    I applaud the honesty you demonstrated in showing your apprehension to tackle some of the terrain but instead back out and regroup. Epic hunt and a beautiful sheep, congratulations. I hope to have a similar experience someday.

    Well done! Interestingly, when my granddaughter graduated from high school, her last assignment was to interview an adult in her life, and she chose me! One of her questions was: “ What the number 1 regret in your life?” After thinking it over for a minute or two, I told her it was that I never went on a Dall Sheep hunt. I’m really lucky in that all of my other dream hunts actually did come true, but too many knee injuries, and too many years have passed by to ever consider doing it now. Still, I love watching these adventures where perseverance, confidence, and experience all play such an important roll. Congratulations on a great ram!

    I don’t think I can go a day without thinking or dreaming of hunting for anything in the Northwest Territories. Anything that remote and completely solitary is exactly what draws me in. Well put together film of exactly what haunts my dreams day after day Vortex!

    Dall, then Ibex and Argali God willing. Great effort, guys. I love it when the guide gets excited!

    The joys of hunting Alaska: weather, brutal terrain, long sightlines on game with no approach; but the beauty and majesty one experiences is worth it. I would love to do a multi-week hunt there for moose, dall and bear. What a place!

    Maybe the best Dall Sheep hunt video I’ve seen on TH-cam. Really love the emotion at the end.

    After breaking my foot this summer and missing sheep season it really proved to me how special these experiences really are. Nothing can compare.

    Any hunt in Alaska that you fly in remote is a dream hunt, the adventure trumps the outcome. Great film

    Absolutely love the conviction from the guide - knowing he was setting up a tough day with low odds, but trusted his gut and it paid off. The work these guys put in for the opportunity. That's the energy I want to bring to my first archery elk experience here in the PNW (and that's my current dream hunt). Great work by everyone involved on this film.

    I was able to help my father harvest his only(so far) mule deer in Colorado. It was a great buck and we did it ourselves on public land. Any hunts I get to do with family can be considered dream hunts and memories I will always treasure.

    Unbelievable struggle and ultimate triumph over self and the elements. Well documented, incredible footage. Congratulations Sean and great guide work and insights from Arctic Red River Outfitters. My dream hunt would be for Roosevelt Elk in the Cascades

    With my son growing up so fast and so interested in hunting and outdoors lifestyle, I am very motivated and to spend as much time in the backcountry with him as possible. I dream of and look forward to goat and sheep hunts with my son! He is my backcountry buddy and I am blessed by each adventure we share together.

  • @JoeyChiaf
    @JoeyChiaf 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This is one of the best Dall sheep hunts I’ve watched. I’m stuck in a tractor in the middle of a bean field in central Missouri. But while watching this hunt in my mind I was thousands of miles northwest of here! I could feel the struggle and could see the emotions on your faces! Awesome job! And congrats on the ram! You guys earned it!!
    It’s hard to pick just one dream hunt. Between Dall Sheep, Moose, or Caribou. But if I could only choose one I think I would have to go with the sheep. Just because of the country they lead you into!

  • @balmg4113
    @balmg4113 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Caribou in Alaska is a dream hunt. My late grandfather went Caribou hunting in Quebec a few times. It was the first wild meat I ever remember eating and have had an affinity for the animal ever since.

    @Subsilent00 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Outstanding film with a grand accomplishment! Eight hard days stalking through beautiful country, y'all are great hunters to look up to! The best part was the picture of your family and your reflection upon them! I love the brotherly bond also. Time and Patience are the greatest warriors!
    My dream hunt is in the Alaskan Wilderness for 2 weeks going after big game!

  • @maxwilson22
    @maxwilson22 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Every time I watch one of these sheep hunts on TH-cam I tell myself “that would suck in the best way possible.” The reward and satisfaction is so much greater in hunts like these. Fantastic film, well done!

    Probably one of the best Northern Hemisphere filmed hunts I've watched. So good to see you guys put in the hard yards, cut no corners and enjoy the journey! Excellent job on putting the film together, top quality stuff, simple and highly effective. Much respect from New Zealand!

    What a great one-of-a-kind adventure, 10 days of long walking in pursuing the mountains and valleys for the DALL sheep that live in this rough terrain. Myself, I enjoy looking at the excellent equipment that was taken for this hunt. The kill was so exhilarating...One shot in 8 days, excellent job.

    That’s so fantastic. Brennan shows his mastery of the Mackenzie Mountains again!! His work ethic is amazing! I learned so much when I got Mt. Caribou with him in ‘21. Almost the exact same ending with a kill after 7:30 and 12 miles from camp. Awesome and congrats on an amazing feat not many people understand. Very nostalgic for me to watch, my short 30 second clips I was able to take are good but not that good.

    That’s what it takes to succeed on every hunt especially for Dall sheep. It’s takes more you have and sometimes more than you are willing to give. Perseverance will always succeed. I hope one day I can experience that hunt. Great journey, thank you.

    Wow !!! What an awesome hunt that took 100% of all effort and commitment.
    As a disabled veteran I have always wanted to hunt a big Alaskan brown bear but not sure with my disability that I would be able to pull that off. Dreams, it is all about dreams

  • @LouisWhall-l2p
    @LouisWhall-l2p 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Being out in the high country wilderness is ultimately what I enjoy. I have pursued elk in these situations but have always heard that sheep was the ultimate hunt. Takes a giant level of commitment to get success.

    Absolute athletes! From the guide, camera crew and hunter. Very few people ever get to experience the emotions of hunting. The rollercoaster ride of emotions. Fully exhausted with self doubt creeping in. It takes grit and the grace of God to get through the tuff times! Way to hunt smart and stay safe! Beautifully filmed!!!

  • @adiecidue8703

    Stellar Video. A sheep hunt is at the top of the list for a bucket list hunt, a more realistic goal is a mountain goat. Something rough, rugged and unique.

    An EPIC hunt in one of the most stunningly beautiful locations on earth. Well done Sean, and kudos to the unsung hero behind the camera. Thanks for the amazing footage. Ironically I’m on my own hunt camped next to a communications tower watching this while taking a break before heading back out on the day after opening day here in the Stanislaus National Forest. Dream hunt would be an Idaho or Montana elk hunt.

    That was the most epic video I’ve ever seen, you fellas are half human half mountain goat, there is no way I could have ever done anything like that, I’m on the edge of my bed whispering to you fellas on my iPad and when you took the shot and dropped the sheep I jumped up yelling yes,yes, you got him, my eyes even started to well up so I can’t imagine what you were feeling, I don’t even know you fellas one bit but I’m so happy for the both of you, was so happy that you decided not to try and make that decent, even on camera it looked so sketchy and no hunt is worth injury or your life. A massive congratulations on your hunt of a lifetime, your absolutely deserved it, well done fellas and thank you for bringing us along, it was absolutely deluxe to watch, congrats again fellas, cheers Yogi ✌️🤙🇦🇺

    Aweome video guys! and great Story. Being from Newfoundland we only have 3 species of big game and its usually a couple years between drawing tags so anything other than Moose is a dream hunt for me. i think my number 1 dream hunt though would be for Elk. The idea of chasing elk in the mountains and hearing a bugle is the stuff dreams are made of!

    Love the film!! I drew a dream tag for Kodiak Brown Bear for this fall. As a resident of Kodiak I feel extremely blessed for the opportunity, only 3 tags in the unit and I got one of them. Moose or caribou would have to be my other bucket list hunts. Alaska is beyond beautiful, but the weather can be humbling.

  • @jimmyvogs
    @jimmyvogs 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Such an epic Adventure. The remoteness and beauty of the places that Dall sheep live is incredible. As an Arizona native who didn't start big game hunting until after I moved away, an AZ bull elk hunt, AZ strip mule deer hunt, or coues whitetail hunt are on the top of my dream hunt lists. I spent many years hiking and backpacking in some of the best elk, mule deer, and coues whitetail country in the whole US and didn't even know it. Now that I know it, the non-resident expenses and difficulty of drawing tags mean there's a good chance I'll never get to hunt big game in AZ, but that's ok. I am super fortunate to get to big game hunt every year as a resident of my new state.

  • @justingarant9367

    Man, this video was an adventure. That was some epic determination and pushing till the end. Awesome sheep. I would be pumped to have put those hard miles on and to even come home empty, that wilderness is the adventure but succeeding in the ultimate goal puts the cherry on top. I would love to spend some time in Alaska chasing caribou with the bow or moose. And to also have an adventure chasing elk in Montana . Awesome film
