Which sheep unit?
« on: April 26, 2016, 08:37:39 PM »
So with max points, figure I'm guaranteed to draw a permit this year.......... :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Anyhoo, My 1st 3 picks are units that I know well and live by, but never know what to do for the 4th pick.
I'm not getting any younger and have bad knees, I can still hike pretty good, but I'm not a mountain goat anymore  :'(  Also not looking to kill the biggest/badest ram, just an decent mature one.

Of the 3 Yakima area units, Cleman, Selah, and Umtanum....(I know nothing about them)

1. Which one has the most difficult hunting terrain? (access & steepness)
2. Which one is the least difficult?

Posts or PM's are both welcomed
Thanks all. NOCK

If you put in for clemans and draw, you can leave your rig at the bottom and I will drive you to the top :chuckle: :tup:.

It really depends where the sheep are at the day (s) you are hunting for clemans.

Of those three I'd say they're all about the same as far as terrain and difficulty to hunt. Of course I've only hunted sheep in Cleman but I know a little about the other two. Umtanum can require you to cross the river in a raft or small boat. Or you can come in from the other side by driving in but I believe in that case you will need to hike further. I believe Selah could possibly be the most difficult simply because private property makes access more difficult, unless you pay the landowner.

I agree, the terrian is very similar in all of those units, close your eyes, pick one and put in.

Hi bobcat, Do you happen to know what the landowners charge for crossing their properties in the Selah?

No, I don't. At one time I was told but I can't remember. But it was quite high. I'm thinking well over $1000. But I'm sure someone on here will know the answer to that.

My dad drew selah in 2009 and paid the guy $500. I have also heard it has jumped way up since then.

I'd do clemans with bad knees... Clemons is great because you can have an awesome hardcore sheep hunt in some ridiculous terrain or you can shoot one from the highway.  I drive by the Clemons sheep every day heading towards town... I promise you, if you are a decent shot, with that long season you would not go without a ram if drawn, even with bad knees.
