chelan butte access

[wheels]

im pondering  putting in for the disabled tag for there, so i was wondering  what kind of access there is

[Falcon]

Decent with a road on the top and bottom.  Typical of sheep areas it is a fairly steep Mtn on the top end but nothing technical.

i was trying read the description  talks about the Columbia sheep come down to the river ?

[Ridgerunner]

You better be able to hike some, sheep are not found close to any roads.

oh ok that satement  may have just made my choice for me thanks hiking not really an option

There must be some easy access for a disabled person. That's why they are issuing a disabled hunter tag. You should apply for it if you're disabled.

From the proposals:

very try buck list animal  looks like best way to  possibly make it happen

another question water access how near river the sheep will be

[Ridgerunner]

Some years they are close to the river and some years they are high on the hill, just depends.  I think the rougher section is by the river myself.  Make sure you have someone that can help pack out.

[Ridgerunner]

If they open up the access road for the disabled that would help with access too.

[wheels]

thanks i know ill have atleast one person to help packout

Since they are targeting specific animals and there is a hunt coordinator, there might be access that is not normally open, try and check with Rich Harris who is the WDFW bighorn sheep manager or with the local biologist, Dave Volson, they may have more information. Harris was over there earlier this year checking out the sheep on the butte.

oh ok thanks

In speaking with the district bio, rest assured, there will be access for this hunt. The intention for this hunt is for a sportsman to harvest a sheep, so steps will be taken to afford opportunity. This truly will be a once in a life time opportunity for a disabled hunter.
