I came close to B hunts a few times. I have been blessed to hunt in C areas for a lot of my life. Now, when I need C hunts the most, due to age, most of my C hunts have gone away due to elders passing and farms getting chopped up or sold. I have been blessed to fill a lot of tags, and be along with a lot of close friends and family when they have filled tags. C is they way I'd go.

I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Boneaddict, you’re having a tough year but my advice is keep your foot on the gas and go hard for A this year.

I’m trying to put myself in your shoes and I think that probably wouldn’t be what I want, but it might be what I need.

I pulled the plug on round one.  I have no business going where I go with a groin injury. Hell even in top shape I usually come out looking like near death or almost wishing for it (figuratively).  Even my B hunt is pretty darn tough.   I have a couple day window coming up I might give it a second look.   I'll have to change up my gear a little (couple pounds) but I'm ready to go as soon as "I am ready to go".    We shall see.

C.
If the hunt is fun and camp is fun, I am good. Zero trophy desires for me. Hell, give me a doe tag every year and I would be happy.

 :yeah:

I like the challenge of the tough hunts, and really want to tag out on a Monarch, but I also really enjoy the hunt as I have gotten older.  I'm split between A and B.

Find a big buck in a B or C area!   :chuckle:

That’s always my goal.   Heading out to an A area on Saturday for a couple weeks.   I do like A rifle areas that open in Sept!!!

Option C.  I like to think that after my youngest is grown and off on his own that I'll go to option B or maybe even A.  (Let's be honest, I'm 50 now... option A will not be an option by the time Little Pathfinder is grown... :chuckle: )

... but then it occurred to me that by the time that happens... I'll probably have grandkids out in the field, right...? 

...back to Option C again...   :rolleyes:
