WideOpenSpaces;
Good afternoon once more, thanks for the reply and you're of course most welcome.
Access will totally depend upon where we're going to hunt, so for the thin horns up north, there's lots of planes chartered for sure.
There are a few places however where guys will jet boat in, heading up the major rivers in the area.
I suspect that only the very local hunters or the guides bring in pack stock. There were packers that we heard about before the beer flu shutdowns, but what's left of either the packers or the guides for that matter anymore I can't guess. From what we hear it really hit them hard.
When we did our annual sheep count this past February there was a young couple on my count team who were going to drive up to Muncho Lake this fall and walk in, so it's doable for sure.
While I hunt solo down here on the mountains behind the house, I don't think my family would be happy with me heading up into that Muncho Lake country on my own and honestly now that my age starts with a 6, it's likely best if I didn't.
All that to say if you can find a like minded hunter, even if you don't hunt the same spot.
Here's a link to a couple of young fellows I met at one of our annual sheep counts a couple years back and they marched in.

I used to ride our horses out of the corral and onto Crown Land that stretches from here almost to the back way into Kelowna. The skiing, hiking, mountain biking, canoe/kayaking etc. is amazing and it's pretty much at the edge of town.
While the hunting isn't maybe what it was in the late '80's or early '90's, some species are doing quite well still so it's not all gloom and doom.
One needs to be somewhat careful about living here and working in the oil patch if that's your line of work - just make sure you can meet the resident requirements is where I'm going.
Again if you think of anything else do give me a shout and I'll see what I can come up with.
All the best.

Buddy's sheep from the mountain behind the house last season.
A much younger me, but I killed this ram 31 years and 2 days before buddy's and it was maybe a half a kilometer from where mine got shot.
So yes, I do put in for the ridiculously high odds sheep hunt behind our place, cause I kinda/sorta know where they might usually be...
