Alpinegus I'm not envious of you (jealous yes  :chuckle: ) i don't think three great tags in one year would be cool. i thought i was stressed  with the logistics of my bull tag, i would have stroked out with two OIL tags also. glad you drew them and not me  :tup: way to get it done. congrats again on the hunts of a life time

Definitely made the most.  Had a OIL year on OIL tags Gus.  Congratulations!  How is the deer going.  Deer and a bear and you become our new poster child!

Now you only have 1 oil tag too look  forward to now  :chuckle: . Congrats on one hell of a season! I'm with Travis on this one, that would be way too much stress having all 3 of those tags to hunt on. But you know, that is a good problem to have! Congrats again! So whats the taxidermy bill up to this year  :chuckle:

Way to go on the OIL year. I meet you in the Selkirk unit while we were scouting and I have told your story of drawing those hard tags to a bunch of friends and we all think it is almost to much luck with work and family life it's hard to get out that much. it sound like your wife is supportive. I drew 3 tags this year Selkirk moose, Enait Deer and Lewis river elk with work and family life I had to choose only 2 of the 3. I have my moose and will go after the Deer. It's a hard thing to choose, but if you want a job and a family sometimes you have to. Again congrats on the year!!!!!!

Congrats on an amazing year, that is truly a "OIL" year of hunting.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Gus,
That's a great story. Incredible ending to a dream season (minus your over the counter deer)! I wonder if you need to take a second on the house to pay the taxidermy bill? They are all fine animals, I really love that goat. Who needs to hire a guide anyway?

Man you're lucky.  Hopefully I can just draw the goat tag someday!   I love the goat, can't wait to get my own.

To answer a coupleof questions; the goat is +/- 50 inches. 60 day drying ends 11-15.
I will be doing my own taxidermy, so cost will not be to bad.   :)

Burnhamrandr, You got one heck of a moose, that sure appears it should make B&C; or did you get it with archery?   :dunno:
Good luck with that Entiat Deer. I think I'd go after that deer as well.  :tup:
