2005 Hunting Summary

Back

Our first sheep hunt for the season was July 24 through August 3. We had a lot of rain at the beginning of the hunt causing extremely high water. The Dal Lake crew had to use the helicopter to return to base camp. Five rams were harvested between the Razor Ridge and Raven's Throat River.

August 3 through August 13 was the second sheep hunt for the season. Five rams and one caribou were harvested between Bailey Creek and the headwaters of the Louis Belle. Our weather had settled allowing us eight days of great hunting with the odd scattered shower.

Our third sheep hunt of the season ran from August 13 through August 27. With exception of two low fog days our weather enabled us to harvest four rams, three caribou, three wolves and a wolverine between the Endless Draw and the Black Cuts.

The fourth sheep hunt ran from August 27 through September 10. Slippery Creek, Boundary Creek and Canyon Creek were hunted. Seven rams were harvested early in the hunt allowing us to harvest four caribou and two moose later on. We were able to hunt all twelve days due to great weather.

The fifth and sixth hunts of the season were our caribou hunts. The fifth hunt ran from September 10 through September 15 and the sixth ran from September 15 through September 20.

We had 100% on the two hunts – harvesting eleven caribou from our Hook Lake base camp. A lot of wolves were spotted, a few shot at but none taken. Our temperatures lowered and we ended up with some snow but this just made the caribou hunting that much better.

We offered a moose and caribou hunt at the end of our season. This hunt ran from September 20 through September 27. A helicopter was used to transport everyone to their camps. Two moose were harvested and three caribou along the Moose Horn and Raven's Throat river. Temperatures were cooler but the days were clear.
