3/6 Blue Mtns whitetail
« on: June 15, 2017, 09:00:50 AM »
This is my 3rd time in 6 years drawing a Blue Mtns. Foothills quality whitetail muzzy permit. I cannot wait for November to come around.

First time: Took my wife and 1 year old over there and on our way in we saw a monster buck. Everybody I spoke to said to not shoot the first buck you see. I should've shot him because the fog rolled in for the next 5 days. On day 5 my 1 year old came down with thrush and my wife gave me 1 more morning to hunt before we went home. Shot a dinky 3 point the next morning.

2nd time: took my wife, daughter(3), and son(1) with me and on day two I spotted another monster but my trigger on my knight froze up and the buck walked within 30 yards of me. Kicking my self in the rear on that one I shot a nice 4pt the next day. I learned it's harder than hell to stalk a buck with two kids and a wife with ya.

3rd time: I hope for clear sky's and cold temps and rutting whitetails! Looking to rent a cabin for the wife and kids to hangout in when they get cold.

Shouldn't have any problem. Two years ago I counted 46 legal bucks in the first two days.

The OP has the west. You have a different hunt area if you have east. East is lots of  private land.

" 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

If you have the muzzy tag the Godman cabins will most likely require snow machines to acesss... most of the deer have moved lower by that time anyway :tup:

I think that is backwards?  Regs show a "C" for west which designates access limited due to the amount of private land.
