"Governor's Tag"

[Boss .300 winmag]

Who,what,when,where, and why? 


Hope I didn't miss anything.

yes don't miss anything.  I had to take 2 days off of work just to read through and catch up on the last thread.

Honestly, its easy to say I wouldn't do this or I wouldn't do that, when you don't and probably never will have the means to purchase a governors tag.  I'd like to say there is no way I would ever drop that much coin on a tag when I could buy a landowner tag in basically every western state AND most likely take as big or bigger animals as you could on any of these washington tags.  I personally don't buy the argument that some of these Governor tag folks are only doing it for conservation.  If that was the case they wouldn't hire the mossback crew, or lease up miles of the missouri river breaks to keep other sheep tag holders off the private dirt, etc.  Who knows really   Maybe if I made 50k a week I would have a pocket full of governors tags

The OP's question is "given unlimited resources and the tag, how would you spend it?"

To answer that, I would simply hunt , the only way I know how, get out there, figure out what is going on and hunt. It's rather simple for me.

I don't even put in for special permits anymore cause I can hunt OTC for an Elk, Deer, Bear etc. why pay the extra money? if I ever feel like I want to kill a branch antler bull I will hunt the westside or invest some time in an any Elk unit or go out of state. There are plenty of quality bucks OTC , public land. I just don't buy into any of the fairy tales. I used too, now not so much. Experience, time with family and friends and hunting anything is something I cherish.

Now this I can get on board with. Roll per bull?

If I drew the tag (it would have to be a raffle because I couldn't compete for the auction), I couldn't afford the mass guides that some people can. If I could afford the guides, I probably would ask for help in locating but that's assuming I had to work. If I was so damn rich I could take Aug-Dec off, I'd scout myself.  Lot's of pressure on those tags I bet, I'd love to know just how much!

I have know idea what Id do or where I'd go....but i know I'd find out ! It'd be on the west side for sure....in some area few people are allowed to go 

Gosh there's some cool places to kill elk with that tag
