Dall Sheep and Brown/Grizzly Bear Combination Hunts with Alaska Remote Guide Service

Dall Sheep and Brown/Grizzly Bears are the two main species we hunt.  Black bear, wolf and wolverine are also available.  We do most of our hunting in my “Sole Use Guide Concession” in Denali Preserve, which just renewed through 2017.  I’ve held the eastern half of this concession since 1988.  The western half of my concession was just added in 2007, and includes some fantastic Dall Sheep hunting areas and some great salmon streams and denning areas for hunting Brown/Grizzly Bears in the fall, that has been closed to guided non resident hunters since 1988.  I’m limited to a total of 13 clients per year in this concession area.

Most of our hunts are 11 day single specie hunts for either dall sheep or brown/grizzly bear.  Because sheep and bear hunts overlap to a large extent, we try to provide second specie add-ons for roughly half price on a trophy fee basis to clients who are interested, and when time, weather and resources allow.

For the serious hunter who wants a better chance at both species and/or increased trophy size, we can also offer a 14 day hunt in most cases.  Also, most of my concession has a two brown bear per year bag limit.  This combination might also interest the serious brown/grizzly hunter who would like to take two bears.

Combination Prices & Specifics

14 day 1 X 1 Dall Sheep and Brown/Grizzly Combination = $19,500.00
Trip length includes in and out days.  When possible, we try to get clients that achieve early success, out early if they wish.  A legal Dall Sheep ram has to be full curl on at least one side, broomed on both sides, or at least 8 years old.

NOTE: A person who has been airborne may not take or assist in taking big game until after 3:00 a.m. following the day in which the flight occurred.  For this reason, Clients should try to arrive a day or two early and leave a day or two later than actual trip dates.  

RECOMMENDED DATES - August 18th – August 31st / August 31st – September 13th / September 13th – September 26th (dall sheep can only be hunted until September 20th) 

PRICES INCLUDE -  one round trip air charter plus one additional move if necessary, food, lodging and trophy care in the field (necessary fleshing and salting to preserve hides until we get to town), and transportation between Anchorage and the air charter.
 
NOT INCLUDED - Round trip transportation of you and your gear, game and trophies between your home and Anchorage, necessary hotel accommodations before and after your hunt, and licenses and tags.  We will gladly assist you in making arrangements and reservations, and can sell you the tags ourselves ($85.00 for non-resident Hunting license, $500.00 brown/grizzly tag, $425.00 sheep tag – see “license and tag fees” link for complete information).  
  
INCIDENTAL SPECIES – Black bear, wolf and wolverine can be hunted for no additional charge, contingent upon open seasons.  “Incidental” means that we don’t move to or specifically hunt for them, but if we run across one while pursuing sheep or grizzly, and can take it without messing up your main hunt, you can.  You must purchase the tags in advance. 

OTHER OPTIONS – For the combination hunter who doesn’t have 14 days, we could provide a 2nd guide for the same price on an 11 day hunt.  We could hunt harder and faster by adding an extra set of eyes, and an extra back for packing.  Also, hunting time wouldn’t be lost due to skinning, butchering and caping.  One guide could stay behind to do chores and the second could keep the client hunting. Feel free to ask about other  considerations that might be of interest to you as well.
