Northern BC Fly In Expedition

[codybart]

Check out my 10 Day Fly In Hunt Video (Link Below). We took off into the wilderness of Northern BC, on our first DIY sheep hunt. It started as a sheep hunt, but after 6 days and 0 Rams, we turned our attention to a nice caribou bull.

In total, we saw 47 sheep (no rams), 30 goats, 3 caribou & 1 moose. We saw our caribou bull on day 3, but were determined to sheep hunt until day 6. We put a long stalk on him the evening of day 6, but he slipped past us. He didn't get so lucky on day 7. Took 2 days to pack him out. Pack going in was 64lbs, pack coming out was 115lbs.

In the months leading up, I trained for the hunt by competing in 2 triathlons & 1 very difficult half marathon.... The Emperor's Challenge. Getting into Sheep Shape is no easy task.

The video has beautiful scenery, lots of animals and some good, light hearted fun. Enjoy!!

That many sheep and no rams? Crazy.

Great video. Well filmed and put together.
Sounds like a hell of a pack out.

Yea, we were thinking it was crazy too. Although since it was our first sheep hunt, didn't really know what was normal. And yea the pack out was tough. Some people can't believe we chose to shoot a caribou that far in ha I guess its nice to be young and dumb sometimes. Sure made for a memorable trip.

Thanks for the nice reviews!

Thanks for sharing. Im guessing you'd have found rams if you kept glassing longer in some of those basins. It took 6 days of non stop glassing on my last hunt before even 1 sheep was spotted...he was the only sheep we found but was a good one. You can glass all day, then suddenly sheep appear out of thin air right in front of you out in the open...chalk it up as a learning experience.
Congrats on the caribou bull. Nice to go with a mixed bag approach if you truly are in it for that experience and not just a single species. If you're after a sheep, in general, you need to forget about the other stuff.

Great filming, wonderful scenery..my guess is you traveled far and should have used that exellent glass bit more..it's a steep curve..rams were there somewhere.great filming on the bou"..i Really enjoyed your video and your hunt.2 tough guys with determination.

Great trip and video, looks like you had a great trip, and yes very nice bottoms on the moose.

Well done, memorable for sure I bet
You found sheep country but that doesn't necessarily mean you found ram country
P/U on some more of their biology to help make future decisions go your way

****in deadly Boyz good job!!! That's how she's done

Well done boys, beauty caribou. Excellent job putting the vid together.

Thanks everyone for watching and the great comments! I am sure we were guilty of covering to much ground and not glassing enough. There were just so many drainages to check. Probably should have just picked 2 and stuck with those for a day instead of checking the 3-4 that we were checking. Definitely came out of the trip thinking I should have done more research on the difference of ram activity than lambs and ewes. And the different type of areas they like to hang out in.

Based on the video I was going to suggest this as well, that said I am not a very experienced sheep hunter. We found that time of day was a huge factor in spotting sheep, you could look over an area for hours with nothing to be seen only to have them magically appear late in the afternoon or at last light.

Regardless of what you think you could have done different your trip looks to be a huge success.
