One of the most sought after animals in Alaska, Dall Sheep offer challenging hunting conditions and the adventure of a lifetime. Nonresident hunters are required to be accompanied by a guide of next or kin Alaskan residents when hunting sheep. Great trophy potentials can be found statewide although a few units do offer better rams and lower hunter numbers.
General tags can be picked up in a number of units and can provide excellent opportunities, particularly for residents. Horn length and age restrictions are very exact and hunters need to be very aware of their particular GMU’s requirements when in the field.
Dall sheep generally inhabit breathtaking country not of the norm for most of the other species in the state and will certainly test hunters both mentally and physically.
