North America’s premier Dall’s sheep hunt is set in western Yukon’s pristine ‘Kluane’ country and is surrounded by spectacular mountains and vast wilderness. This could be your exclusive opportunity for a magnificent Dall sheep.The Kluane First Nation (KFN) is proud to bring back the 2014 Kluane Dall Sheep Permit to the Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF). We are especially excited to announce respected outfitter David Dickson of Dickson Outfitters Ltd. and crew as the contracted qualified outfitter and guide services to deliver a spectacular sheep hunt in the Kluane Game Sanctuary. The successful bidder will be awarded one non-resident Dall Sheep permit to hunt in the specified area of 990 sq. kilometres of premier sheep country. This special sheep permit has been allocated in KFN’s Land Claim’s agreement. The intent of the exclusive sheep hunt is to grant a guiding permit to a qualified Yukon outfitter and offer the hunt to a select group of world class sheep hunters. What better place to do that than in partnership with WSF at their annual convention.

David knows the sheep and the area very well and is very pleased to offer his professional services. In addition, the Dickson’s will have all their own supplies, horses, equipment and most importantly of all will have been throughout the area preparing prior to start of the hunt. Many exciting adventures rich with history and hunting await the successful hunter.
The special hunt permit will be a 10-day horseback hunt July 20 – 30, 2014. All necessary forms and logistic arrangements will be communicated, completed in advance of the hunt.
