Post by: huntnnw on March 03, 2022, 06:44:37 AM: are they allowed when theres a permit tag issued in a year? I was under the impression the new state record was the Governor's tag last year.
Title: Re: Oregon sheep auction tag
Post by: MtnMuley on March 03, 2022, 07:27:33 AM: No, that was the rocky raffle auction ran by WAWSF. The gov tag holder basically gets the Swakane, while the WDFW raffle tag winner gets the Chelan Butte.

Post by: Mfowl on March 03, 2022, 07:38:52 AM: Will there be draw tags in the Blues again this year? I have not looked at the proposals for this year. Any pics around if the rams that did get taken down there last year?

I don’t think the rocky Gov tag can hunt for Cali’s. Am I wrong?

Auction can’t hunt Rocky’s down south, was waiting for huntnnw to figure that out.
