At a Glance
Lake Roosevelt and the Spokane River make up the northern border of this unit, as well as the majority of the prime sheep habitat. There are some intense elevation changes coming up the south side of the river that range from steep to vertical, depending on where you are. Expect to run into major access issues in this unit as it is almost entirely private property and locating a sheep on public land is very unlikely. Overall this is a great hunt if you are planning on hiring an outfitter regardless of where you draw a tag, and shouldn’t be overlooked.
Many hunters and hikers have reported running into sheep near Whitestone Rock. Although this unit isn’t considered one of the best in the state, the terrain here is milder than some other sheep units in the state. Securing private property access will give you your best shot at a good ram.
Quick Tips
- GPS or a compass will be a necessity at all times in this unit
- The terrain can be steep and rugged in some areas, trekking poles are highly recommended
- Getting in touch with the local biologist prior to your hunt will help considerably; these sheep are monitored regularly and the biologist can help point you in the right directions prior to heading into the unit
- There is very little water available on this unit once you leave the river, so take as much as you can pack when you leave your vehicle
