I was successful this year in my draw! Definitely in over my head a bit, but excited for the opportunity that lay ahead.

I got the Atlin 6032 tag. So did my cousin. I'm in a bit of shock. I can't believe we both drew the same tag. I had better start boning up on my sheep hunting knowledge!

Just a heads up for any one who wants to fly out of Atlin... Chris sold his plane and business and I'm not sure if there will be a float company based in Atlin this year.

I heard someone from Whitehorse may fill the void.

Alpine will fly you in from their base in Whitehorse, haven't heard if (positively) there will be a plane based in Atlin.

Saw decent amounts of sheep while flying in with Chris 2 years ago...both trip in and again on way out pretty hard to say for certain size or age but a couple looked really interesting.
Good luck..straight shooting..
Cheers

I got spatsizi sheep. Tat or 6-29 is a great hunt you guys going for the first time are truly lucky to have that area for your first hunt. Just the landscape it’s self is something to see. Warning to you there is a lot of grizzlies in that area the ones we seen were fairly scared and seemed to take off when picking up our scent but I’m sure they are going to be over running all areas soon enough.

Finally received my first LEH ever(SPATSIZI), after years and years. This is also my first sheep hunt, a lot of people I’ve been talking to say I’m in over my head. I’m starting my research on the area as I don’t know it at all besides seeing it on a map. I’m not loaded so this will be a harder hunt as I might have to find a way in from the Klappen, either way me and my brother are determined and we’re are going. If you have any advice I’d appreciate it, thanks.

All good, hope you get some good info as there is a lot of experience in the room.

Make the drive down to Kamloops next week for the WSSBC convention if you aren't already going. Great place to connect and share info, tell some stories, plan, etc.

I also got a sheep tag in 620 A.
I am really looking for as much info/help as I can find.
I am a new hunter and last year I pulled caribou and moose LEH for the same area, was supposed to go on a dream hunt as I also got a grizzly tag near Liard that I was going to try for in my way back from caribou/moose. However, life got in the way and I didn’t get to go. I was literally devestated and still get heartbroken thinking about it now.
So this year I put in for the early spring in the same area on the off chance that I would actually get it. I did.
620 zone A.
Looking for any recommendations for who to fly in with, or who would be a reasonable price for a guide as obviously I can’t go by myself since I’m new to hunting!

Thanks for any info!

I pulled 6-29 Tatshenshini. First LEH I've ever put in for so feeling very blessed. I'm so excited that I've not been able to sleep. Been up reading every thread on this site regarding the area and Dall sheep hunting. So much great information on this site. Right now the plan is a 10 day solo backpack hunt. Fly into Whitehorse late July, rent a truck, drive down and start hiking.

Any information and guidance from members who have been into the area is greatly appreciated. PM's are great.

Thank you,

Hunterchef

I drew 6-28 dall, im new to the site but not to sheep hunting, have never been to the area but have a great hunt plan in place, I have spoken to successful hunters as well as unsuccessful that have been in there and they all say the same thing, "its beautiful country" I could not be more excited to go! All that is left is to train!! I would love to hear of anyone else's story if they've been in 6-28, cant get enough of sheep hunting stories, successful or not!
