Glad they were rescued. The PJ's are amazing. I don't know why the hunters would climb down the upper part of that face. Thank goodness they had a SAT phone.

Right on! I drive by there every year on my way to moose camp, where exactly is the training held, right by the camp or deeper into the mountains?

"untenable situation" I'd say, damn lucky sheep hunters.

Is this it? I hunted the Tonsina CUA in 2015, awesome country:

Sakoluvr: I am with you on trying to understand the "reason" those two "Hunters" were where they were???
Attention whores?
Dumb?
Lost in a cloud for a while?
I don't know the first thing about Dall Sheep Hunting but I am guessing not many Sheep would be hanging out on that cliff?
WTH?
And I also am grateful for the rescuers that were put at risk in this "situation".

You can find sheep in that terrain, more goats but sheep will be there.

Who knows, they could have seen a drainage that had critters and trying to get to it.

Any sheep hunter has been in a "hold my beer moment, this is stupid" moment

Joel/Ak: I would have to surmise that "Sheep" would NOT find anything to eat on that sheer rock cliff - and then, whenst those nimrod Hunters were to shoot one if for some reason it were there it would cascade down that sheer cliff and be "unretrieveable".
I have been on dozens of Mt. Goat Hunts in Alaska, taxington and in Montana to know NOT to Hunt on terrain where it would be impossible and/or extremely dangerous to retrieve kill't game animals.
I'll ask again, of you, or anyone, what in the hell were they doing on that sheer cliff?

I have been in places where I was convinced I had some rams cornered. Every time they scooted out without even breaking a sweat. I think they can stick to vertical glass.
