Redstone Trophy Hunts 2007 Newsletter

Welcome to Redstone Trophy Hunts – We offer world class hunting for Dall Sheep, Mountain Caribou, and Alaska/Yukon Moose. Wolf and Wolverine are also taken as available.

Redstone Trophy Hunts is located in the heart of the Mackenzie Mountains, NWT, Canada. The hunting area (S/OT/O5) lies 250 miles south of the Arctic Circle, and consists of 6000 square miles of magnificent, untouched wilderness. Elevations vary from 3,800 ft. to 7,500 ft.

This area supports a large population of Dall Sheep and Caribou. Hunter success has averaged 95% on both species over the last 18 years. Rams taken have averaged 10.5 years of age. A number of Boone and Crocket Caribou have also been harvested in recent years, including a pending new world record (463 BC points) in 2003.

Destination point is Norman Wells, NWT. Upon your arrival in Norman Wells, you are flown to our base camps by float plane. Both base camps (Hay Hook Lake and Dal Lake) are equipped with modern cookhouses, propane heated guest houses, and hot showers. Both camps offer excellent fishing for Lake Trout and Arctic Grayling.

From the base camps, you will travel by saddle horse/pack horse, river boat, or helicopter to different ranges and drainages within the area. This enables hunters to access much of the area and harvest the best animals available. It also enables us to accommodate people of mixed ages and physical abilities.

Fly camps consist of a private tent for the clients, guide tent, and a canvas style cook tent with stove for meals and after dinner gatherings. For personalized service each client is assigned an experienced guide.

We provide all camps, equipment, food, guides, stock, tack, and accommodations while you are hunting. You will need to bring your personal effects, sleeping bag, binoculars, ammunition, boots, and clothing. You are also responsible for license fees, trophy fees, air charter to and from base camp, and Canadian GST.

Please call or write with any questions. We would be happy to forward an information packet for the upcoming season. Thank you for your time and consideration.

2007 Hunting Summary

We started the season off doing a few back pack hunts. Getting flown out by helicopter enabled us to hunt some country we hadn't been in a while, if ever. Hunts 1 and 2 were very successful, harvesting nine rams and four caribou. The Keele River, Painted Mountains, Rouge Range, Louis Belle, Tigonankweine and the Silverberry were all hunted.

We had a pretty rainy season right up to mid September, starting the beginning of August.

Goat Camp and Slippery Creek were hunted on our third hunt, August 3-13. Both camps moved up river, on the fourth hunt to Caribou and Willow camp. Between the two hunts ten rams were harvested, four caribou and four wolves.

On our last sheep hunt, August 27-September 10, seven ram were taken and eight caribou. Half Moon Lake, Hook Creek and the Redstone Pass were all hunted.

Throughout our caribou hunts five caribou, three moose, two sheep and a wolf was harvested. Three clients stayed for both hunts enabling them to harvest their moose and sheep. Unfortunately, two clients were unable to be flown into camp for several days, due to weather, causing them to miss their hunt completely. Both will have a chance in 2008 to harvest their bulls.

Our late season moose hunt ran from the 20th of September to the 27th. The weather co-operated enough for all hunters to get their bulls plus one caribou.
