Yeah, I know this seems weird to all you guys who want a "quality buck" tag so bad you can't see straight. Ah well...
Regards, Guy
Not really Guy..I think you'd be surprised how many might feel the same way after an experience like you had. So much more to having a late tag then just killing a buck. In my opinion you did your tag justice, and if you can sleep at night when you get home, then that's enough. Sounds like a good hunt!

Nice to see people like you draw these late tags. The trip and being able to have the chance to harvest is 99% of the fun anyhow, and it sounds like you got that.

Good for you Guy!
good write up and what its all about enjoying yourself out there and having a tag that put u in some great country and a chance to see something special.
I dont get these people who get so caught up in that they didnt kill anything and it was a terrible trip because of it even if they have a freezer full at home. These people dont deserve draw tags and really should just quit hunting if its all about pumching tags.

I've always thought of you as top drawer Guy, what a lesson of humility most all of us could use.

Awesome post, awesome attitude, way to go and really glad you enjoyed yourself. Sounds like you got everything you could hope for out of this hunt without having to pack one out.
For me the anticipation of the hunt and the hunt itself are what it is really about, filling a tag is a distant second to the experience.
Good on you for enjoying the hunt the way you wanted and posting how it went.

glad you had a good hunt guy!
I grew up in with a group of hunters that basically measured success or failure on tags punched. The more i hunt on my own or with huntnnw and my other buddies i am finding and have found that it is sooo much more! You still have plenty of great memories of a great swakane quality hunt!
