Dall Sheep & Fannin Sheep

Midnight Sun Outfitting is one of the few outfitters in the High North to offer both Dall and Fannin sheep hunts.

Fannin sheep are a sub-species of the Stone sheep, characterized by their black tails and black hair in their capes. In Boone & Crocket records and terminology, Fannin sheep are qualified as Stone sheep, while SCI has Fannin sheep in a separate category altogether.  Now more than ever, though, hunters are eager to harvest Fannin sheep and California bighorns as an upgraded Grand Slam or FNAWS. 

Our sheep hunts are carried out in the most immersive, exciting traditional forms: horseback, backpack, and down several different river channels by raft. We work hard to manage our sheep populations and believe in taking only top quality, fully aged trophies. The quality of rams taken has been our secret to success as we consistently harvest sheep averaging ten and a half years or older. In our concession, Midnight Sun guides have also harvested some of the biggest sheep in the world. 

Midnight Sun Outfitting is concession #4, which is the second-largest hunting area in the Yukon spanning an unbelievable 12,000 square miles. Our concession is in the heart of the conservation-protected Peel River Watershed and encompasses the famous Hart and Wind River Drainages. Hunting in the magnificent Wernecke and Ogilvie mountains is one of the last ways to immerse in the untouched world on a massive scale. In a landscape that constantly rewards hunters with unbelievable scenery and biodiversity, there are no limits on hunting potential. Our hunts are lifechanging experiences for guides and guests alike. 

The Young family has been invested supporters of the Wild Sheep Foundation through the generations, having donated and assisted for over 30 years. We are blessed to have helped start the <1 Club, The Endowment Fund, The Membership Drive, became members of the Marco Polo Society, and even donated the first sheep hunt to the "Ladies Luncheon.” We encourage all hunters to join the Wild Sheep Foundation, and we are excited to share our passion for pursuing and protecting wild sheep with all of you!
