2019 Gov Whitetail Tag

[OutHouse]

I started thinking about purchasing this tag several years ago.   For me, hunting is 90% about the challenge/experience and 10% about the kill.  This tag fits the experience category and to me, was a lot of money, but a great value for the opportunity that it provided.  Of course I had a “score” goal, but more importantly, I wanted to share the experience with my dad and brother, I wanted to kill the deer in my home stomping grounds (Whitman County) and I wanted to spent a lot of days in the field.

With the exception of the “score” goal, I was able to accomplish all.

Perfect. That's all you can ask for really. Excited to hear/see the rest of the story.

I was also able to affirm that I am NOT a whitetail hunter.     I have much admiration for those guys and gals who follow whitetail all year, hang stands, check cameras and then set stands for days and days, hours and hours.  That takes a level of dedication that I have not yet attained.

Lastly, before I post some pics, I wanted to thank Mtnmuley, Huntnnw, and Bango for just talking through tactics, timing, etc.  Having those kinds of resources on this site is a tremendous benefit to all of us and they helped me think my way through this hunt.

I shot my buck last night at the end of 12 straight days of whitetail heaven.  I saw some really good deer and 2 that gave me the slip time and again.  We don’t have a lot of big whitetail at home and recently, we have even fewer with the blue tongue outbreaks.  But, I had an absolute blast trying to scrounge one up!

I wore everyone out and was solo on the kill so pics will be atl.
