Several others went into the mid to high 160’s. The guides and hardcore hunters that know this area well insist that even bigger ones made it through the hunting season and the Alaskan winter, and are still out there. This permit gives you the very real possibility to put a Dall’s ram into the record books.
Finally, by purchasing this permit, you are supporting Alaska’s Dall’s sheep research program and making a critical contribution to sheep research and management in Alaska.
