Congrats Steve! I'm a little jelious since I had 13 points and put in for the same hunt. ;) We'll get you a nice ram don't worry!
NICE!!!!

I know there are at least 4 very big rams in that area...just have to find them. Congrats on the tag.
Wow!!! 4 tags 4 very big rams. This could get competitive!

Boon if you want some info PM me and I'll give you the run down. I hunted it in 06 my self and have helped on three other tags. It is a great hunt.
Those rams aren't known to be "smaller" you just have to find one of the older rams that are there.
Energy Retro,
You too have a good tag. Those sheep are doing well even with the disease out break in the canyon as it didn't seem to effect that side of the hwy. There are some private ground issues but nothing that you cant work around.
If either of you want to talk you can contact me.

I just got back from elkstuffers place to see what true trophy rams look like, OMG, I can honestly say I had no idea how big a trophy ram is!! What an eye opening that was. Thanks Ric I needed that.:hunt2:LOL Steve. That's the first stop I made too. Ric has a pile of rams up there to compare to. There's bigger rams up there than the one I got but I'm more than satisfied with him. I know that one went in the high 170's. From what I heard anyway. Still haven't seen a pic. Here's a link to the gallary of my ram. (3 pics) Pat

Best of luck on you hunt.
Looking forward to the pictures and story.

Look at a lot of rams to learn what a big one looks like. DON 't shoot a dink. It is a long season so be patient. good luck.

Nice ram pat is he 8 1/2 . that stud rick has is the ram I passed on day one of my clemans b hunt oooops !!!!!!!!!Ya, the bio said 8 1/2 yrs. I know that there are some big old boys in the Tieton, but rams do seem to grow faster on Clemens. I saw another Clemans ram at the game dept. that had almost 1" bigger bases than my ram and at least 2 yrs younger. Coach, I saw that stud up at Rics but I wouldn't beat myself up too much. The limpy ram you got is way cool! The best advice I got for BOOM is it's your tag and hunt it the way you want to hunt it. Take my hunt and coach's hunt for example. It was a little disappointing to have my hunt over as quickly as it started. It was hard for me to shoot on the first day but I had a goal and I knew this ram was something that I'd be more than satisfied with. Coach passed a great ram and never had the opportunity to go back and get it. But he still ended up with a great trophy and he got a lot more boot time than I did which has a value of it's own. The hunt is what you want to make of it. Bottom line, do what makes YOU happy, and just have fun. That's why your there. Happy hunting.

Something else I can add to all of you sheep hunters out there: Make sure that all of your friends and family can judge sheep horns or tell them to stay quiet. When you get right down to the heat of the moment and you have 2 people, one in each ear telling you to shoot, it usually always turns out with a subpar ram on the ground. I've seen too many unhappy hunters come into the shop with rams that they were not happy with. It's a shame to see on a OIL hunt. :twocents:

Never shoot a ram that you cant really get a scope on and judge , IE Limpy Ram.
I would have shot "Limpy" over any ram I've ever taken in. You will be hard pressed to see let alone shoot a ram 11+ years old anywhere. That makes him a very unique trophy in my book. Coach, you know how excited I was about your ram! That ram lived through it all for over 11 years and it took a hard hunt and some luck to finally bring him down.

There are 2 other permit holders and the auction hunter and the raffle ticket hunter all in your permit area.
That is what happened to me. If you take your time, and what happens if the other four don't?

How about considering your competition? You have scouted and you know there is only one good ram in the bunch.

TAG SOUP? Oh ##it I am shooting the first nice ram I see!!!
