Title: tag soup for me
Post by: rasbo on June 14, 2009, 09:17:40 AM: well this is the first year Ive hunted bear and didn't tag one.the last two weeks its allergies killing me.I cant have the shots I need because of liver testing going on,still haven't found anything out on that.trucks breaking down,low snow,funerals..I can make all the excuses but that's just life..I called in a small one and passed.I call that okay in my book.I had some good hikes found 3 sheds so all in all I'm okay with the turn out.Oyeah I did get the chocolate bear back from peters,it was 19inch so I did get a bear,LOL

Post by: Branden on June 14, 2009, 10:37:11 AM: I guess thats why they call it hunting and not killing. At least you hunted hard in there and didn't waste the tag like some guys do.
