We had a great season again this year despite the less than
favourable weather. The summer was very wet and foggy, but
everyone on our great crew worked extra hard to make the best of the
less than ideal conditions. We had several last minute cancellations,
so the number of hunters was down a bit.
We took a lot of really great old rams this year, maybe in part due to
the bad weather moving them out of their hiding spots. Of our 20
sheep hunters this year, 17 took rams despite the challenges with the
weather.
The rams averaged 11 years old this season, and the average
horn length was an incredible 38 inches, despite the fact that
some of the rams were heavy and broomed back. The two archery
hunters this year both took home great rams.
Our clients were able to take 19 caribou this season. Almost all were
taken as a second animal on a sheep or moose hunt. The average
gross on caribou in 2008 was 380 B&C, with 4 bulls going over 400.
We only took 4 moose hunters in 2008 but all were able to take home
good mature heavy horned bulls, the best being a 62 incher. We also
had several hunters take home wolves this season.
We would like to thank all of the clients and crew for working hard to
make the 2008 season a great success.
