Tag Soup Club, Who's in and what is Your excuse this year ;)

I'm In
Black tail hunted and got nothing to show for it.
My excuse is that it snowed 10+ inches starting on opening day of the late season.
I have never hunted in that much snow up there.
Deer moved on to their winter range.
That's My story and I'm sticking to it.
Anyone else?

I didn't kill one cause I chose not to, on holloween I could have shot a 3pt with eye guards but he wasn't big enough, my daughter drew down on a 3 pt on Friday but just couldn't get on the gun quick enough before it walked into some real thick stuff, but she was a champ about it, she just needs a little more strength in her arms and I could have killed a small two pt on the last day of extended buck but again way to small!! Tag soup for me but that's ok, there will be some bigger bucks next year
but still, there is nothing like huntn the grey ghost !!!

Nothing for us either. Just saw spikes, and 1 2pt that I thought it was past shooting light, so he lived. Brandon, next time you see a 3 pt with eyegaurds, tie him to a tree and I'll come get him!!

Got several trail cam pics and faced down a nice 3-point blacktail twice at close range but too much vegetation to fling an arrow. The freezer will be empty by Spring. Grumble, grumble...

Better to be safe than sorry
. That's my excuse. Was 75% sure it was him, but couldn't 100% confirm. He and his younger brother look the same, except he is a 3x3 and hid brother is a 2 point.
Has a late Palouse tag and things kept on piling up on me and didn't have a chance to hunt over there.

I'm in. For elk, I hunted hard for every day I could get away so no excuse other than I could have hunted harder.
For deer, I cancelled my 2nd deer tag and could have driven the 12 hours roundtrip and gave it a shot so that one is on me. Work foiled my shot at my buck tag, that was a huge bummer. Just not my year, but we did better with the kid's tags so I wouldn't change a thing.

I'm in. Excuse for fall bear and general MF elk is just not putting in the time.
For Palouse buck and 2nd deer, I'm gonna blame luck and access, respectively. Did hunt both several days, had some chances for shots, but never got one off.
I'm pretty sure the real reason is it's only the second year I've been hunting, and trying to put everything together just takes time. Right?
At least it's a tasty tag soup...

I'm in for WA, mostly because I'm just lazy. Got a small buck in Missouri last week though.

Four tags bought not one filled. Bear tag went unfilled but not for lack of trying put lots of time in and kept seeing bear right when it was too dark to pursue. Work canceled my vacation so no deer or elk hunting this year for me.

Hunted deer and elk 10 days as hard as i could never saw a legal animal. Disappointed boardering on pissed off even if that isn't the right way to feel about it.

Nothing for our camp.
Hunted elk, saw lots of bulls and cows no spikes.
Hunted mule deer modern, some got peeks at bucks but no shots.

Too many passes, not enough bigguns.
