Title: Finally!...Swakane
Post by: buckreaper on June 21, 2010, 06:29:28 PM: Took me twelve years but it finally happened. Modern Swakane! First permit I have ever drawn for any species. It was my second choice after Entiat.

:yeah: I've seen a couple of huge bucks that came out of the Swakane during the draw rifle hunt. Pray for some early snow, but there'll be deer there regardless. Have a great hunt!

Post by: gutsnthegrass on June 22, 2010, 07:17:02 AM: I drew this tag too! It was my second choice behind Entiat, but wasn't expecting much, I only had 2 points. I sure hope the weather cooperates, should be a good hunt. Good luck guys.

Another one of those guys I've heard about. I don't know how you do it. Hopefully I won't have to wait another twelve years to do it again. Congrats and lets get it done.
