Title: Gardner Quality Tag
Post by: H2Ofuzz on October 26, 2020, 06:29:19 PM: I drew a Garder Quality tag this year. Headed up Saturday for the duration of the season. Trying to track down some of the other tag holders if anyone knows of any.

My buddy shot a 27 1/2 inch in regular season. But he was the only one out of our group of 15.

Post by: huntnphool on November 04, 2020, 02:27:23 PM: The weather doesn’t play much into it in my experience, they will be rutting for the next couple weeks regardless. :twocents:
