I tagged along on this hunt a couple years ago, you'll enjoy the ride! When all is said and done those hills aren't as formidable as they appear. Its all downhill to the highway! Congrats!

That will be a fun hunt. Be patient and look at a lot of different rams before you pull the trigger. They have some really cool ones in there with all the different characteristics a person might want. There is one dandy is see pretty often that wouldn't score really high but he is super heavy and broomed out.

You do realize this is a ram tag and not a moose tag, right?  I'm not too sure calling will be very beneficial. :chuckle:

What a great tag to have. Not sure if that record setting ram is still kicking up there or not. Fair value for that tag is well over a $100,000, prolly a lot more. Too bad you have to pay taxes on your win but hey, you just won the jackpot in the WDFW lotto...

I have tried to sheep bleat at them to settle them down....


They did NOT appreciate it.

Wear a bathrobe with a towel around your head.
Some will let you walk right up to them.

Tons of low to mid 170's slot rams in there right now.  Let's hope they don't know the difference between a 175" and a 180"...

Apparently not. OP has logged on this past year, just a couple days ago actually but hasn’t posted since June of last year.

Lots of things can happen with these tags and sometimes life turns upside down.

Hopefully the OP had a good hunt. Sometimes we just don’t get “the rest of the story, good day”( in my best Paul Harvey voice)

Sorry Guys… I’ve still been resting up since last hunting season. The hunt was amazing. I don’t even know how many days I was up looking at rams prior to season….a lot. I think I looked over about every ram in there.  There were days you could see 75 Rams or better. Pretty amazing but also overwhelming trying to figure if one would score a few inches more than the other.  I was very happy with the one I harvested. I believe it was one of the biggest I saw and even if not it was one that kept catching my eye.

I drew the Chelan Butte A tag. Congratulations. How many points did you have? I drew with 3. I was shaking so bad when I read it, I almost dropped my phone. Never even thought about actually getting a tag. Thought I was just getting another point.

that’s pretty cool to draw with 3 points. But I don’t understand why you get on the forum and post I drew an oil tag with 3 points. Really kind of pisses me off. Sure I’m not the only one. Probably just joined to get info as well. Good luck on your hunt. Rant over.
