Dall sheep produce excellent meat but are relatively small in size, and it is difficult to retrieve them from the rugged mountainous areas which they inhabit. These factors have limited sheep hunting to a relatively few, hardy individuals whose interest is more in the challenge and satisfaction of mountain hunting. During the hunt, you will be expected to carry your sleeping supplies on your back and navigate treacherous terrain. This hunt is not for the weak of heart but the reward of getting one of the most prized trophies in the hunting world is worth the work!

You will be flown directly into sheep country with one of our experienced guides. From there, you will need to climb up the mountains to go after the sheep. Sheep will be located with binoculars. As you get closer to the herd, a quality trophy will be selected with a spotting scope. From there, it is up to you to pull the trigger and reap your trophy!

Recreational hunting is limited to the taking of mature rams during August and September. The hunter will be expected to help with packing the meat due to the area and difficulty of this type of hunt.

AK Trophy hunts has over 20 years of experience in guiding and hunting sheep. We consider it our specialty.  Our clients have collected the #4 Pope and Young Dall sheep for the Safari Club International trophy and multiple rankings in the teens and twenties.
