Alberta Rocky Mountain Sheep Hunt
This is a twelve-day backpack hunt for one hunter that takes place in a remote wilderness area that does not allow any motor vehicle access. The hunt days are Sept 17- October 3rd, 2019. The extra five days added to the twelve actual hunting days are devoted to getting to and from the hunting area, with overnight stays in a hotel and a base camp while traveling to and from the hunting area. This is vast unspoiled country with a high population of resident sheep that live in the hunting area year round, not spending parts of the year in a park or other protected place. Hunters will ride on horseback deep into the heart of the hunting area. Once there, the hunt will continue as a backpack hunt, giving you the ability to move and camp at will and putting you in the best positions to spot sheep during high activity times. In addition to an experienced sheep guide, a wrangler/packer will help, providing another set of eyes, an extra pack to help with the load when a sheep is taken, and someone to watch the horses while you and your guide check out a remote, hidden basin. Having this extra man is a huge reason these hunts are so highly successful. Included with the hunt are pick up in Grande Prairie, your guide and wrangler, meals and accommodations.Additional expenses include hotel stays before and after the hunt, licenses and tags (about $825 for sheep and wolf), and a 5% Canadian goods and service tax.
