STONE SHEEP HUNTING | CASSIAR MOUNTAINS | BRITISH COLUMBIA | S1 | E25 | ALPINE CARNIVORE

[@drewschroeder6714]

Y’all sure get yourselves into some beautiful country. Been watching for a couple months now and you’re production quality of these videos is as good or better than many of the well known channels. I can only assume this channel is about to grow like crazy! Excellent work fellas

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Hey drew thanks for that, we truly appreciate the feedback and we hope you are right we have only been putting out vids for a few months now so hopefully it really takes off soon. Cheers see yea next week!

[@SheepdogsHeart]

A 21 day hunt had to be absolutely epic! What an adventure! Thanks for sharing.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

It truly was, to clear the mind and enjoy nature in its most raw form! Thanks for watching we put out new hunts every Sunday. I hope you subscribe to the Chanel and follow along!

[@deadon1980]

Great videos fellas keep them coming!!! Started tuning in a few months back and I look forward to the weekly additions.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Awesome! Thank you! That is great to hear!

[@greggbell9837]

Gorgeous country! Nice to see the realities of ethical hunting, and the production quality is superb.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Thank you we do our best to bring you guys the best quality possible.

[@Mountain_addictions]

Absolutely phenomenal hunt fellas, your last words sum it all up perfectly! Thank you for sharing, you’ve done a great job at putting this together!

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Thanks for watching Ed, glad you enjoyed it and can relate.

[@clunesadventures]

Terrific video gents! I loved the interaction you had with the Ram that you let go. If you're not 100% confident it's legal you need to let him walk! It's brutally important from a conservation side. Not many people realize how old a ram needs to be before he is able to breed. So different from Whitetail, Elk and Moose. Kudos to being true outdoorsman and not just in it for a kill shot.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Thanks for the comment and feedback, it’s tough to let them go sometimes but we are here to put on a good show and enjoy nature there doesn’t always have to be a kill involved to have a great experience in the outdoors. Thanks for watching 👍

[@mn05zk]

You guys made the right call. Just a tad short. Been hunting sheep in Yukon my entire life, for what it’s worth, you guys were bang on in your assessment. Great video!

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Thanks for watching! Hope to get one this year👍

[@mn05zk]

Hope you do! Good luck.

[@lindaleebeaulieu4690]

Love the attitude and the final words put it all into perspective. video and audio quality is awesome. Keep the videos coming.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Thanks I learned it from my mom ❤️

Loved every second of it

Once again, Awesome production! A rugged, beautiful country! You guys keep it real & your Vid Cam Dude is Excellent! You guys are going to GroW this channel!! One of the best channels I've found!👍👊

Lots of learning g in our first season we’re excited to be releasing season 2 in a few months

@@AlpineCarnivore -already looking forward to it!

[@whitetailsheds7771]

Good stuff boys!! Showed the reality of a hunt like that!! And, by the way.....that ram was 8!!

[@AlpineCarnivore]

I think your right I believe he as 8...... lol at least I know where he is for next year

[@whitetailsheds7771]

@@AlpineCarnivore you guys did the right thing though....if in doubt, don't! Too many short Stones ram's taken this year. Good job you guys!! You'll know when you see a legal ram!! It'll take your breathe away!!

[@MindfulHunter]

Well done lads. Great hunt and great film!

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Thanks for watching!

[@marieethier9732]

Love watching your adventures!! Im a little jealous hehe

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Glad you like them! It's fun to share with everyone!

[@richhuntsd12]

Amazing country and an awesome video. You did the right thing by not shooting. You guys probably have seen tons more sheep than most people and if You guys were not sure then You did the right thing. Anybody can watch this and say maybe You should have taken that Ram but they weren’t there! You were. I really like your videos. Thank You for sharing your hunts

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Rams are tough and it seems like the one big ram was in fact 8 years old now that we can review it on the big screen but in the moment I was not sure. It’s always better to air on the side of caution no sheep is worth loosing a licence over that’s for sure!

[@ronwilliamson8384]

great video up @ my old stomping grounds grew up in HAZELTON some of the most beautiful country in the world now in Alberta for the last 16yrs and head west to the mountains as much as possible, curious if you guys checked out the crater as it could have been a possible volcanic pipe and certain things can be found @ there....

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Hey Ron we did check out the rim of the crater but that’s about it. I’m not sure what a volcanic pipe looks like.

[@ronwilliamson8384]

@@AlpineCarnivore I've never been up close to one but definitely something you need to research into and maybe ( WE can go back) for another hunt and exploration lol

[@scottr564]

Great job guys!

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Thanks Scott!

[@PositiveBuilds]

It looks like you had some serious shelter failures. Are you going to make some upgrades/changes? I use a Seek outside Eolus, it's not perfect, but it survived a few AWEFUL storms above treeline.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Lol yea we got smashed, our tents have held up pretty good so far but cheeses tent was pushing 8 years old and had some Sirius wear from previous hunts. They are sending him a new one as we speak!

[@dominiquevernier3899]

Great trip, great scenery! To bad the sheeps and the caribous were not legal to shoot! Better luck next time but it was still a beautiful hunt.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

We get them next time thanks for watching

[@jordanmaerz7852]

Ya here in Red Lake Ontario, your buddy Mike told me about your channel. You guys are 👍. Keep it up

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Awesome! Thanks for watching there's a lot more hunts coming up! We post every sunday!

[@kingofthenorth8515]

great hunt guys awesome content u guys do any guiding ? lol

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Lol Not at the moment but yes we have guided in the past! Thanks for watching!

[@jamiko99]

on second look counting the rings using the crown method, it does look 8. im not an expert and i would still not take the shot because im looking for older ram but it likely was legal on age

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Yes it was very close and probably legal. So hard to tell but glad we didnt take a chance.

[@PositiveBuilds]

That was a legal ram based on age. It was short on full curl but I am 100% sure that it is legal age, I think he's 9 yrs old. Always hard to shoot based on age so letting it walk when unsure is the right call. Also, you know where a legal ram is if you want to go back. If you want to hunt sheep in Region 6 then you need to learn to age them otherwise it makes finding a legal ram significantly harder. Great work.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Good info! We will be heading back next year for sure! Hopefully hes still alive!

[@josephthurgood135]

I agree counting the crown he was a 9 year old ram, but always better to not shoot if you aren’t sure. Love your channel

[@eljaywhite8325]

great video!! in the begging of the video you had and app you were marking where you walked with your finger. what app was that? thank you

[@AlpineCarnivore]

That’s the IHunter app. You can do a bunch of stuff on it, tracking, way points, plan your route. You can change from topo to satellite imagery. We use it on the hunt and when we plan for the trip. It even works with no service if you download the maps. Thanks for watching

[@rodneydionne1087]

you are correct the Ram is short!! good job yours are true Hunters

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Thanks Rodney always a tough call to make when you put in that many hours and hike that many kilometers to try and find an animal but its the right thing to do if your not sure dont shoot!

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Ohhh man having all your shit wet and cold!!! Sooooo dangerous!!! Super super serious man. Glad you obviously got thru it!!! Whew that's scary and cold shit man!!

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Yea always lessons to learn in the mountains and the best one to remember is no matter how tough you think you are Mother Nature always rules!

[@kentrains8301]

What is the brand of your muzzle protectors?

[@AlpineCarnivore]

This one is a eberlestock rifle and crown cover. We've since switched over to the Sthealthy hunter rifle and crown cover. They both work great, but the Sthealthy hunter is more geared for light weight hunter.

[@zeldarobinson3382]

Beautiful country, we us to watch the Goats on the mountains around Stewart BC and the Caribou across the Meziadian Lake from our home on the mountains. And No I do not believe that Ram was legal .good call . Lots of moose in that area also .long highway 6 . Lots of loggin roads

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Sure is a beautiful place up that way no logging roads out here though lol

[@zeldarobinson3382]

@@AlpineCarnivore no logging roads there is awesome . Lots of goats on the mountains going into Stewart. I love northern BC .

[@henryfitzpatrick2539]

Hey do you guys wear a mountaineering boot or just a hiking boot ? Great content 👌

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Hey Henry, we wear Crispi boots. Mitch loves his laponia’s which light with a flexible sole and Travis wears the Briksdal which have thicker leather and a stiffer sole. It’s all personal preference and what feels good on your feet

[@OutdoorsDadBC]

Love all your vids man. One of my fav channels on YT. Where did you get your guys' rifle tip covers? I love those and could use a few

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Thanks man! We got those from Cabelas, they are called Eberlestock scope and crown covers I think. Picked them up for around 90$ CAN

[@OutdoorsDadBC]

@@AlpineCarnivore thanks Man! That's great to know! Happy Hunting and Documenting!

[@AlpineCarnivore]

No problem! Happy hunting to you as well!

[@Jack30101]

Just found out about this channel, you guys are just animals. I have hunted Montana and Washington have had some rough terrain but nothing like that. Would rather pass the ram instead of losing my hunting license. I think hunting makes some of the best memories.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Yea sheep are tough man but for me the tougher it is the more I enjoy it I’m a little odd like that haha. Two your second comment I agree nothing is worth loosing my right to hunt if I’m not sure there’s always next year!

[@jamiko99]

that ram was close but definately a good call not taking the shot.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Yea you bet if your not sure don’t shoot cheers James

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

We got 4 G bears about 450 yards away. Ok we're gonna make camp🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. No doubt this isn't your boys first rodeo lol. Ain't noooo way I'm camping 4 football fields away from a sow and 3 cubs. Or any grizz for that matter. Absolutely beautiful tho!!

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Lol when your in bear country there’s not much you can do. We moved upwind and once they caught our smell they moved off so all good there thankfully !

[@sonnymolina8748]

Have a lot of respect for both of you incredible and Gorgeous country both of you are ethical hunters keep hunting

Nothing like sheep country! 👍 Great to see young guys “hunting”, not “sniping”! 👍🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@craigleibbrand7761]

You guys are really tough it was an excellent video I hope you can do it again and get a huge full curl ram. The Stone sheep is the most beautiful in the world. The most magnificent is the Marco Polo.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Thanks Craig hopefully we can make it happen this fall!

[@brianayala8446]

How did the laponia’s hold up on that hunt?

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Hey thanks for watching! Mitch loves his Laponia’s, he’s still wears them, they’ve got a lot of miles on them now and are finally starting to show some wear. Super light weight, he says it’s like wearing a pair of running shoes! Lol they are super water proof but you want to make sure you use the treatment cream after every good hunt just like you should with every other boot.

[@fralin1966]

The Ram was legal he appears to be at least 8 years old I'm thinking 9 but not worth the chance good call great hunt .

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Yea it’s a tough call when you don’t have a side profile.

[@craigleibbrand7761]

You guys made the right call. I don't think it was legal but damn close

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Yea, apparently it was harvested by another group the following week and was 8 years old.

[@brittongoode9627]

Who sing the song

[@AlpineCarnivore]

What song

[@connorreeves1310]

The ram was legal by age. Spend hours looking at pictures of legal and short/underage rams for comparison. Good luck in 2022.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Yea I think he may have been. And I will be doing more studying next season for sure. Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@timross7046]

I thought he was legal but easy call from the couch.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Turns out after we made this someone found us on Instagram and killed that ram and he was 8

[@gordonjeck2395]

Not a ram there over 6 yrs old. None of them needed a closer look. Thanks guys for not pulling the trigger. We need to stop shooting so many short sheep in the province. If you think any of those rams were close give your head a shake!!

[@AlpineCarnivore]

If you aren't 100% sure, don't shoot! That's how we roll! Thanks for watching!

[@TheWildFrontier]

he looks shy of breaking the nose. coulve been legal in age though

[@AlpineCarnivore]

I was told by an outfitter who works in that region and recognized the area after watching the video he took a client in there and killed that ram and it was 8 years old. But I wasn’t comfortable making that call on age alone…

[@jeffreywieber7400]

Good choice not shooting. Your definition of full curl may be different than ours in Alaska but I wouldn't have shot!

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Hey Jeffrey, thanks for watching! In British Columbia a legal stone sheep is either 8 years old or past the bridge of the nose when viewed at right angles this guy was about half an in short after reviewing the photos we took of him once he was on level ground but he was in fact legal by age. At least we know where he is for next season!

[@cornpop3473]

Legal

[@youtubedino76]

Shane no I wouldn't of u never take a shot your not sure of u made a good call

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Exactly👍 thanks for watching!

[@monasheemountainman]

i think he was legal on age, but good call if youre not sure dont shoot!

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Yea he turned out to be 8 after we reviewed the footage, it’s always easy once he is on the big screen. We’ll get ‘em next time!

[@monasheemountainman]

Totally! Easy to look thru a still shot on a zoomed in pic!!! Good job boys love your vids! From a fellow bc hunter

[@frankwolfe3181]

He’s legal. Tips are past his eye balls.

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Someone we know went back in there and took that ram after us he was 8 years old but not full curl.

[@Nello353]

Why the music ? You dont need it

[@AlpineCarnivore]

Hey Neil thanks for your input but we enjoy the music 🎶 👍 Hope you still watch anyways Cheers

[@shaneseaford4824]

He was close but I think I would have passed not worth loosing your rights over a small ram

[@AlpineCarnivore]

You got that right man it’s tough to do but definitely not worth making the mistake
