    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    Population is not recovering in Alaska. We have set record low harvest numbers the last three years in a row. Fish and game had a public meeting in Fairbanks and the outlook was extremely pessimistic across the state. If you are going to spend crazy money on a sheep hunt go to Canada

    Alaska Sheep Harvest 2023

    That last article brings up a lot of interesting questions regarding older adult rams and if they are important to sheep populations. The current dogma that mature full curl rams are "excess" and could all be shot every year without negative effects on sheep populations may not be true. Super...

    Alaska Sheep Harvest 2023

    Maybe I misunderstood, but the area biologist at the meeting in Fairbanks seemed to indicate it was hard to get subsistence harvest numbers, I think he was referencing the eastern brooks at the time. Does anyone know if subsistence hunters are required to seal/report their ram or harvest? And...

    Alaska Sheep Harvest 2023

    I don't know if it was recorded. It was very similar to the presentation from last year. The new stuff was the harvest data from this year, survey data from this year and the project in the brooks. Brooks project seems really interesting. Collared two groups of rams, one in the national...

    Alaska Sheep Harvest 2023

    Hard not to feel fatalistic and depressed when you hear the numbers and see the decline year after year. That said I was on three sheep hunts this year and we did find three rams. One 7 and two 8 year olds. Really did not see any older rams this year. I know that winter weather and factors...

    Experience with Crispi

    I have a pair of the guide gtx. Used on 6 hunts in Alaska over the past 2 years. No leaks and happy with the durability so far, except the rand is starting to slightly separate on the right boot. I do clean the leather and apply a waterproofing cream after every trip

    PEAX SOLITUDE 4 TIPI GIVEAWAY

    I am also interested in the trekking pole stabilization and the overall design looks great. Door shape also looks good rather than a straight zipper up the side

    Cimmaron vs. Absaroka ... Help me choose.

    I am also curious about the collapse as I am hoping to use the absaroka on my sheep hunts in Alaska. Can get some big wind up high

    Cliffed Out...Sheep Hunters Rescued

    Look at the picture again. That kind of stupidity deserves to be called out. We aren't talking about some kind of natural disaster, getting lost, weather event, etc. Glad they are safe, but everyone I've talked to that has seen it has the same reaction, "wtf were they thinking!?!"

    Who's hunting sheep soon?

    We took a nice ram on the youth hunt, way up high in the nasty shale. Found him on the 2nd day of the season

    Stone Glacier Terminus Review

    Took my new terminus 8700 on youth sheep hunt in Alaska this year. Didn't seem like there was anyway a whole boned out sheep was going to fit in the load cell. My partner took a third of the meat and my two thirds filled up the load cell completely. Anyone else able to get a whole ram in the...

    Stone Glacier Terminus Review

    For you guys with experience last season, how did you end up cleaning your terminus pack? Dish soap in the bathtub with a scrub brush? Thinking it might be a little difficult to clean the internal meat pocket since the bag doesn't separate from the frame

    What is "fitness"?

    This is CrossFits definition of fitness and I think it's beautiful. It could be restated as "how versatile are you?". Can you run and hike and swim and bike and row? Can you do it over short and long time domains? How strong are you in how many different lifts? Can you lift heavy? And then...

    What's your pack choice?

    Anyone with experience regarding the stone glacier terminus? Can you get a full boned out sheep in that internal load cell bag?

    I do the cold showers, mostly as part of a build a mental toughness streak. I also think it helps with cold weather tolerance for sheep hunting

    Sheep hunting alone?

    I think everyone should go solo at least once. Cliche, but you do find out what you are made of. Something to be said for coming up against what you thought was your limit and going a little beyond. That said I find it more fun to share the experience with a friend and it adds a layer of...
