2025 Quality Chewuch Tag

<< < (5/6) > >>

Ridgerunner:
Here's my opinion on these late tags.  Throw score out the window, go in and plan on hunting hard, enjoy hunting muleys in the rut with minimal competition and when you find a buck you like kill it so you have a tangible reminder of the great time that you had on this tag that probably took decades to draw. 

Reality is most guys don't shoot high scoring deer on these WA Quality hunts, there are better states to do that in for sure.  These hunts can still be amazing and memorable even if you don't shoot the biggest one on the mountain.  I know the one I had over 20 years ago was, even though the buck only scored in the 140's. 

2MANY:
Exactly.

That being said these Skagit folks kill some big deer over there.

Thank you for sharing, MADMAX. It looks like you have had some great success there.
I was hoping to avoid the Rendezvous area, well mainly the Gunn Road. I know a lot are taken there. There are some great areas around there, but yes property boundaries are huge there.
That's a beautiful bear, too.
I'm excited!
I was really hoping someone else held this tag too! Not yet, on here so far.

Very well said!
I will not pass on one that I feel is right or worked my rear off to get to. If I have.a plan or feeling about a certain area, hike in and it all comes together, for me that is a huge accomplishment. I love a great story  to go with every animal.
We will be over during the general season, so my boyfriend can hunt . Reading your post helps take a bit of pressure off myself, when I can put it in that perspective. I appreciate that.
It will be a fun season for sure. Thank you again!
