Drew a 2014 Quilomene Ram Sheep tag

[Built4Outdoors]

Looking for any help, advice, knowledge of the area! Super excited about getting this tag!! 

[Mfowl]

I've heard some people would access the area by boat but with the condition of the river I don't know if that will be possible this year. Probably worth looking in to in a hurry!

[Falcon]

Congrats on that tag.
Have never hunted that area for sheep but a few members have
I am pretty sure you will get some help.
I would call Jeff Berkatowits, no sure on the spelling.
He is the region area bio and will be of some assistance.


Best of luck on your hunt for a nice ram!

Just some quick googling... Boat access isn't looking good- Effective Monday, April 28, Wanapum State Park will be closed due to a fracture in the structure of Wanapum Dam. Grant County Public Utility District has closed all beaches and water access in the area above the dam, which includes Wanapum State Park, to protect sensitive cultural resources and help to ensure public safety. Because water access is integral to the park and a primary focus for visitors, all access to Wanapum State Park will be closed until further notice.

LOL, You probably don't want the answer to that question!! Almost hate to admit I only had 7 points... Feeling very very lucky!

Enjoy the whole experience sheep hunting is a rare opportunity only a few lucky ones get.

There are sheep there!!!

You will not be able to access West Bar and the like via boat most likely due to the draw down.

Also the Tarpiscan road is washed out just past the game house on the bench.  Only cuts off about 2 miles worth of road though before the road is closed.

You can find sheep anywhere from the WDFW  Colockum boat launch down along the river.  Ran into quite a few right by the game house.

Should be a fun tagm I love that area.  Good luck!

Good luck. No boating on the river and sheep numbers are down.

Cross your fingers that Wanapum gets a quick fix, or it might be a lot tougher this year.

Know of a beautiful chocolate ram, been watching him for years,send me a pm I will give you some tips and areas to hunt, spend 2 out of the 3 months of summer break I get from school in there,know the area very very well

[coldsteel3d]

Hopefully that new bow of yours will shoot better on this hunt than your old bow shot on your Entiat hunt! Or maybe I'll have to tag along so you can kill something!

Awesome offer....

[Brad Harshman]

This is either the worst year or the best year to draw this tag.  Wanapum reservoir is closed.  Last news release stated October as the earliest it will open up but that  isn't a guarantee.  I've watched the sheep year-round for the last ten years on the river.  I know where they hang.  But i don't know how to access it via pickup.  If I We're you I'd pay attention to the closure and cross your fingers it opens sooner than later.  Send me your email.  I'll pass along what i know (maps). The challenge will be getting to them through the green dot road system.

Congrats on the tag. Looks like you have a lot of good leads. People on the site will help you. Some are even crazy enough to help you haul em out. Don't forget the pics.

Thanks everyone! This is why I love this forum! I have PM's out to a few of you and I'm trying to get in contact with everyone else. Feel free to contact me if I missed you. I really want to touch base with everyone. I'm aiming for a July 12th Scouting trip if anyone finds themselves available to cruise some roads. I'll likely take my big wheel unless you advise against it.

Thanks!
