Post by: Ridgerunner on February 21, 2010, 05:49:14 PM: I did not need to see those pics, a bighorn tag is the one thing I REALLY WANT and seeing a bunch of big rams like that, makes the waiting even worse!

Post by: WonkyWapiti on February 21, 2010, 08:28:47 PM: I'm putting my 12 year old daughter thru Hunter Safety this year and the first thing she says to me when I tell her is, "I want to kill a sheep." With her luck she'll probably draw, lol. Those are some nice pics.

Post by: 180-GRAIN on February 21, 2010, 09:39:28 PM: Man there is some toads in that group. nice to see rams of that quality.
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: MtnMuley on February 22, 2010, 04:24:06 PM: Nice pics for sure! Thanks. Maybe some of the guys on here that know there sheep could give us a close rough score on a couple of the bigger ones.............. :)

Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: NRA4LIFE on February 25, 2010, 09:11:27 AM: Awesome. That old boy that's broomed looks like a shooter to me. Oh to draw a sheep tag....
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: DOUBLELUNG on February 25, 2010, 10:19:57 AM: I think the biggest rams there are 160 class, very respectable Calis.
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: carpsniperg2 on February 25, 2010, 10:40:45 AM: great pics maybe one of these days i can draw a tag and get one of them. but it will probably be 50 years from now :bash:
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: Pathfinder101 on February 28, 2010, 10:38:50 PM: Very cool. Theres' some shooters in there... :drool:
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: steen on March 07, 2010, 09:58:04 PM: I've got 6 points the next time I draw.
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: seaduckhunter on March 07, 2010, 10:02:38 PM: Does anyone know what the average points are when drawn? I have 9 going into next season. Is manson a good one to apply for?
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: Ridgerunner on March 07, 2010, 10:11:38 PM: there are so few sheep tags I don;t think points really matter much, more luck than anything in my mind. Lots of guys with lots of sheep points, every year lots of people draw with less than max, any of the units would be good and rams like that could be had in any of them.
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: seaduckhunter on March 07, 2010, 10:15:07 PM: Well some day Ill get lucky and draw. I hope it is sooner than later. :brew: :brew:
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: MtnMuley on March 08, 2010, 07:50:12 AM: Max points for all the OILs doesn't seem to matter. ;)
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: steen on March 08, 2010, 10:42:03 AM: I drew a bull tag for Dayton last year with 5 points but haven't drawn for any thing else. I draw for all 5 in the state. Deer I draw with someone with less points so I think it would be 4 this year. It makes for something to look forward to every spring. I'm actually looking forward to the general season for mule deer this year with the kids and extended family. Just hiking up the mountain every morning and enjoying the sights and seeing what comes along.

Just means you are really unlucky and should drop out of the draws, you won't draw anyway. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: wilsongideon on March 12, 2010, 08:52:07 PM: I put in for the manson unit just because its the closest ones to me. . . .i might not even need to hire a guide :)
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: Ripper on March 12, 2010, 08:59:22 PM: Thanks for posting, I always appreciate sheep pics from this state. I saw them once on the Colokum above west bar. That was cool. None the size that you posted though.

Ridge, I just read your post in this thread from Feb. 21. You went from I would really like a sheep tag to "I killed one of those".

I'm gonna post on Feb. 21 of next year and say the same thing.........maybe that will help me get a tag. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Manson Bighorns
Post by: Holg3107 on September 29, 2010, 05:05:24 PM: I caught that to NWBREW, thought it was hilarious when I read the whole thread this morning. I too will be posting on every sheep thread starting in December that I wish that i could draw that tag and hope i become the next "Ridgerunner." Great hunt by the way Ridgerunner and awesome ram.
