YETI’s ‘Wild Sheep’ Book Promotes Conservation and Offers a Once in a Lifetime Sheep Hunt Opportunity

If somebody asked you today, ‘what is your ultimate dream hunt?’ do you have an answer prepared? For me, personally, it would definitely be a Dall sheep hunt.

Why?

I think the thing that attracts me to this hunt the most, are the sheer challenges involved and the personal obstacles I would have to overcome if I wanted to be successful.

Think about where these animals call home. It’s some of the harshest, most remote and unforgiving country you can possibly find, yet breathtaking and unquestionably rewarding to those who conquer it. And at least in my book, ‘conquering’ means a lot more than just walking off the mountain with a trophy on your back.

To me, the real trophy is in the experience of the hunt itself and being able to look back and say, ‘I did that.’ Perhaps you’re a little weary about heights or have never been on a backpack hunt for 7-10 days with limited access to the outside world. If you go on a sheep hunt, you will be put through some of the most adventurous mountain experiences humans can be involved with and leave with an unimaginable feeling of accomplishment when it’s over. Of course, packing out a big ram would certainly add a little extra to the trip, as well.

So where am I going with this?

Well, as an ode to these awesome animals and the wild places they live, YETI has partnered with the Wild Sheep Foundation to produce “WILD SHEEP.”

Following the success of YETI’s Tarpon book last year, YETI has now released a coffee table book that speaks to wild sheep hunting, and also makes a great gift for the adventurous hunter in your family.

The book includes several amazing photographs and stories from sheep hunts with folks like Adam Foss, Al Klassen, Larry Johnson, Anna Vorisek, Roxanne and Tim Shinabarger, and others who have had their share of experiences sheep hunting. Former UFC fighter, Chad Mendes, even makes an appearance in the book, too.

There are two separate offerings of “WILD SHEEP” to select from, the first of which is priced at $99.99 and is available on YETI.com

The second is a limited edition copy that comes with a seemingly steep price tag, but a very enticing opportunity. For $350, those who purchase the limited-edition book get a special hardbound copy AND a 1/250 chance at a sheep hunt in the Yukon.

All purchases made at wildsheepfoundation.org enter you for a chance to win either a Dall or Fannin sheep hunt guided by Midnight Sun Outfitting and photographed by Adam Foss. The winner of the Hunt Giveaway will be announced during the virtual 2021 Sheep Show which will take place from January 11th-16th, 2021.

All proceeds from the limited-edition book benefit the Wild Sheep Foundation.
