Late tag

[boneaddict]

Well, bottom line is this was a tough year.  It wouldn't matter what tag you had.  This buck may well have bested this years rafflebuck.   I no way want to take away from that trophy either.  Just commenting that this year, if you'd have let him walk, you may not have done better.   .....and that's ok too.

Bone, do you have a side view?  I think this view could be hiding a little of what's there.  It's hard to tell fork depth on this buck with a face on shot.

Still... Face on view only and he would be going down.  Could spend the rest of the season looking for 10 more inches.

Smoke em !!!! Quick

I'll have to check.   Most of my shots were really blurry on this guy.  Maybe I was shaking, lol!

I was probably breathing heavy.  I think living in Yakima is effecting me at high altitudes. Yeah that's it.   It's not the 50 pounds I put on since getting married again.

Pass, also depends on what I've been seeing.

Lol

I've been thinking about the whole altitude shortness if breath thing since finding out we are moving to Colorado.

Pass with rifle tag. Shoot with bow.

I really love these kinds of threads.  So much to think about.  I really hope to draw a late permit one day and have to ponder this type of stuff.

I was just texting some of the mods earlier talking about what I would or wouldn't shoot with a late permit.  I think for me it would really be more about the hunt and all the animals that I could see and the experience that I would share with friends and family.  The buck would just be a reminder of the hunt.

Might pass with the bow - unless or until he looks away!  Rifle say boom.

If I remember right, he took a couple swipes at the ground right there, then bedded.
