Title: NE Raffle Package moose Elk wt
Post by: videoman on December 01, 2010, 04:29:21 PM: After about 35 days of moose hunting I found the one. I was looking for a moose with big fronts and found it. To let people know I killed this moose in the same time frame as a permit tag and had no more of an advantage as the next guy. Turned down some whoppers this year and didn't even kill the biggest scoring moose. One of the funnest hunts I have been on. Enjoy.

Post by: TheHunt on December 12, 2010, 04:52:03 PM: That is a good one for sure. So you have the story?
Title: Re: Raffle moose tag down
Post by: wa.hunter on December 14, 2010, 07:17:49 AM: You probably will get a story one of these days as he is still over there looking for a whitetail and a elk. He is seeing quite a few whitetails just not the right one yet and a few elk with the same scenario. Seems a little harder than we thought to find a big elk. Weather seems to be a problem a lot of the time as it is either raining even at 6000 feet or foggy. I think he is on day 46 now and yes his new bride seems to be very understanding. She knew what she was in for when they got married and especially after they landed in LA from their honeymoon and while standing in customs he got the call about the tag he had drawn. Problem was she thought she was a instant millionaire, only to find out it was a little different type of lotto tag or raffle tag. She has still been great through it all and I do wish we could all be that lucky.

That you Martin? haha I was thinking the same thing that she must be very forgiving to let him go that long. :chuckle:

Right on Joe. This is Adam. Hope you guys find your elk and deer soon!
Title: Re: Raffle moose tag down
Post by: wa.hunter on December 18, 2010, 07:42:04 AM: From the sound of things he might have to pick up a pair of shed and put them back on something. Sounds like they are falling off pretty fast. Last year I ran into that problem around the 25th of Dec. seems earlier this year.

Title: Re: NE Raffle Package moose Elk wt
Post by: videoman on December 28, 2010, 02:57:03 PM: This NE raffle package is a lot to endure in one season. The time and effort it took to take down trophy quality animals is not as easy as one might think. The NE corner of WA is thick and rugged. It feels good to be done even though the whitetail didn't meet my goal. Hope all you guys enjoyed the pics. Good luck to the guy next year.

Post by: RaffleMule on December 28, 2010, 03:03:32 PM: You're crazy........Congrats on completing the trifecta.

You definitely found the right Bride. Was it 50+ days? I was getting burnt out at 20 so I can't imagine the time and effort you spent on these tags. There is nobody out there who would have put in more time than you in filling these tags and with Stud animals to boot. You deserved it....

Is that moose at Buzzi's yet? I want to see it....

Post by: Cougeyes on December 28, 2010, 03:48:39 PM: Nice work videoman you did those tags justice. That's a damn nice whitey too, lots of meat in the freezer...you better take next season off since you wont have any room in the freezer or on the wall. Congrats!!

What order would you rank the hunts as the funnest as i'm sure they were all fun?

Not some guy who only made it out for one weekend because he could not get away from work or because his kids had soccer. Great job and hopefully you can rest now.
