RE: Sheep hunters
Sorry Guys,
Us BC residents know we live in sheep heaven. British Columbia has Bighorn, California Bighorn (poor mans desert sheep) Stones and Dalls. I believe all sheep still OTC and a tag goes for 50. bucks.
I know life ain't fair.
Bye the way aqauarcher, I have worked around Similkamene, also Shulaps -9 mile ridge, also Marble range etc and know a few honey holes for Calis.......just need some time off. Never the less very nice rams in the photos, look like some of the Big Bar bunch.
Thanks for sharing. Hopin the sheep hunters are enjoyin themselves right now.

RE: Sheep hunters
great pictures there agaucher, good luck.
Hemi, as always, great ram
Now, the part where I'm confused. Hemi, didn't you have to draw for that tag? Yet tango, keeps mentioning $50 otc. Was the area you were in just a much better "permit area"?? Thanks. I've got to decide where to move to ya know

RE: Sheep hunters
I can clarify things - in BC there are wildlife management units that are open to all but dalls. We have 4 species in BC, dalls require a draw. Mixed in and amongst those open units are closed units that require draws, like the area that hemi took his ram in.
Hemi - those are kamloops rams, closed and will never be hunted. Several of those sheep I took pics of would go within the top 5 B&C if killed.
You should send me an email to [email protected] - I am heading down your way this fall elk hunting we could grab a coffee. Still living down towards bridesville? Did you end up getting any more rams? I know you were off after them a couple years ago...

RE: Sheep hunters
Good luck on your sheep hunt aquarcher, headed to 6 or 7?
Seems to me there are still dalls open just west of Atlin, if all dalls now on draw must be fairly new (5 years ?) or am I just slow?

RE: Sheep hunters
Sorry Shato and Hillbilly,
I just checked the regs and otc BC res sheep tags ...............ARE NOW 60. BUCKS I sure hate inflation. You can google BC hunting regs and check yourself. Check resident hunting linkand if you have time check out region 7b for amazing hunt opportunities. Your sheep tag allows you to hunt either Bighorn (Rocky mtn or California)or Thinhorn sheep (stone or dall).

Tang
Dalls are all on LEH, as the only pure dalls can be found west of bennett lake BC. The 'dalls' east of bennet lake, although white, are mostly fannin. A cross breed between a stone and dall. these sheep cannot be considered dalls for grand slam, and they are on GOS.
