There is plenty of good information on this site about sheep hunting in that area. Elkstuffer is a great resource worth listening to. I would give lots of thought on any advice he has to give and pick has brain till there is nothing left to give. You should have a great hunt. When you are done he is good as it gets on mounting the trophy. He did an incredible job on my Clemens Mountain ram from a couple of years ago.

Just wanna give Ric a big thanks for taking time out of your day Friday to share your info and knowledge of sheep and the unitwith Mel and I.   I think it was good to size up the unit and get a refresher on the lay of the land.  Now it's time for the old man to get in sheep shape.  Thanks again, Nathan

Hey Nathan, No worries! It was great to meet you and your uncle Mel and talk hunting. I just really like to see the OIL tag holder be successful, especially for sheep. They are a truly fascinating and majestic animal and I may never get an opportunity to hunt one. So anything that I can do to help I will. Hopefully we"ll get together again before or during the big hunt.

Well said shootem.  I was very impressed with Ric's taxidermy work as well.  Not my tag, but my Ucles' as well as Shane Vg's and Alec Vg's (opposite sides of the family)  I would imagine he will certainly want to hook up with you as the season approaches Ric.  Not real sure if he wants to try things more on his own or what????  I am happy to go if the opportunity arises.  I think lots of eyes in the field are good, but lots of voices chiming in on the shooter at crunch time can be a bad nightmare...

Like others have said, the river is probably the best access to find the big boys in the canyon. You can drop into the canyon off of Durr Road, but be prepared to hike. I have seen some nice rams in there during deer season. Make sure to also check out Umtanum Falls, which is an easy hike from the trail head. Ive seen a few nice rams in there as well. Good luck and keep us posted. :tup:
