Finally!...Swakane
« on: June 21, 2010, 06:29:28 PM »
Took me twelve years but it finally happened.  Modern Swakane!  First permit I have ever drawn for any species.  It was my second choice after Entiat.

Make this one count fellas.  I have seen 180" bucks come out of there if you work for it.  Good luck and Congrats.

 :yeah:  I've seen a couple of huge bucks that came out of the Swakane during the draw rifle hunt.  Pray for some early snow, but there'll be deer there regardless.  Have a great hunt!

I drew this tag too!  It was my second choice behind Entiat, but wasn't expecting much, I only had 2 points.  I sure hope the weather cooperates, should be a good hunt.  Good luck guys.

Another one of those guys I've heard about.  I don't know how you do it.  Hopefully I won't have to wait another twelve years to do it again.  Congrats and lets get it done.
