gerrygoat;
Good afternoon to you sir, I trust this finds you all doing well.

I'm hearing from a few locals who did northern hunts this year that it was tough hunting with few animals seen and few yet taken.

Down here it's been more of the same - why that is I can't say, but it surely has been an odd hunting season in many ways already with silent bull elk and the whitetail seemingly vacuumed up by alien craft. wink

As you say sir - that's indeed hunting, isn't it?

To the OP, welcome to the 'Fire and to be clear I've no connection with the outfitter other than residing in the same province. It's a fairly big place though as it'd be two reasonably long days drive north - 23 odd hours - to get to where you hunted from here.

All the best to all who hunt here this fall.

The weather has been really bad this September so I'm not surprised hunting has been tough especially for sheep. When you go late in the season the odds of bad weather go up a lot.

In the area I have hunted a lot for sheep some years we saw lots of legal rams and other years none at all. This is in really good sheep country too. It's just the way sheep hunting is, next year at the same time frame the place may be crawling with big rams you just never know.

For the record I don't know anyone from that outfit and if the truth be told the way the GOABC has lobbied against resident hunters I would rather the whole current system gets shut down. That said I'm sure the guides put a lot of effort into making sure they did all they could.
