Commonly, during the later part of the season, rams descend to lower elevations due to snow at high levels. To reduce the chance of seeing other hunters, plan your trip during late August or mid-September. Because the TMA is a drawing hunt, the hunting pressure is not high enough to drastically alter ram distribution or behavior. There is plenty of country and enough rams to meet the needs of every permitted hunter. Drainages accessible from the Alaska and Glenn Highways lead to excellent sheep country and can be successfully used as trails.
Some creeks are more difficult than others due to brush or distance.
Yerrick and Clearwater Creeks are probably the most difficult but offer more diversity of hunting area due to their length. Large rocks in most of the creek bottoms prevent 4-wheelers or larger ATVs from being efficient modes of transportation. The Tok River country can be accessed by driving a 4-wheel drive truck or ATV along the riverbed. This is an efficient way to access a lot of sheep country. All the drainages leading into the Tok River support sheep along their upper reaches.
