pathfinder you got it now to much $ for the fence and hard to maintain the bision. no deer have to have special expensive permits and more $ for fence i am looking at animals that are smaller.

the animals that i am looking at are billy goats, painted desert rams, Texas dahl sheep, muflon, black hawaiian, Jacobs sheep, etc most like the rams that you would hunt in Texas. these are all considered livestock breeds and not classified under exotic for this state.

Those are fun animals to hunt, but I wouldn't be willing to do it on a chunk of land only 200 acres in size.  For me the size of the property matters more than whether it is fenced or not.

   Id do it if you had a bigger area.  clover creek ranch, down in oregon, has all of those same breeds of goats your talking about having, as well as a few other animals (pigs, bison), and sits on 2200 acres.  ive been down there before, and had a great time.  good off-season, fill your freezer type of hunt.  as said before, the area was big enough to where you didnt feel like you were shooting fish in a barrell.

i would love to have a bigger one but i am looking at 5500.00 for 200 acres and that me building it so 5500*11=60500.00 and i don't have that kind of money. rudy do you have there web site or phone number i would love to look at there operation.

[carpsniperg2]

i found it wow that is some $ most of my aninals would sell for half of that is what i was thinking or at least 33% less.

[carpsniperg2]

100.00 if you are successful on top of that and 100.00 for skinning after dark 100.00 100.00 for skinning large game wow that could get spendy fast. and also the cost of staying there 25.00 a night i would have none of these fees it would be all figured in and i don't know if that includes meals even.

[Rudy]

ya i went down there last year and dropped 400 on a pig, 50 for the two nights we stayed, braught our own food.

If you can do it cheaper, and closer, I just may have to bring my business to your place 

[carpsniperg2]

yeah i am sure i could beat there prices. there painted rams are 900.00 mine would be around 600-650 my jacobs would be 500-550 were theres are 800.00 so i am sure i could be cheaper on my prices and i could do pigs just not wild boars oregon and washington can not have them anymore but i am sure i could pick up some good pigs to put in there as well.

[the1rod]

man it sounds like you really gettin into this, if it works out save me a job, i would be happy to work for you at a place like that.

[carpsniperg2]

yep tryin to, i am going down the 26th of march to pick out 2 ewes and 1 ram to start thats all they can sell they are like one of the only painted sheep breeders in wa and or have to go to cali and tex to get more lol they will be lambing in april and i plan to pick some out of there new batch as well but if i don't end up doing the hunting i will just lamb them out and sell them as meat or 4-h or somthing but i think in the next year i should be up and running if i do this.

[the1rod]

well shoot thats awsom. likd i said before i would love to help, even if you jsut need someone to go with you to get animals.

[carpsniperg2]

will keep you in mind if i need a extra set of hands. you aint to far away. only about 4 hrs

Mouflon sheep=a wild sheep, Ovis musimon, inhabiting the mountainous regions of Sardinia and Corsica, the male of which has large curving horns. They have these on the Big Island of Hawaii. Nice looking critter

[carpsniperg2]

the painted deserts that i am getting into first are a breed  developed from cross breeding  with the mouflon and you are right they are a cool sheep for sure and part  of the reason why i like the painted deserts so much. you can raise them as livestock as well there is a few breeders in wa and or that have them.

Make sure if you are getting ANY animals from out of state you get the proper paperwork form the Dept. of Agriculture. They have recently changed and allegedly plan on enforcing the rules with importing any animal/livestock in Washington (mad cow deal)  . I got a multi-page letter from them and all I deal with is birds. It could get real expensive if you do not have everything approved ahead of time . Good luck.
