sheep hunt permit?

[thegamejr]

How would you go about getting points for a sheep hunt permit without getting drawn?

[fishngamereaper]

Just put in for it for about 18 years...

Ghost points

[Dan-o]

 

You buy an app and then only apply for ghost points.   You build points with no chance of drawing that year.

[coachcw]

Why ? the chance of ever drawing is so slim that you might aswell try every year inless your going out of the country .

[Bob33]

Apply in Washington.

Yes, ghost point is the official answer.

Really, why would you want to? Odds are so low that sitting out a year make not be the best move.

[thegamejr]

I was wanting to wait cause the tags expensive ha and didn't want to chance getting drawn (hopes high on that one). But still want to gain some points on the mean time. . . Still not 100% sure how the special  permits and points work

[bobcat]

I'd go ahead and put in for the "point option." You've got to start building points, but if you can't go on the hunt this year, you sure don't want to take a chance and end up drawing it. Just think of it as a $15 donation to the WDFW, out of the kindness of your heart.

Sheep is the animal i want most in wa  so i want to be ready and not mess up the whole thing

[huntnphool]

You are not likely to ever draw a tag, so why would you throw away one of the few chances you are ever going to have by not applying? If you draw the tag I guarantee you that you will come up with the money.

[thegamejr]

Yes true coming up with the money if needed definitely wouldn't be a problem. . . Its more so being prepared for the hunt if i were by chance drawn. . . Because Im still new and learning

just get the tag, everything else will work itself out.

[coachcw]

there a few guys on here that would show you nthe ropes i'm sure 

[fishngamereaper]

I vote ghost points....Im tired of people with half the points I have getting drawn for the tag

[thegamejr]

Thank you all. I think i will apply. . . Like huntnphool said the rest could work itself out

[pat2bear]

Agreed. If you drew a sheep tag you will have people coming out of the wood work to offer help and even help scout for you for the chance to go on a sheep hunt.

[coachcw]

He should be called SHEEPPHOOL !

[shootem]

If you don't have time or money to hunt this year go for the ghost point option. The last thing you want is to get the freak draw and not be able to go. Consider putting in for moose and goat  because someday you may want it to happen too. You look young in the picture so if it takes 15 or 20 years to get a tag hopefully you will still be strong and healthy when you draw. There are great people on this sight ready to help a good person on a fabulous hunt. coachcw was unbelievable helping me with my hunt in 2011 and others on a hunt in 2009. Go for it!
