    The sheep population is low and your dad wants to find #40. That is terrible conservation.

    • @BackcountryAlaska
      @BackcountryAlaska  Місяць тому

      what is terrible conservation is guides eliminating populations of sheep all for a profit and for non resident hunters. Not being able to find good populations of sheep after being able to do it for 45 years is whats wrong. Not the resident sport hunter looking to fill the freezer.

    • @erikmiller2514
      @erikmiller2514 Місяць тому

      You’re right, the over harvesting of sheep via guides is problematic. Nevertheless, an individual harvesting 40 sheep purely for sport is also problematic- especially when sheep numbers are in massive decline. Can you imagine if every Alaskan sheep hunter attempted to harvest a ram every year for 40+ years and actually succeeded? A “me first” attitude is selfish and does not have successive generations in mind.

      Sheep hunting is the greatest challenge in hunting and presently it is an incredible challenge in Alaska. Dall Sheep meat is simply the best tasting wild game meat in North America. Jerry and Tommy are incredible people and are amazingly generous by letting us come along. Jerry is at Peak Performance of experience and ability when it comes to sheep hunting. The amount of effort that these two put into it is straight up mindboggling.
