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.
