Ryan, they had max points 9 or 10 I think


We were up on the mountain about 4:30 in the morning as we had put them to bed the night before, We seen about 14 rams from a ridge in the same spot they bedded down so we decided to make a stalk, One cousin and two guys went one way down a ridge to come up on top of them and me and the other cousin went through the bottom of the canyon incase something bigger was down there, so we get to the end were the rams were and kind of heading back up the mountain, we didnt know if kevin was there yet and they didnt know if we were there yet so were walking up the ridge to get to vantage point so we could see the sheep and we kick a ram up 10 yards from us feeding in some bushes, I yelled at cory cause he didnt see it take off so we run after him and get over the edge and see more rams, so were glassing them and walk up a little and see the one we kicked up and checking to see if hes a shooter, about that time BOOM, kevin hits one from the top, we dont know where there at so we take off running and get over a little knoll and 5 rams went running down then stop about 80 yards from us, cory has his gun on his shooting sticks and is asking me which one looks good ( this is a quick decision cause there already spooked) so I say I think the 4th one back so hes looking at it through his scope and I look up the mountain for kevin and BOOM, hes drills the 4th one back. so two sheep down within 100 yards of each other. They rough scored them at 159 and 161.

Kirk Thanks for the info looks like they were at the top of the mountian. How many years have they been putting in for those tags? Saw a great big buck near west chewuch on saturday night was non typical had a moose like paddle on the right side and a big four on the left. would make a great trophy. Lots of deer around should be a good year.

Ryan, not sure how long they had been putting for. Sounds like a nice buck, I assume it was a muley. You gonna be over there for the rifle opener. Ill be there thursday night before the opener. We camp in Boulder creek campground. Ill have a white dodge cummins quad cab if your there and swing through the camp ground. gonna do some lookin around that friday.

RE: Washington Sheep Pics
 

Kirk, my place is about 5 min from there I will be over Thursday night or friday morning before the opener to get set up for me and my buddies. I 'll bring by some beers and we can B.S. Lots of nice deer out we had 8 does and three legal bucks sleeping on our place on saturday when I pulled up. Really got me ready to go for the Season I think it will be really good this year, now it just needs to get good and cold. Im also planning on hunting the AHE hunt on the Alkali on the 11th up maby snag a fat cow.

RE: Washington Sheep Pics
 

Ryan, sounds good, wheres your place at. Thats good theres lots of deer around. I take my 2nd test on the 13th. Missed it by 4 questions last time.

RE: Washington Sheep Pics
 

Kirk, our place is on Cub Creek Road. I will be there all season. I have to help my 12 year old cousin get his first deer, he drew an any deer tag for alta so I will have to spend a day down there but I mostly hunt our property but I want to spend some time around the valley where I have seeen some nice bucks . My buddies are coming for the second week. I also have one friend coming the first week to hunt and keep me company. Good luck with that AHE test I thought that there was lots of stuff on it that wasnt in the study material I think I got lucky on mine.

My cousins grandpa and grandma use to live down in cub creek, theres a bunch of mobil homes in there, we use to stay there when I was kid when wed go over there deer hunting.

RE: Washington Sheep Pics
 

Kirk, Sounds good I shure like that part of the valley for mulys. I have seen some real nice deer not far from there. Last year saw the bigest buck I have ever seen withen one mile of the turn off of W. C. Rd too far away to shoot at though. I want to check out the methow wildlife area near twisp in the later part of the season. Do you like the boulder creek area?, I have nerer hunted that drainage.

RE: Washington Sheep Pics
 

Ya its pretty good hunting up there, we usually go to twisp opening day then hunt boulder or 1st-4th creeks. Maybe go up towards sweet grass

RE: Washington Sheep Pics
 

Awsome pictures, awsome animals. That's something I would love to try for.

RE: Washington Sheep Pics
 

kirk nice Rams tell your cuz congrats from me. :) Ryan I thought of another place you might try, you might think about South ridge it runs from Bear mnt to just behind my place. It means a walk but alot of people wont do it.[link]http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=48.41389&lon=-119.96889[/link]This is a map of the area. You'll need to change; View Scale to: 1: 200,000... then hit the Update Map.
