WA Bighorn Sheep Tag
« on: April 15, 2010, 11:13:16 PM »
If a guy was going to start putting in for a WA sheep tag and wanted the most remote backpack hunt he could get where there might still be a place a big ram could hide...which hunt should that person put in for?

Wrong State
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Not really a backpack hunt, even if you were to draw.

Definately the wrong state for a backpack hunt for sheep.

Try Area 4 in WY  ;).  I killed my ram 9 air miles into the wilderness.  Two days before the season, I watched an old stud ram close enough I could count all 14 annular rings through the spotting scope, and was reasonably sure he had 38" horn length and a 42" maximum spread.  Only about 14" bases, but ...
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I would take just about any tag in this state, unfortunately I think I have a better chance of drawing MT sheep.

My only experience is Umtannum and 2 to 3 miles is all the farther you can get from a road.
good luck to all on the draws this year.

Glad you started this tread. I've been buying points and will probably be for a while with this draw system, but I considered putting in for teiton. I don't hear much talk about it but that could be good or bad. However, if I could win the lotto with a raffle tag, I would probably do more homework of that area. I haven't seen the area yet, but the map says it's rough.

Sun river herd in montana give you good options on hunting style. for me two miles with a ram on my pack is plenty .
