1 other thing a buddy of mine had the hunt a few years back before I knew him, they did a 12 day float hunt and saw 1 sheep hunting from the river up, I guess 1 kid had filled a tag 12 miles in from the river that year. If you guys decide to float I know you have to secure trip permits in advance, but I believe you get an exemption to the lottery system you normally have to go through to float the middle fork
That's news to me. Thanks! I'll let him no and start looking into that. :tup:

No experience with this hunt, I don't even apply for it but from what I have heard be prepared for the 2nd toughest sheep hunt in the lower 48 right behind Montana's unlimited hunts.
:yeah:

The rafting permits aren't required that late in the year, not many people are on the river that late. There are a couple of outfitters that may or may not help with info, One at Loon and one at Pistol creek. There is a reason that 27 is the easiest sheep tag to drew in the lower 48. Get a call into the air services in the area also.

Mr. Frank Church can teach you everything you need to know about sheep hunting.

Use G & S Aviation out of Cascade into either Indian Creek or Thomas Creek, hike the 3 miles to Marble Creek (its halfway between the two airstrips) then hike up to the old Mitchell Ranch (just a two acre flat now) about 2 miles up the creek, and hunt up Spring Creek to the top of Pongo (some maps show it as Pungo) Mountain...there is a good spring right at the top of the mountain where the sheep hang out...
