I've never applied for any of the OIL tags. If the rules changed a little to increase draw odds some I'd probably consider it.

I would love to hunt all three but moose is number one. I’d love to follow in my grandfather’s footprints and get a Washington mountain goat and I’d love to get a bighorn (more iconic than moose imo) but the size of the animal and the amount of some of the best meat I’ve ever eaten in my life, it takes number one.

My interpretation of the rules are open to interpretation.
Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.

Since I’ve already pulled a moose tag, I think sheep would be next for me.

Is this predicated on being drawn?  :chuckle:

Moose, for sure.  Prolly the big boy whose sheds I've been picking up.

All of these above are great pics!

My choice would be a Chama Non-Typ monster Bull elk.

Or a Sesquatchuan Mulie with double droppers  :hello:

Since I already filled my OIL Goat tag, Moose is my choice, has been all a long. Sheep would be cool, but I am not laying down the money like I would for a Moose hunt.  :twocents:

Mountain goat it’s the only true OIL out there that will put you to the test in Washington.

Sheep .. mainly because it's the only one of the three I can't afford to do outside of a draw...
