Wow- Sheep Hunt Costs Going Up Up Up!

[cbeard]

Took a beautiful Fannin ram in the Yukon in 2006 with plans to go back for a Dall in 2009 or 2010. But looks like my plans may have to change. The same hunt I took went from $14000 in 2006 to $21000 in 2009(and add-on trophy fee for moose increased from $2500 to $5000).

I assume increased demand, weak U.S. dollar, and increased fuel costs are the culprits.

Looks like I need to hope against hope to draw a Desert or Rocky tag someday......

Anybody got a good value on a Dall hunt?? I don't need a book sheep but would like a chance at a good mature ram. Thanks!!

Most of the Dall hunts in Alaska are currently running between 10K and 12K. I am booked for 2009 for 10,500 in the Brooks Range. Any Dall hunts in the Yukon are around 15K to 21K based on my research before booking.

I went about 5 years ago, for $7500.00.
Hunted the Chugash with Lonesome Dove outfitters, out of Valdez.
Don't know what they go for now.
Some nice rams in that range.

I saw a pretty decent looking dall hunt on Ebay a short time back. From the pictures, it looks like they take some pretty decent rams. Price looks pretty good too. Don't know if the hunt would still be available but here is the link. Good luck!!!
