Very nice Troy! Good luck in WA and I don't blame you for looking for a hog in ID for your last tag. Like you said, tons of time yet!
Let me know when you are on your way through, we can meet up for lunch or some spot and stalk hunting in my area.... Your allowed 7 deer a year in MT ya know, lol.
Best of luck to you! With a lot of the team hitting the ground this weekend i'll be antsy to get back from the elk woods to get some updates!
I'm sure you won't have any service up there Dave? I'll send you like a brazillion texts anyways. Good luck this weekend Crazy Cooter! Lay them down? Are you buck hunting only? Do you have doe tags in your area?
I am hunting a one deer area so I'm buck hunting. The availability of doe tags changes year to year. The state seems to be allowing fewer of them in recent years. But, if I don't have any luck puting down a good buck this Fall I may look for another area to take a doe later in the season.
Very little service where I will be hunting this weekend, basically at the truck. Zero service during our bivy trip.
GET SOME COOT! antsy today, getting out after work, got a real good area with a couple nice bucks in it... see what happens then its off to the WA mountains fri-sun after that big bull or what ever gives us an opportunity.. Got my pepper stix and summer sausuage all made up from my velvet buck and all burger and steaks from my bull! Pottenger freezer is officially stocked! Now its time to get after some more! Buying another stand up freezer this week..
Dave good luck on your backwoods hunt and yes, I'd enjoy getting out with you on a doe hunt, be a lot of fun..thats the one tag I buy over the counter without having to draw if I understand that right..?? Dan, I hope you drill one right off the bat this weekend, get r done!
when does the damned contest close? cause I wont be over there till xmas break ... after Christmas most likely
Thanks Troy.....I've done all the homework I can at this point and if that buck holds his pattern I have a good chance to connect with him. I prefer to call it the ****ing contest. LOL! I think it ends January 15th. You'll have plenty of time, if you make it to MT.
It`s great going on a hunt with some of your own pepper sticks and sausage packed for snacking on! Once I start eating that stuff I can't stop......
Hey team, sorry I have not been around much but my oldest son had a bad wreck the same week we started this contest. Swerved to miss some horses in the road and hit a tree sideways, had to cut him out of the Truck. He had a closed head injury with short term memory loss, 4 broken ribs, one of the ribs cut a kidney, broken back but will not keep him from walking, and a broken Femur. He is doing rehab now. Been trying to check in to see whats going on when I can but have not had alot of time to socialize. Good luck to you guys that are getting to hunt this weekend.
Damn Sliver, sorry to hear about your son man. I hope he makes a quick and complete recovery. Sounds like he's lucky to be alive.
Silver, very sorry to hear about your son. I had a bad car reck when I was younger which resulted in a broken back as well but it healed fine over time and doesn't prevent me from doing now. I hope your son recovers well.
2.5 days of some serious elk hunting for me in WA state guys! can not wait for work to end today.. will be hunting this afternoon
Good luck Troy! I'm finishing some accounting things right now and getting the last of my gear together for the weekend. Going to Wyatt's soccer game in the morning, then meeting a realtor to look at a hobby farm and then off to the cabin. Going to be a warm one here!
