That is so cool!  I drew my first goat tag in 1972 at 14.  My dad and I have had some really great hunts in the intervening years, but at 80 years old, if you asked him today, he'd probably say that was still his most memorable one.  Enjoy it to it's fullest!!

I picked up a special OIL Moose tag for unit 70 in Idaho.  Its a special permit for Disabled Veterans, only  5 issued statewide, but you get to pick species, GMU , AND IT 's  FREE! Believe it or not I also was drawn for a Wyoming cow elk tag through Wyoming Disable Hunters, a fantastic organization.  As luck would have it, the Wyoming hunt is scheduled for the first week of October, right in the middle of  the Idaho moose rut, so it looks like I'll be leaving Olympia in late September for quite a stretch, and hopefully returning with a trailer full of meat.  All of this following a 10 year  diet of tag soup in WA.  What a turnaround...... :IBCOOL:

Few reasons on the pack out
1. Shot him in that field. Didn’t have a tarp and didn’t want meat to get dirty
2. Had my pack frame and only wanted to make one trip
3. Had to get some good pictures with him so cutting him wasn’t an option
4. Why not throw A whole ram on your back and pack him 2 miles  :dunno:  :chuckle:
