Now you're talking. One of the happiest day in my hunting life----the day I got my sheep tag in the mail.
A word of advice----start hitting the gym----get in sheep shape & a little more.

19. I know it well where I'll probably be hunting. He hunt it for elk and deer. Elevation, only a few hundred ft above where we live thankfully. Some steep and rugged country, but open. Been hunting it for about 25 years.
Once in a lifetime for me, no more sheep apps in my future.

Had a feeling it was unit 19. Some awesome rams in that unit! Good luck. Can’t wait to see what you find.

We were just talking about this amongst friends at lunch. Sheep is about once in a lifetime for anyone now. It takes about 25 points to get a tag. Congratulations!

Took 23 points to draw this year, no max PP folks put in for it, about 26% odds think.
190 3/8 out of there last year. I'll be happy with an 8 yr old ram.

I guess we are 1/4 of the 8 tags, as I drew a 19-1 also. I have friends down by Wheatland but never hunted down there. Coyotes during my UW years.I know a couple landowners, so it should be interesting.
How do you plan on hunting your ram? Archery? Handgun? Rifle?
My greatest challenge will be getting in shape so I don't die on the hillside... I really didn't anticipate drawing.

Probably be a rifle hunt. If you have private access you should be good.
It's steep and rugged in places but you'll be fine.
