Arcadia Outfitting

Hilarious ram to put in the jig. His pancake mass on the back of his skull did not allow for proper placement in the traditional sense, so we did our best holding him in place for the required photos etc. At 12 years of age, he is clearly legal regardless of his length, but this is a necessary step for all sheep harvested in British Columbia. It was great to see Biologists @walker_ventures and Craig attempt to put him in the jig anyways and see their faces upon examination of Quasimodo’s unique horn structure. - - #arcadia #arcadiaoutfitting #huntarcadia #guidelife #outfitterlife #hunting #mountainhunting #sheephunting #stonesheep #wildsheepfoundation #wildsheep #wsf #wildsheepsocietyofbc #wssbc #fullcurl #agematters #huntbc #hunthard #nontypical #countingrings

Early morning pack off the mountain. When you shoot a ram at nightfall, and are over 6 miles from camp down questionable terrain, sometimes it’s safer to just hunker down and wait for daybreak. That’s exactly what @jesse_wuerch and I did after caping out my ram. We put on every warm layer we had, with some solid rain gear on top and tried to get comfy up on the mountain side. Luck was with us. When dawn broke, the surrounding peaks were dusted in snow, but we were fortunate ...enough to only feel the odd sprinkle at our location. Regardless, not a comfy nap. BUT... one in which the mind could finally rest at ease knowing the goal was complete. Ram down! Besides, who doesn’t love a solid 4am hike off the mountain with a sheep on your back?! - - #arcadia #arcadiaoutfitting #huntarcadia #guidelife #outfitterlife #hunthard #whoweare #kryptek #kryptekcamo #kryptekoutdoorgroup #kryptekaltitude #sunrise #backpackhunting #sheephunting #wildsheepfoundation #wildsheep #wsf #wssbc #wildsheepsocietyofbc #mountainhunting #gofartherstaylonger @benstourac See more

Here’s a Live Photo of Quasimodo before the harvest. As a sheep guide, here are my first thoughts upon seeing this ram.... 1) Woah! One heavy long horn and one wonky stunted horn. Cool! 2) Big pot belly... 3) Sway backed 4) Old grizzled face... All these together help me deduce quickly that this ram is worth taking a closer look at to judge his age more accurately, as well as his size and condition etc. Being able to judge an animal quickly helps you to rule out other animals so your precious time on the mountain is not squandered. Especially when you have fading light! #arcadia #arcadiaoutfitting #huntarcadia #hunthard #whoweare #guidelife #outfitterlife #bigram #oldram #sheephunting #sheephunter #backpackhunting #stonesheep #huntbc #agematters #wildsheepfoundation #wildsheep #wsf #wssbc #wildsheepsocietyofbc #quasimodo #countingrings @jesse_wuerch See more

Well after two weeks spent in Northern BC, my good friend Jesse and I came out double heavy. Jesse connected on a beautiful heavy character ram the first day upon arriving in the area we were to hunt. (It took a brutal four days of swamp and mountain passes to get there!). This was Jesse’s first sheep hunt, and I’d say it worked out well for him. It’s certainly one he will forget - - #arcadia #arcadiaoutfitting #huntarcadia #guidelife #whoweare #hunthard #sheephunting #stonesheep #stonesheephunting #northernbc #huntbc #huntingisconservation #backpackhunting #heavypacks #sheephunting #wildsheep #wildsheepfoundation #wildsheepsocietyofbc #wssbc #bighornsheep #bighorn #californiabighorn #biggamehunting #hunting #mountainhunting #grandslam #dallsheep #dallsheephunting #firstram #lessthanoneclub #kickedout @migeenajade

Sheep season is right around the corner folks. Good luck to everyone getting out there. Hunt hard and shoot straight. Can’t wait to see some photos on the flip side. I am heading out with a good buddy for two weeks starting tomorrow. It will be my first sheep hunt for myself... ever. Let’s see how she goes! - - #arcadia #arcadiaoutfitting #huntarcadia #guidelife #goodshot #shotplacement #sheephunting #wildsheep #wildsheepfoundation #wildsheepsocietyofbc #wssbc #bigsheep #bighornsheep #bighorn #californiabighorn #biggamehunting #hunting #mountainhunting #huntbc #grandslam #stonesheep #stonesheephunting #northernbc #kryptek #kryptekcamo #kryptekoutdoorgroup #proofresearch #letsdothis #lessthanoneclub

A little #weatherwednesday to that time last August when we were swimming in 3.5 feet of snow and shooting velvet bulls. - - #arcadia #arcadiaoutfitting #huntarcadia #guidelife #nwt #arcticredriveroutfitters #hunthard #whatevertheweather #velvetbulls #caribou #caribouhunting #recordbook #bigbulls #bbd #doubleheader
