Title: Needing some now land to hunt
Post by: Labs07 on July 31, 2013, 12:03:04 PM: Does anyone on the site have any land in GMU 124? I am looking for some new places to fill this years tag. I have a any buck tag for Nov 20 to 24th.

Post by: Labs07 on July 31, 2013, 12:15:22 PM: No not yet just kind of checking things out right now. I have lots of land in 117 to hunt but have a good tag in 124 so I just need to find some land in the area to pull out a buck. i'm really a meat hunter so size really does not matter to me, I've killed some big whities in the past but they were not great eating.

Haha! That is so funny. Sounds like a bad translation. :chuckle:

Post by: turkeyfeather on July 31, 2013, 03:11:51 PM: I'm not trying to totally sound dense here, but the only difference you get from a regular otc tag is that you get 5 extra days, but you have to hunt in 124 on those extra days. I have never played the permit game so I really don't know.

Post by: benhuntin on July 31, 2013, 03:17:51 PM: Those 5 days are very good days. Unless you get something lined up you will be in paper ground. Which would be good to. We find some good sheds up there.

Post by: BULLBLASTER on August 01, 2013, 07:53:02 AM: As far as I'm concerned those are the best 5 days to be in the Whitetail woods in the pnw. Was a sad year when archers lost those days.

Post by: Labs07 on August 01, 2013, 10:19:36 AM: I would agree, they are great days! As a kid I remember tagging along with my dad, gradpa and great grandpa for the thanksgiving deer hunt. One year we killed three bucks in 3 hours then went bird hunting and took home three limits! Love that time of year!
