AOU’s ANWR Wilderness “Exclusive Concession” is two million acres located right in the heart of the best Brooks Range Dall’s sheep habitat. These areas are dominated by tall mountains cut deeply by rivers and streams flowing to the Arctic Ocean. This is truly a last of the frontier Alaskan adventure! AOU’s Wrangell Mountains operation is one of only two outfits operating in the South Wrangell’s, home to the largest Dall’s sheep in the world. The exclusive concession is located within Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. This concession also provides what may be the best opportunity for a mixed bag hunt anywhere in Alaska. Sheep, moose, goats, brown bears, and black bears all live in healthy densities within this concession.
