« on: March 11, 2009, 09:09:15 PM »
I heard the 08 Raffle hunter took a small 2x3? And he was from Wenatchee?

Let me just say that without knowing the story, I can't blame him.  I would defnitely shoot a 2x3 10 minutes before dark on December 31.  Heck, what am I saying?  The biggest buck I've ever shot is a spike and I would've shot the 2x3 the morning of December 31.  But not a minute before that.  :)

I saw several this last season in several different areas, he must not have hunted that hard IMHO. 180 with that tag should have been a cake walk :twocents:

Maybe he's just a deer hunter and not a trophy hunter.  Theres nothing wrong with that is there?

Having drawn three raffle tags, in two different states, I can assure you it's not as easy as one would think.  I spent over a month on both deer raffle tags, in WA and NV, and things still didn't work out as I expected (i.e. I'm going to drive right out in the "best" unit in the state and plow a 200" muley).

Anybody that thinks it actually works that way, hasn't got a clue (I can vouche for that first hand, as I was way off base myself with the first tag I drew).  And the year you draw a tag like that, you can't seem to get a break to save your life!  All you can find are 24" 3X4s and every guy you run into says they just saw three 210" bucks, just 15 minutes ago.  It'll drive you nuts if you let it!  Pretty soon you don't even want to stop to talk to anybody.

Anyway, you can't appreciate the stress of the situation until you've had one of those tags.  Don't get me wrong, stress me out all you like that way, but a 200" buck is no slam dunk deal on any tag!  And if you're going to hold out til the end for a big buck, sometimes it just doesn't work out?

ask wea300mag if he'd say the same.

" 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

It was NOT the last minute of the last hour of the last day!!! I believe it was taken during the general rifle season?
