Hey there littlefoot. I know exactly where you're at there. In fact, I nearly ran a couple of young rams over right below where the last photo was taken. I was looking across the river at some sheep and looked back at the road just in time to see a couple of little guys jumping the guard rail and crossing the road. Too close of a call, really close, in fact I couldn't really tell they were rams by their horns, if you know what I mean. I drive up the canyon quite a few times a year and always see sheep mostly on the west side. Can't wait until I draw one of those tags. When were you there, recently? Did you happen to head over to where they feed them by oak creek? It's not really like seeing them "in the wild" but I do enjoy seeing all of the rams up close like that.

LittleFoot:

Nice pics! I was over at Oak Creek on Sat with my family. The elk were awesome! I went over to the base of Clemens hoping to get a good look at the sheep. They were spread out on the hill side, probally around 75 head. Anyway, I have the max pts for sheep, lol. What are your top choices for Washington sheep units should a guy be luck enough to drawn one of these suckers? Also,what would a top end ram score from the Clemens area?
Thanks!

Ahhh yes, hard to forget good sheep country. So how big is "really big"? Thanks for posting. Keep 'em coming.

RE: washington sheep pics

The Yakima River or the Entiat River? If its the Yakima it would be the Umtanum/Selah unit, correct? If so, on average the rams in there are fairly light (13"-14") and are usually broomed back into 30-33" range. Clemon sheep are usually a little heavier as some rams have been taken out with 15" bases. The auction hunter took a ram out of Clemon 3 years ago that scored 176. That was a bit of an anomoly though, I would expect to take something in the low-mid 160 range.

If its the Entiat, that would make it the Swakane Unit??? If so, that is a different story.
