    Yeah, I've been pretty lucky with the draws here in Washington. I drew a Cleman Mt sheep tag in 2014 after 42 years putting in. Then I drew the any moose tag in 2015 for the Kettle Range after 38 years of draws. I got him a little ways south of Sherman pass. I've taken 3 goats in Washington...

    Shines I have an EXO Mountain Gear 5500 that works well for me for somewhat heavy loads. I've carried multiple loads of moose up to 85# and elk up to maybe 70# with relative comfort. Like the Stone Glacier packs, it compresses quite well for day pack use and still has the load shelf design...

    How long does it usually take to draw a goat tag?

    Sounds kind of like me. When I was 14, I drew goat here in Washington on my first try....of course the draw odds were a little better in 1972!

    Backpacking Down Jackets

    +2 for their Downlight Stormdown. I have two and just noticed they now have a stuffable pocket that they have been missing in the past. It's the one thing that I really would have liked to have on mine. With the current sale, I may have to buy another just for that!

    Win a sheep hunt, get a huge tax bill?

    Yeah, I was just passing along what she said. I have no doubt I'd be paying income tax as well. In the end, the total from taxes and the other items they list as not covered would set the winner back at least $10k. Definitely an inexpensive stone hunt, but also definitely far from free. I...

    Win a sheep hunt, get a huge tax bill?

    Just got a phone call from Terri at IWS foundation and she said the winner would be on the hook for 5% sales tax, but she didn't know of any other tax. She did say the winner should check with his tax person to be sure though.

    Win a sheep hunt, get a huge tax bill?

    Interesting. I never thought about the tax implications. I'd assume the IWS foundation would have included that little tidbit of info as it could/would make it a no-go for the average guy. I'm wondering if the value info would be from the Yukon based outfitter or from the IWS foundation. If...

    2% always seems pretty low, but there are elk units here in Washington with consistently lower success rates and I know people who continually hit the same ones year after year!
