Yeah sorry about that.. I might be drinking hard cider in celebration.. The hazards of being a lightweight!!
-
Congrats Kari!!! Awesome draw can't wait to hear the story!
-
My middle son drew GOAT Mt. Washington B
It's new hunt on the East side of the Olympic Peninsula. I have no idea where to ifnd goats there, but I'm going to get to work on it.
-
Right on Hirshey cant wait to read about it.
My wife drew Huckleberry any moose and we both drew Margret bull elk tags (mine is archery hers is rifle). Busy fall with a Nevada antelope tag for me in August!

I think I may have to "friend" Bobcat!!!

lonedave, congratulations! I'll see you up there. Man, I've only been applying for permits since about 1992. You deserved that one!
-
Congrats all. Can't wait to read about the adventure.

I'm a little disappointed you didn't text me the news Scree! Wheres the love buddy? You are going to be one busy boy this fall! Congrats!
-
I drew a Umtanum ram tag as my third choice with 18 points... It is not the best sheep unit but hey I will be hunting sheep!! Feeling very fortunate. Wish I was going to be around to scout this summer but I will be in Alaska until Sept 5th. That gives me ten days of scouting and almost a month of hunting! Man, am I excited.
-
Congrats Groundhog! Clemens is a fun sheep tag to have. You'll have a great time.
-
I almost s-t my pants when I found out late last night that I drew the Chelan Butte sheep tag. And to sweeten the pot a cow tag in the clockum. They draw antelope tags in WY in a half hour, maybe a buck tag is headed my way.
I got half in the bag last night and feel like S this morning and I'm totally useless at work today. :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
:rockin:
-
Bob that is a great tag, I had the tag last year and i also had a cow tag too, kinda fun. Take a look at the post Ram down from last year and you will see my ram, I also seen one with larger horn than mine too. Green mine scored 180" I will be doing a little scouting up there just because it hooked me last year.
Good luck

Congrats hirshey. I know you'll have a great write-up. Can't wait to see it. Some words of advice: BE PATIENT! One pull of the trigger and the hunt is over. I hunted six days and shot a B&C bull, but it still feels like it went by too fast, especially after applying for 33 years. Good luck!
-
Thanks! I will revel in the adventure, for certain. :) I hope my employer will still tolerate me, seeing as it looks like I'll be needing all of October and November off. :chuckle:

I didn't receive any love from WDFW but my we checked today on Father's Day and my old man got drawn for goat in Chowder Ridge. His first OIL Washington permit. Happy Father's Day!
-
Congrats to all the OIL permit winners, make the most of your hunts, odds are you will never get one again.
-
What are the odds of drawing all three
-
My son drew big horn sheep and cow moose
Congrats to your boy Erick!
I didn't know you were on here.
Which moose area?
-
Hello there time2hunt :hello: I drew all 3 and others have 2of the 3 check out moose sheep and mt. goat on this other big game section. there might be other folks that drew all 3. :tup:
-
I just want to throw out there to the I have drawn all three OIL tags guys, it's just a little frustrating for those of us who have been putting in for 31 years and can't even draw one tag much less three. To listen to that talk I know you don't mean anything by it but it's a little hard to swallow. Just food for thought. :(
-
I'd be pumped if someone I knew could draw one of these tags. At least I'd get to tag along.

time2hunt drew his 3rd tag this year! Congrats and good luck on your goat hunt Brian!
-
I'm not one of those guys :), but I have managed to draw and harvest goats in 1972, 1984, and 1996 (the year before they became OIL). The billy in 1972 was my first head of big game and my first permit attempt. I'm hoping to add my Clemans OIL ram to the list (and wall) this year! I can see how guys would get a bit ticked off at those who have gotten lucky with permits, but for goats at least, they used to give out way more tags. Around the 1980 timeframe, they gave out over 1000 tags in the state, so it wasn't as difficult to draw. By 1996, I think it had gone down to less than 200.
-
I got Lincoln Peak goat :tup: anyone know who drew this last year?
-
Asotin Sheep Tag in our family. Very excited to say the least. 16 points used.
-
I'm sure I am missing several tag holders, let me know who you are so I can get you added to the list of lucky tag holders.

Thank you much. We were a little confused because the initial regs included unit 174 and 175, now there is a correction stating 175 only. I am not complaining as we will have a great hunt anyway, but the unit shrank after we drew the tag.
-
That is odd, I would call wdfw for an explanation. But I'm sure like you said it's still gonna be an amazing hunt.

I Drew Umtanum with 16 points. Friend called to rub it in that he drew a Whitetail tag , asked if I drew ,I said I was in the middle of building a deck on the house. He said he was on the computer an he would look it up for me. I couldn't contain myself, deck work was done for the day. Anyone have info for this unit it would be appreciated, at 61 need all the help I can get. sill in reasonable shape just a few disc removed.

Hunt-N-skier, welcome to the site, why the quote though? :dunno:

I couldn't figure out what the purpose of that was either.
On another note, has anyone received info in the mail yet from the WDFW?

Haven't Been on here for a while but here he is! 2014 Quilomene Ram. Spent most of the season out there glassing till our eyes fell out. Made new friends on the far side of the closed river which ended up being critical on this hunt. He's not the biggest ever shot but it was the hardest hunt I've been on and I'd love to be able to do it all again tomorrow!
This particular day we were on a few Rams near the river, glassing and waiting, one of our sets of eyes on the other side of the river called and said get up north we have a good ram in our sights. 1 hour uncomfortably fast motorcycle ride up the hill to camp and 3 hours of riding the worst roads known to man, we got there. And we see nothing. As we start hiking hills and cliff face we find them hiding on a grassy hillside. I have this ram in my sights at 136yrds 53deg down hill. Just a little to far for my bow. Due to the lateness of the day, the position of the Sheep, and the long brutal dark ride back I elected to switch to my rifle. So I took aim, held 10 inches low due to the crazy angle and took my shot. He stood up as if nothing hit him. I shot again and got a tiny limp from him. My spotter says, he's going over the cliff... :bash: We hurry down the hill, rush to the cliff edge where we last saw him and nothing. Shear drop off. My spotter (Brother) says turn around. 20yards behind us there he lies just over a large rock. We had run right by him! :chuckle:
Like I said not the biggest by far but it was one heck of a hunt and he was the largest I saw in all that time.
My very rough score estimate came out at 150 7/8
-
Congrats. He's great
-
:tup:
-
Great looking ram! What's going on with his nose? Is that sinusitis or just from getting bashed in the face over the years?
-
Nice Ram. It sounds like you had a great hunt! Congrats!!
-
Not sure what was up with his nose... looked like scar tissue when caping him. He was fighting the entire morning before I shot him.
