This is a very big unit, and sheep have become more scattered in recent years, but if you are simply looking for a classic looking bighorn and not a new world record, you should be in for a great hunt. Expect a physical hunt more often than not, unless you luck into the right ram near the lake. This hunt lends itself to both spike camp style hunting, as well as hunting out of a base camp, using vehicles and boats to cover ground and locate sheep. A nice ram is not out of the question if you come physically prepared and remain patient.
Most hunters are finding success in the southern half of the unit, closer to the town of Chelan. They are spotting sheep from the lake or from Grade Creek Road and then making a move on them.
Quick Tips
- GPS or a compass will be a necessity for any off-trail travel
- Very rugged and steep terrain should only be traversed by those experienced in similar areas; trekking poles are highly recommended
- This unit is quite remote, plan on gearing up prior to entering the unit as supplies will be very limited and require some driving no matter where you set up base camp
