2015
SHEEP ANY RAM
Application Type: Individual
Point used: 16
SELECTED - MANSON
Now what? This is somewhat unfamiliar territory.... I guess I have to get my mainland boat trailer fixed and back to the mainland. I'm so excited, now I definitely need to get my bow out and start shooting, of course the rifle will be along as well.
:brew:

Do you have a boat?
Do I have a boat? :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Thanks Vandeman, nice offer. Hopefully I can get some other connections through someone I know that used to live up in Stehekin.

I know a few people that live in Stehekin as well. They are actually outfitters and I could put you in contact with them if you have access questions.

This is something that I would never have guessed would happen, not in this lifetime anyways. Might have to do at least one scouting trip during bear season. ;)

There is a little yellow helecopter in Manson that will take you for a scouting ride.
That could be fun.
It has been at least 16 years since I've been up to Chelan. Can I shoot 1100 yards from my boat off the gyroscopic bow mount? :chuckle:

Does anyone know what the weather is generally like up there in November?
Let's see, I'll need a water boy, gun carrier, pack toter, trophy evaluator... better start the lottery now. Oh wait, maybe I should just call Hirshey.... Except she would surely run me into the ground. :chuckle:
Post by: NWBREW on June 13, 2015, 08:45:17 AM
I'd help but I will be chasing moose. I too would ask for Hirsheys help but I don't want her to make fun and laugh at me. :chuckle:

PM me a contact number for you...not only is that my hometown (we can spot sheep from my dads front lawn) but my dad has helped 3 sheep hunters fill their tag in the Manson Unit...google the 12 year old kid that killed a sheep in Manson last year...it wad blogged at Northwest Sportsman Magazine and you will read about my dad...I "might" know who wrote the blog.

Elk 247, I started to include camp chef but then realized that might imply that I can't cook... can you imagine the meals I can come up with when I have someone carrying a pantry pack for me, no Mountain House here.... :chuckle: :chuckle:

Don't forget to pack the bearings on your trailer. :chuckle:
and I volunteer for the pack mule position.

Except this is probably the only thing that would keep you from coming down for Elk with me this Sept.. :'(

I'm still planning on the elk hunt with you, I hear you need backup for that stick you use... :chuckle: plus, there's a lot more meat on an elk.
I believe that if you shot your sheep with a Savora Titanium and a Crossbow you could accomplish two things never done before. First to kill a Bighorn with a Titanium Savora and the first to legally shoot a Washington Bighorn with a crossbow. Could be a fun story to tell the grandkids some day :dunno:
I actually thought about the X-bow Rad, but if I am close enough for that, I can probably use my regular bow. Hmmm, Boss 300 can probably carry my crossbow and my rifle as well as a bunch of food with his new fancy pack. :chuckle:

Oh yeah, I've got a younger neighbor who is willing to help me get in shape with some aerobic work as well as stretching, something I've been needing to do for a while anyways. :tup:
How good looking is she? Could be just the motivation a man needs to get off the couch and take an aerobics class!
...With Weathergirl's supervision of course.

Rad, unfortunately for my eyes, it's not a she... now if Hirshey wants to come be my trainer, I'll feed her all the shrimp and lingcod she can eat. :chuckle: ** Hopefully, the aforementioned Hirshey understands this is in fun and I have an immense amount of respect for her abilities.

Just wait till He is thirsty and you do any stretching or sweating. O know that picture is 9 years old :o
:dunno:
I noticed it was from 2006, just asking about judging these as a generic group of sheep.

Definitely plan on putting some time in the boat but beware the winds will blow and white caps will follow.
Like November to March on the Sound? Without a swell from the Straits.... :o Although I hear there can be a pretty good swell there as well.

That's good to hear, :tup: I was looking forward to having someone who was not afraid of a few bushes to hunt with again!
Congrats again on the draw!!
Post by: DOUBLELUNG on June 19, 2015, 01:38:49 PM
Nice draw Loki. :tup: I have no desire to climb the mountain looking for sheep, but I could boat sit down on the beach and have coffee ready when you get back. :chuckle:If genuine, that is a great offer. A boat operator/handler is REALLY nice for a Manson sheep hunt.

I agree. If you get to help out and then lucky enough to draw next year...it's like you cheat the system and participate in 2 "Once in a lifetime" hunts :chuckle:
At least that's what I tell my hunting buddies. :chuckle: :chuckle:
Remind them of that when they have 100 pounds of moose on their back... for the third trip..... :yike: :chuckle: :chuckle:
