ALASKA CHUGACH DALL
This spectacular opportunity has been expanded even further for the 2014 season. This special permit area now includes all of the drawing permit areas of the Chugach Mountains in Alaska Game Management Units 13D, 14A, and 14C. With this permit, you can hunt any of these units, including the fabled ‘Ram Valley’ and ‘Falls Creek’ areas within Chugach State Park, areas which haven’t been open for hunting for the last several years.
Harvest strategies in the Chugach have been restructured over the last 6-7 years, and as a result, these areas have been subject to only very limited hunting pressure. Many hunters are reporting complete solitude on their hunts, a situation not experienced since the glory days of the 1960s and 1970s. Imagine pursuing multiple 40+ inch class Dall sheep through glaciers, high cirques, and snowcapped peaks, while walking on generations-old sheep trails by yourself.
During the last two hunting seasons, three sheep were harvested from these areas of the Chugach that reached that magic combination of length and mass to put them over the 170" mark. Several others went into the mid to high 160’s. The guides and hardcore hunters that know this area well insist that even bigger ones made it through the hunting season and the Alaskan winter, and are still out there. This permit gives you the very real possibility to put a ram from this area into the record books. Finally, by purchasing this permit, you are supporting Alaska’s Dall’s sheep research program and making a critical contribution to sheep research and management in Alaska.

A 5% buyer’s premium will be added to the final bid price of each special permit sold, unless prohibited by statute. Proceeds will be dedicated to WSF Conservation Initiatives. If the winner of this item refuses to pay the premiums required, the item shall be offered to the next highest bidder for the price he/she bid.
