Unforgettable Alaska Dall Sheep Hunting
The Brooks Range in Alaska's arctic tundra is a primordial land worn by the natural elements for millennia. The oldest mountain range in Alaska, its tapered slopes boast varieties of life seen nowhere else on the planet. When the snow melts, ground cover vegetation finds a way to thrive, and it is the lifeblood for the denizens that call this range home. It is from these heights that Dall sheep forage and survey the endless landscape that unfolds for what seems like an eternity
At Arctic North Guides we offer forays into this unforgiving wilderness to target the sovereign inhabitants of these slopes on our Alaska Dall sheep hunting excursions. The primeval landscape conjures images of a world forgetting in the modern age. Expansive valleys are traversed by ancient herds of caribou and give way to ragged peaks that form the horizon. Alaska Dall sheep hunting offers a chance to glimpse these lands as few have, and experience something that call only be called "wild."

Even though the slopes where our Alaska Dall sheep hunting takes place are free from dense alder thickets or trees, it still requires stamina and hearty gear. Rams are common between 2,500 and 5,000 feet, and while the terrain is less severe than other parts of the state, good physical condition is a must when traversing the rugged inclines.
Alaska Dall Sheep Hunting Essentials
At the heart of an Alaska Dall sheep hunting trip is the opportunity to harvest rams that average 37 inches. By offering only two Dall sheep hunting trips a year, our primary focus is always a quality experience. Our approach lends itself to maintaining healthy populations of quality animals, never compromising the delicate balance of life in the region. It also means that Alaska Dall sheep hunting with Arctic North Guides remains some of the best in the state, and many agree that they are the most thrilling of all sheep hunts.
After arriving at our main camp you will be flown in our own Super Cub to a remote spike camp where you will meet your hunting guide. While the majority of our Dall sheep are harvested near these camps, sometimes it is necessary to hike out with a "fly camp" to access even more remote locales. Essentials for your Alaska Dall sheep hunting excursion include a flat shooting rifle with quality optics and a good pair of binoculars. A well broken in pair of leather hunting boots are recommended, and after a day in the mountains your feet will thank you. Your guide will provide a hunting scope to aid in your hunting efforts.
For your Alaska Dall sheep hunting trip you should be in the best possible physical condition. Your success will depend upon it. The unexpected pleasure of a successful Dall sheep hunt is the chance to gaze upon the landscape from the heights of the mountain slopes, and it is a sight you will never forget.
After your successful hunt you will be taken back to the main camp where a hot shower and a home cooked meal await. At Arctic North Guides, we offer complete service for your cape and horns alike, including shipping to your choice of taxidermist.
