Official 2010 tag soup thread

Tag Soup on my Multi-Season Deer, Elk, Bear, and Cougar Tag.  Havn't been waterfowl hunting, or small game hunting this Fall/Winter.

I spent 8 or 9 afternoons during Archery and a few hours in the afternoon 1 day during Modern Firarm season trying to fill the multii-season deer tag.  

Needless to say I didn't kill s*@t.

Deer and elk tag soup for me.  Hunted the elk where they weren't, and the blacktail with bones on their heads pulled a serious dissappearing act on opening day.  

The lesson learned on my first year of hunting blacktail: No matter how easy you think it will be, it won't be.

tag soup for me on multi season deer, multi-season elk, and spring bear permit.

I learned a lot about spring bear hunting, but did not connect.  Saw one small bear.

Multi-season Elk - Had some of the best archery Elk experiences I have ever had, and had multiple opportunities where I just couldn't get a shot.

Multi-season deer - sadly no great opportunities on this one.  I spent too much time in Montana during the heart of the late season.

Expensive season, but learned a great deal about an area I wanted to learn more about.  24 days in the field is a new record for me and my wife appreciated that I spread that out from September through December.

25 days in the field had some elk give me the biggest adrenaline rush of my life, but no shots. Could have taken a few does.but decided to pass got close to a few nice bucks, no shots. Saw 3 bears one at 40 yards and I missed right over his back. Shot him for 50. It happened fast. Tag soup for everything for me.

I had Tag Soup for Elk and Second Deer

Tag soup for eastern spike bull and western deer.  All modern.

I only get out for 3-4 days for elk, and I did not get out for late deer. I saw many more animals this year while out, so that was an improvement.

I'll add my elk tag to the soup pot. Not for lack of tryin though. Bear and cougar tags also.

My work sacked most of my elk tags...sent me to Japan the weekend it opened...and came back when it CLOSED...Deer was a bust...saw fur..and BONE but not enough POINTS on it...  Was in Japan for part of Turkey, the rest was spent getting a new hunter a bird...  Bear, saw a sow w/ a young'un...so left her be....and cougar the same.

That and working 1200 hours of OT kind of puts a damper on things....

Great lesson learned for next year though bud
