had this tag in 2016, a 2nd choice selection, blowing 10 points.
I filled the tag, the hunt was good, in the outdoors better than being at the office, but.....MOST DISAPPOINTING DRAW PERMIT i EVER HAD!
Of 15 bucks glassed, not one would score over 150. And only 1 of those bucks was a mainframe 4x4.
Covered alot of back country terrain away from the roads, no road hunter here.
and I knew the unit well, from Iron-Blue-Mineral Creeks, up to Teanaway Ridge Trail, Dickey Creek basin, and high country up main Teanaway road.
Had snow conditions, cold temps, should have been perfect, wasn't.
and wolves are worse today versus 6 years ago. I spotted wolves at distance thru spotter on 3 different days of my 8-day hunt.
