The hunt report is finally finished! If you made it this far, thanks for following along.
At camp, the guides aged my ram at 11 years old. 37.5” length with 13.5” bases. Just an absolutely cool ram.
South Nahanni Outfitters were incredible. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and...
Day 7:
It felt like I hardly slept during the night - I was starting to get a little anxious about not filling a tag as this point. With only two more days to go (and some bad weather moving in on Sunday), I felt like I was running out of time to make it happen.
Eventually 4 am came and I...
Day 6:
Our guide spoke with the outfitter the evening before and it was time to move locations. We had several hours before they would be picking us up, so we went back to the same drainage hoping we’d see the rams down low. They didn’t read the script - they were bedded even higher and not...
Day 5:
When I had checked our forecast Sunday evening, we had rain moving in on Thursday. I decided to check the forecast again before bed and was disappointed to see that had moved to Wednesday.
When I woke up, the clouds had definitely moved in and they were pretty low. Fog started to roll...
Day 4:
After breakfast, we made a plan to head back to the drainage we first hunted in day 2. By 8 am, we were staring at two rams! Even better, they were feeding fairly low. Our guide said we needed to hustle for the next 10-15 min to get closer. We made good ground and threw up the spotter...
Day 3:
The plan for the day was to climb and get a high vantage point. We followed a game trail above the creek bed from camp and started the climb. It took at least an hour to make the 2000 ft climb up the ridgeline. The majority of the climb was on soft moss/tundra which felt like climbing up...
Day 2:
It was definitely surreal waking up and lacing up my boots. We’d be sheep hunting finally! After a quick breakfast, we took off for the drainage we’d be spending the day in. Our route took us along a winding creek that was ok for the most part, but over the course of the day, we crossed...
I've enjoyed reading hunt recaps over the years and wanted to share mine as well.
After 2.5 years of waiting, I was finally able to go on my NWT Dall hunt with South Nahanni Outfitters. My brother joined me on this trip (non-hunting companion) and it was a great time! Would highly recommend...
Great rifle - I only purchased this to take on my sheep hunt. Eventually, I made a game time decision and took my Sig Cross due to the folding chassis.
348 rounds down the barrel.
Seekins Element (Gen 2) 6.5 PRC
- 21" barrel
- 2 port SRS brake (couldn't hunt with suppressor in Canada)
