Anyhoo, My 1st 3 picks are units that I know well and live by, but never know what to do for the 4th pick.
I'm not getting any younger and have bad knees, I can still hike pretty good, but I'm not a mountain goat anymore :'( Also not looking to kill the biggest/badest ram, just an decent mature one.
Of the 3 Yakima area units, Cleman, Selah, and Umtanum....(I know nothing about them)
1. Which one has the most difficult hunting terrain? (access & steepness)
2. Which one is the least difficult?
Posts or PM's are both welcomed
Thanks all. NOCK

It really depends where the sheep are at the day (s) you are hunting for clemans.

No, I don't. At one time I was told but I can't remember. But it was quite high. I'm thinking well over $1000. But I'm sure someone on here will know the answer to that.
My dad drew selah in 2009 and paid the guy $500. I have also heard it has jumped way up since then.

Hey Killmore...it does happen. I drew sheep in 2014 and moose last year. I did have max points for both though and I'm hoping to finish up with goat this year...Keep after it!

Hey Chris (nock nock). I'm surprised you don't have the Quilomene on your short list. You can make this hunt into whatever you want. Lots of places to drop off the roads above and hike down into the cliffs or if your not physically able to do that, the sheep are very acessable from the river after a short boat ride from Crescent Bar. The quality of Rams is definitely not on par with Manson or Swakane but when I drew there were 4 tags available so the odds were way higher of just getting a tag.
Hey Jerry, Quilomene is always in the top 3 :tup: Are you putting in for the antlerless permits now. :chuckle: Did you see they changed the wording? :tup: :tup: :IBCOOL:

Reaper,
I really hope you draw at least 1 OIL permit. You probably have more years ahead than me. :yike:
You will get it done :tup:

I actually believe it has been a blessing not to draw yet. Ten years ago I may not have given a tag its due worth. Now Im older and see things in a different way. I think I could do any of the tags justice. Im also looking forward to sharing an OIL hunt with my kid. He's old enough to tag along on any of the hunts now. A few years ago it would of been a struggle. Everything happens for a reason, Im just enjoying the anticipation of the ride. :tup:

Falcon, that picture looks familiar. I just put in for Swakane and Chelan Butte, not holding my breath even with 20 pts. but I am heading to Wyoming for elk in October!
Tom,
It was awesome having you on that hunt. Good luck on the sheep and other draws. Would love to return the favor someday :tup:

Wonder what the average age is of those who draw moose and/or sheep? When I drew moose 2 years ago I was 49. Seems that a lot of permits go to us older dudes :dunno: who have been putting in since forever. :chuckle:
