Congrats. on a great looking ram. Glad you got one that met the goal you set, and glad you didn't have to pay to get it. Thanks for offering to help someone else out.

Nice job on a beautiful ram.

He holds his mass well.

He looks like an older ram.

Freaking nice...  I have the same mind set when it comes to paying to access land, just can't do it - must be my teachings on hunting from my Dad many- many years ago..  Excellent job...

Just ran across this...  Good ram for the area and the restrictions.  Nice mass around the curl and like you said the color is really good.  good to know your were able to stay on public land and tell the privates to shove it.

As far as I am concerned the Yakima River Canyon is ruined with "urban encroachment' on a wild area.  while i understand private land, it is a sad day when that great resource is off limits to those of us with out $$.  I know a guy that paid big dollars a few years ago to deer hunt up there.  Opening day it was so crowded they took so many guys to cash in it was ridiculous.  No one got anything...

I quit turning in for this unit because of this.

That's right where I grew up. I always hoped to get drawn for that tag. There are so many bighorn sheep on public land in that area.

One annoying thing was the "Eaton Ranches" signs posted on what was obviously public ground...

They have the mentality that if they lease they own it. I have a major issue with some of the things I have herd of them doing down there. Every time I see one of them all they do is complain about the damage the sheep are doing. It seems simple but they can not put 2 and 2 together to figure out if you allowed access for cheap or even free there would be no problem!

I herd that reds took over the fee for access because they have the hunting lease for Eatons ground.  :dunno:

Congrats on a very nice ram!

I ran across this post the other day and was surprised to read some of the negative comments about the lease, signs etc...  It didn't sound right so I decided to contact Steve at Reds and I urge anyone who wants to comment on this topic to do the same before saying too much. 

A couple points after talking with Steve:
-No one can really demand any kind of fee, as many have said, there is plenty of public land in that area.
-I've hunted Eatons in the past and looked at some great rams! There are good rams on the PL but I would definitely consider Eatons if I got a OIL tag. 
-There are plenty of things I can't afford but you can't always hold it against someone.
-Reds took over the deer hunting a couple of years back and nearly cut the # of hunters in half so I think the crowd has lightened up.
-There's quite few other areas to hunt/apply for. 
-As for the Eaton signs, I thought that was wrong too. There are BLM signs next to each one explaining that it's our responsibility to know the boundary. Eaton does have ground beyond those signs and never put any No Hunting signs where they don't belong.

Hope this is helpful.  I always thought the guys at Reds were decent and god knows, WA could use a little more quality game management! Again, I would contact Steve if you truly have interest in this subject.
