THE PEAK: An Alaskan Dall Sheep Hunt | Full Film

Unforgiving terrain, high altitude, and one shot to get it done. One wrong decision means you come home empty handed, and one wrong step means you aren’t coming home.
Trek alongside HuntWise ambassador, Joe Griffin, as he goes to the edge of the world-up to The Peak-in pursuit of Alaskan Dall sheep.
Nothing was given on this hunt. Everything was earned.
Dall sheep are the northernmost wild sheep in the world, spending most of their lives on the jagged slopes of mountains. Their horns take up to 8 years to grow and are composed of keratin, the same material as our fingernails.
In the hunting world, Dall sheep are known as the most majestic mountain animals on this planet. To embark on a sheep hunt is one of the most remote, backpack-style hunts a person can do. At times, you are truly a prisoner to the mountains. It's a test of the body and mind like no other.
One of the biggest challenges hunters face is sheep's keen eyesight, which has adapted to the harsh, open terrain in which they reside.

There is a difference between killing a ram & hunting a ram, he got to hunt a ram. Earning that mountain monarch makes him all that more special. Congrats

[@ed28035]

“We were stiff, we were hungry, we were dehydrated, and that’s the way it should be”…. I love it!! Excellent job all around, great video and a great ram! Congrats!!

[@HuntWise]

Thanks Ed! It was an experience of a lifetime for sure!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelrhoades8418]

The emotion at 22:30 is the best feeling in the world and considering that it is on video will be something you will be able to relive including the goose bumps and tears for the rest of your days! A close second to that emotion is the brother hug between you and your guide . I know I would have never had that opportunity without mine! Thank you for sharing!!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Phenomenal work Joe & Crew! That was awesome!

[@HuntWise]

We agree! Quite the hunt and what a ram!

Awesome hunt, great footage, great editing, killer scenery, and a superb ram! Killer job to the three of you on each of your parts!

[@HuntWise]

Glad you enjoyed it - the guys worked hard and absolutely knocked this out of the park! 💪

[@danlloyd5135]

Jon is a hell of a guy! Stoked for you! Dude bakes and cooks like no other hopefully you got to enjoy some of that too 😂

[@fosgatenut03]

Let’s freakin go!! Well done!! I can’t imagine the GB of footage, and how tough it was to make it into the length it is. Let alone, trimming for a 30 minute tv show. One of the KZbin perks is length capability! Well done to the HuntWise crew, WTA, and Joe for the long nights of training up and down dunes and ski resort! You were rewarded for the hard work. Can’t wait to see what is next. Africa?!

[@HuntWise]

Glad you enjoyed it. No sneak peeks right now - but this won't be the last of the crew in the wild 👊

[@joshcrandle5374]

John is exactly what you want out of a guide! Great work !

[@HuntWise]

One of a kind that’s for sure 👊

[@ghgkh4995]

Love your style of storytelling, really takes you to the moment

I just got my first NWT sheep. Totally connecting with your hunt. Fantastic video and story. Thank you for posting!

[@matthewmyers3249]

Beautifully done. Shows a lot of class with respect to the ram as well in the way the shot was (wasn't) filmed. The way it should be. Congratulations.

What a hunt! Goals, for sure. The terrain looks fairly insane.

[@HuntWise]

Steep and Sheep!

[@gilream]

Congratulations on a great sheep hunt video. I do not think anyone could ever top the great Billy Molls for Alaska sheep hunting, but with your modern camera and a dedicated camera man this one was great. Just a fantastic video.

[@HuntWise]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome footage! Thanks for sharing it!

Cool video! Good work!

[@stephankarl3032]

Superb Ram! Superb video! You both did a great job! I have been hunting in Germany since the age of 18 (for 20 years) and look forwards hopefully making it to incredible Alaska in 2024 when I turn 40…! Live-long dreams turning into reality!

[@HuntWise]

That’s incredible! We wish you the best as you look to head to Alaska!

[@FishandHunt]

Great hunt and video. Put a New Zealand Tahr hunt on your to do list.

[@sycamoreandsalt]

What an incredible hunting story and perfectly edited film. Everything from the grind to the kill, back to the grind and finally the meat with brews. LOVE THE SHIRT! hope your teeth survived the candy haha

[@HuntWise]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Wolf Tee was 🔑!

Digging your content nice work

[@HuntWise]

Appreciate that! More to come!

[@matthew8031]

Awesome video! Great quality and nice ram! Curious, what gun were you using couldn't quite make it out?

[@HuntWise]

Cadex R7

[@gilream]

How about some information on the rifle. caliber? weight? make or custom? Thanks

[@lifesizeanimaltargets]

This episode is killer! You look like Casey from Yellowstone a little bit

[@andrewmacaulay1585]

Congratulations…well earned. What were you shooting for a weapon there? Kind regards New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦

[@pacificdrifter]

What waders were you guys running? Wiggy?

[@joec33]

GREAT HUNT ! Way to go, congrats ! what caliber rifle did you use ? I’m going next year and I could bring 300 RUM or 6.5. I can shoot both very well and the 6.5 is a lighter rig …..

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

for Sheep would go with the lighter 6.5. They are not massive or super tough animals and u will appreciate the weight savings

[@Andrew-oj7kd]

Good video, keep it up. Just something I noticed, if you’re going to put text in the video maybe think about putting it to the side or bottom of the screen. Having it centre screen is quite distracting and takes away from the film

[@adamgibbs7738]

I appreciate that you didn’t show the kill shot. I love hunting videos and I love to hunt, but I have never enjoyed watching the impact shot. I like it more how you guys didn’t show that. Well done.

[@HuntWise]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lukedecker9725]

I know Joe he's a hard-core as it gets

[@Bus5]

What Sitka pants is he wearing in this??

[@zachg6456]

Good to see Wyatt Langmore picked up hunting after the final season of Ozark.

[@HuntWise]

Haven’t heard this one before! 😂

[@zakstoddard]

450 yard shot is impressive

[@ghnewman11]

Would you guys ever take a guy whose never hunted on one of these trips

[@jackiekleynhans6335]

Nicewooooooo

[@frankconour2231]

What pack is he wearing

[@HuntWise]

Kifaru Dall

[@williamrickmond9673]

Great filming, hunt, shot and guide. Absolutely depressing and boring narration though.

[@barbarocolmoschin2875]

So many talks for a so little action.. Disappointing
