After a long time dreaming about doing a sheep hunt for my 40th birthday, I just mailed off my deposit for a 2024 Dall hunt in Alaska!! I think my facial expression says it all! Now the long wait and journey of preparing begins!

Awesome! Who did you decide to hunt with?
Jake Jefferson. He’s not taking hunters in 22 or 23 due to sheep numbers in his area but feels by 2024, some of those younger sheep he saw this year will be good to go. We hit it off talking and I felt comfortable trusting him.

Nice- I did the same a year ago for a 2023 hunt (Brooks range); my birthday is a little (OK a lot!) later than yours though :D
Haha congrats to you too! I wanted to do the Brooks in AK but it was above my budget unfortunately.

Awesome to hear and congratulations. I wish I could have done a it at 40 because I would surely have done a second. My one and only Dall hunt was in 2020 at age 51. The journey and prep will be a lot of fun. Best of luck.

I can’t wait for all the prep! Wheels are already in motion for certain things!

Good on you. I hunted with Jake in 2017 for sheep and did a report on it here. You'll have a great time.

Awesome news I hunted Dall sheep in 2018 wish I was 40. I met Jake on a hunt in Kodiak great guy. You will love it.but you never leave ak. It will cost you alot of $ in the future. But worth every penny imo.

I’m already worried about that. Would love to think this won’t be my only sheep hunt but it likely will be. I’ll likely go back at some point for Mtn Goat and Sitka deer. At least I’m doing the Dall young enough that another sheep isn’t a complete pipe dream. If my wife ever told me she was ok with a move to AK, I’d be gone so fast your head would spin!!
