Wa State Moose Raffle Tag Punched
« on: November 04, 2013, 12:32:04 PM »
 I am so happy to say I finally found a bull, (with a lot of help from several people) that was worthy of the tag in my pocket. I had waited a long time for a WA moose tag and wanted to make the best of it holding out for a B&C bull or nothing. To say I am happy is such an understatement! I carried my Mathews every day and had 2 good bulls both under 30 yards, but I wasn't convinced either would make minimum. I'm sorry to say I didn't get it done with the bow as I reached for a muzzle loader after locating the bull in a patch of thinned timber. Talk about noisy! There was a cow and 2 other bulls with him not to mention some deer above in the timber. I wasn't going to mess around and loose the opportunity.   
 My first attempt of posting a story crashed my computer so I'm going to make this short and sweet with a teaser pic. I'm about out of time at work today but I'll be back with more.

The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
