It really has put a damper on my once in a lifetime sheep hunt I can tell you that.

It really shouldn't put a damper on anything.  There are a number of old trophy rams in there.  You will have plenty to choose from.  99% of us will never have a shot at a large trophy ram like you will.

Having 35 170"+ rams wandering around will do everyone a lot of good the first time a disease outbreak hits this herd.  Trophy potential is nice, but Pope is right.  Maximize your opportunity as much as you can.

Shame on those involved with hunting due to this loophole.   A plan is in the works to modify the rules to allow for additional harvest while maintaining quality in a couple units.  The John Day in Oregon was off the charts 15 years ago, now due to excessive pressure and over harvest, a hunter is lucky to get a 165. 

Shame on WDFW for not doing their diligence with this "old ram" proposal. Pathetic.

So if you had the raffle tag, you wouldn't hunt there as a matter of principal?

Is it ok to hunt the Asotin unit this year even though there was a slaughter in there last year between the hunters, the native hunting and the poaching?

 :yeah:  Sounds like another hunt is not condoned.  :rolleyes:

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I'm with PopeSP on this one.  I saw 42 Rams on Tuesday, 5 were exceptional.  Even though the Gov and Cali Raffle killed Tuesday, you still have the NCentral Raffle who can hunt the Butte.  One draw tag and this ear tag ram, which by the way is a dandy. 

Plenty of quality in there to give everyone a chance at a truly giant Cali and still have quality left for next year when this "loophole" is fixed.

Good luck Gentlemen!

That's not the Gov ram.
You might be right, but the ram in the picture is not the gov tag ram.
