Am I the only one who can't wait to see if I drew any hunts?

[Guy Miner]

Tags arrived in the mail! It's one thing to see the results online, and terrific to have tags in hand!

Late season cow elk in Washington. Mule deer & pronghorn in Wyoming!

First up though is black bear here in Washington. OTC tag for that.

Good luck Guy. It's shaping up to be a pretty stellar fall for a lot of people.

Well I have been blessed this fall as I just found out this evening that we were drawn for Prairie Goats :mrgreen:. So we have Moose, Mulie & Goats this fall plus regular Elk & Whitetail. My wife & I are leaving on August 5th, heading up to visit DrMike & Linda,then on to do some fishing with gerry & his lovely wife Marie.
Well up with gerry he has ask to go spotting for Mountain goats with him & a buddy of his!! I sure hope I don't slow them down too badly .


Blessings,
Dan

An antelope will be the perfect first animal for your 280 AI Dan, congratulations. I wouldn't worry too much about slowing us down on a goat hunt, I'm sure you will do fine. I'm sure there are some salmon waiting for you as well

 

[DrMike]

Good luck on the goat, Dan. See you this next month.

Good luck !

Thank you for all the well wishes, I am sure looking forward to this next 5 months. My wife advised me last night that she really is going to be the Hunting Widow this fall. I advised her that I would make arrangements for her to come along on our Elk hunt as I will not be going up for the full 2 weeks. Our Moose hunt is at my Nephew's place and will likely be a weekend hunt so I am sure she will be there with us for that as well.

Blessings to all that will be on the land harvesting the bounty that our Lord has provided us .

Blessings,
Dan

I got my results.[emoji53]

Looks like all I'm hunting is OTC Bear this Fall. Didn't draw elk or antelope earlier this year and just found out I didn't draw deer, sheep, or bison.
What a bummer.

AZ does have some OTC elk and leftover tags I believe Vince. You might look into that otherwise your going out of state it sounds like.

 

[Vince]

Can't afford to go out of state this year.
At least I live in Paradise.[emoji3][emoji106]

I received another bit of good news last night. I was advised that because there were so few tags allowed for Antelope only a 140 for the whole province. That we are allowed to hunt all 4 Antelope zones in the province and that will cut our travel time by more than 1/2 and also can hunt in zone 9 which I know quite well.
Giving thanks for all of his provisions !

Blessings,
Dan

 

[IdahoCTD]

That sounds like good times are ahead Dan. Good Luck to you.

Well I received a email I was successful drew a South Dakota West River Deer and with a additional doe tag. This will also be a hunt where I get to sleep in a Cabin this year instead of a tent. Don't know if I like that but it will be fun.

 

[sask boy]

Congratulations on drawing the tags, I hope that there will be photos and a good story attached :wink:. I am sure getting excited as it is only about 6 weeks away until Elk for me and this coming Friday I am leaving on a BC trip to see good friends and doing a little fishing!!
Thank you for posting .

Blessings,
Dan

 

[DrMike]

Looking forward to seeing you and Nettie, Dan.

 

[sask boy]

Thanks DrMike we are both very excited to our BC friends as well !!

Blessings,
Dan

I'm bummed out today...I was "unsuccessful" for all my draws! I am going to keep an eye out for some late season cow elk opps though, sometimes landowners advertise unsold permits/tags. Living here in Utah, its a major trip for me just to go somewhere and shoot a hog! ha

 

[IdahoCTD]

Well the killing has begun. My wife and dad shot cows Monday morning about 6:30am. This one had a bit of what looks like mange. The local wildlife lab said it should be OK. It might just be mites or something similar.

 

[DrMike]

Congratulations to your lady. Actually, the picture of the elk doesn't look too bad. Was the hide rubbed primarily on the sides?
