re: Did anyone else tag out this season?

I recalled that we had a poster draw the tag. That’s so awesome. I drew an Idaho Bighorn tag back around 2006. Incredible animal to hunt.

It takes a whole lot of money to slam now. Even if you draw your Rocky and Desert.

Nice but…..Why not a picture head on so we can see his Rack

Happy for all who had luck this year. Just being in the woods is a gift in itself. The sad thing is you don’t really appreciate that alone until life throws you a curve ball. Found out I had cancer 4 years ago and as a result I am limited physically. Have to pick days when I am up to it. Thankfully I have a couple of long time friends who make those days possible. Went in November when weather was nice. Let 13 deer walk that hunt. Got to go several times more and did not kill. Saw some at extreme end of shooting time but did not shoot as I don’t take sketchy shots. Season is over for me this year. My daughter shot a nice Buck on my place so I ended up with enough meat. My advice if you care, is go as often as you can. Relish those days because you just never know when things can change. Already looking forward to next season!

I never “tag out “ because we wouldn’t be able to keep or eat it all.
I did kill two 8 pts and my son got two does and a 9 pt that’s at the taxidermist.


One of the best seasons of my life because of the time spent and memories made with him (he killed first deer at 12 and then didn’t care about hunting until he was 20).
