Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Outfitter recommendation for Dall sheep in Alaska?

Who would you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Not in Alaska but I'd take a look at Kelly Haugen he has Artic Red river outfitters.

Dober

If I lived in Lesser 48, I would be desperate to hunt Alaska for Dall Sheep. Why hunt in overcrowded guide areas and be guided by an assistant guide/registered guide that lives in L48 [maybe your neighbor] and can't legally hunt sheep himself without a guide.....What The Hell?

Whitehorse,YT resident, Kelly Hougen has sold Arctic Red River outfitters [NWT]....IIRC to a guide that worked for him.....That's where I would be looking for a hunt even though it may be a bit more expensive.

VernAK,

Why settle for your neighbor from the lower 48 when you can be guided by an non-resident alien?

We would go to the same overcrowded areas, though.

Huntr, please do note the heavy sarcasm.





PM me, if you like to talk.

If I were to do a guided sheep hunt in Alaska, first guy I would talk too would be Matt Snyder of Alaska Hunting Adventures.

Give this campfire member a PM I'm sure he could steer you right,

Kelly is a great guy but no longer an Outfitter.

I'd talk to Henry Tiffany @ Alaska Perimeter Expeditions

or Mike McCann


or Dave Morris

or John Petersen

disclaimer: I know all of these guys personally except McCann two I've worked for and while my perspective was NOT that of a client, they ran a good operation from my perspective and believe I'd have felt the same way whether I was paying the freight or gettin paid 3 of them work in areas that overlap each other and it's in an area where I've hunted personally a few times though never as a guide in that particular general area. All of them work the Brooks range, there's other ranges and other outfitters that are great, those are just the ones I know of their operation to be able to endorse. I can only talk about what I actually know (and even then Art will tell ya I sometimes get in over my head)

Kirk Ellis of Ellis Big Game Guides is simply superb. I've hunted with him and know several others who have too. He has a fantastic sheep area and lots of sheep. You will not find better people to hunt with. Tell em Sam from Va. said hello.

good people.

Cmg, beautiful pic and animal!

Goodsnews, thank you very much.

That snarl is sopposed to be a grin - his biggest possible.

I kid you not - thats what the guy told me.

My dad went with these guys last year in the Brooks Range.

I was extremely impressed with them after talking with my dad.

+1 on the ellis's. I did a drop off hunt with them but when we got back to there place and waiting for my wife to come in from anchorage, I got to talk to a few of there clients (guided). nothing but smiles and not a bad word to be said.

Also the ellis's are hellofagood pilots.

I would talk to Ralph Miller of Deltana Outfitters. Great guys, fabulous area in the Brooks, great equipment and they work very, very hard to get on a good ram. Ask outfitters you are talking with whether they will move you if necessary, etc. to get you a sheep. Most won't. Take a look at the sheep they have taken over the last three years. I have hunted all over the world and hunted with Ralph twice and would highly recommend them.
