Title: PathfinderJR Draws Tag!
Post by: Pathfinder101 on June 14, 2011, 07:14:55 PM: I just checked the Front Door results on the WDFW site. It seems that PathfinderJR (my 12 year old) has drawn the Blue Mountains Foothills buck tag.
I will not tell you how many points he drew it with, since our house is made of wood, and therefore flammable, but I will say that I think he used up all his luck, and mine too (I had 7 points toward the same tag-been trying to draw it since 2006).
He is at church tonight, I just called and gave him the news (seems his best friend may have drawn a good tag too this year), and he's pumped.

Now, of course, the work starts. Trail cams will go up next week...stay tuned.... :tup:

It will be a good hunt whichever side he drew. Good luck.

I used up my luck this year getting the Lick Creek quality deer tag.

He drew BMF West. 149, 154, 172 etc... Closer to home, since we will be hunting after school and weekends mostly...
