What's it like getting a special permit tag for the first time?
elk311:
Got my one and only bull elk permit in 1992. Blue Mountains Peola "A". I think that there were 2 or 3 permits that year. First time applying, first time elk hunting and after 9 days of hunting I got my 6x6 bull ! :bfg:
With 7 points and counting I'm still waiting for my next bull permit, 18 years later ! :'(

I drew a late buck permit for Teanaway in 1992. I hunted one day, it was too foggy and so I didn't see many deer, gave up and went pheasant hunting for the rest of the week instead. :bash:
Special permits just weren't that big of a deal back then.

here are a couple pics (hopefully) of my 06 moose from 49 degrees north drawn with 2 preference points. first pic is a small bull we saw a couple evenings before the opener. the second is me messing with him. we saw 4 bulls and 2 cows opening morning but it was so thick i couldn't get a shot. that evening we were heading over to the area we saw the small bull when we ran into this guy. hindsight i should have shot him with my bow as he was only 40 yards but the .338 did the trick. momma is happy. it took 4 of us to put him on his back to go to work.

funny ender to the story was one of the guys with us that trip had to go back home that day due to a previous engagement. that night he was talking to another buddy of his at home who knew someone else who had got drawn in the same area. he told him about the encounter with the small bull, the road we saw it on and the exact mile marker on the road. that info got relayed to the hunter and a few days later the hunter was rolling up the road at the spot and saw some cars parked along side the road. the hunter got out to see what was going on and some people were taking pics of a bull moose in the creek alongside the road. you know the rest of the story...the camera operators got a ringside seat to a moose harvest.
