Man that North Skagit tag is getting harder and harder to draw.  I can't believe it would tag 7 points to draw! 

Good luck, hope you find a big one!

pretty low success in Skagit usually like 5 or 6 tagged out of 30 hunters, better choose Monroe  :tup:

I'm already starting to regret wasting all my points on this permit,  later I will probably regret wasting my time unsuccessfully attempting to find an elusive, (nasty tasting) Skagit bear.    I could have just applied for the Monroe permit that yields nearly 100% success rate on delicious, fat, blackberry eating, bears with perfect hides.   :bash:

Everytime I check my draw results I get dizzy and slightly light headed with anticipation.  I'm going to call this phenomenon: D.R.A.I.N , or Draw Results Anticipation Induced Nausea.  am I the only one with this condition? DRAIN       :chuckle:

This seems to be the case with the elk permits in the same area,  I would love to draw one of those, but I think my odds are better for getting killed by a nooksack elk while driving to work.

Crazy I wouldn't think its that desirable of a permit.

" 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

I might be more excited that he got it and not me.   Same thing really, who gets to pull the trigger is a minor detail.   We are both going to be spotting, stalking, dragging, eating.... Well hopefully anyway.     

Wea300mag shoot me a PM next month if you want to negotiate a trail camera retrieval.
