"drew a tag need help"

[jake]

seems like a lot of people are drawing tags but have no clue about the area they were drawn for. Learning a unit after you have drawn the tag is going to be extremely time consuming and make things very difficult for you guys, especially if your job doesnt allow it.

You know what is even more time consuming?  Learning all 15 units that someone may want to put in for prior to putting in for them, especially if your job doesn't allow you time to scout half the state.

Some of us don't have the desired tag locations anywhere near us and therefore, have to put in for tags in unknown areas.  Tell me where I could have put in for 2nd deer archery anywhere near Mason County?  If I would have gotten drawn, I would have made a scouting trip or two, if my job allowed.  I guess we could not put in for tags at all 

Your statement is ignorant.

right... im ignorant because i said "people are getting drawn for tags in areas they dont know? that its going to be hard to learn the units"?

[C-Money]

I don't know a bunch about the unit I drew a cow tag for. But I do know I wont get a Quilomene cow tag because they don't exist. There for I put in for a few units with in an hour or so of the house and hoped for the best. Now I can enjoy scouting a new area. Some nice folks on here have already helped get me pointed in the right direction to get started. Nothing wrong with that!

I like drawing hunts in areas that are new to me, and then learning those areas. That's one of the reasons I like hunting- I get to see places I would never see otherwise.
 
It's not hard to learn a new area. It just takes time, and GPS and online maps make the job easier.

Everybody's got to start somewhere. If it were easy, everybody'd be doing it.
