Really hoping not to eat tag soup for a 3rd straight year but the way this season has gone, I'll probably have the wife pick up some celery and broth while grocery shopping tomorrow! :bash:

Post by: PolarBear on December 31, 2011, 11:48:16 AM: Just got back from my morning blacktail hunt and ran my tag through the shredder. Got 20 yards from a spike, a little 2X3 and his sisters but let them all go. This year's entire deer season consisted of this morning's hunt, that's it. At least in the few hours I was out I got to close in on some legal critters and walk out satisfied.

Post by: Angus on January 01, 2012, 06:50:16 PM: Just had a bowl of tag soup, that being said, the finale was fun. Went to a spot that I've seen alot of deer in and planned to just sit from daylight till dark. About 8:30 a couple does came in, I fully intended to take any deer that presented a shot other then a fawn or doe with fawn. These 2 does came in about 60 yards away and slowly made there way to within about 35 yds, just about the time I was ready to draw I saw another deer come in, this 1 was a 2 pt. buck and I quickly focused my attention on him. He came into 40 yards and offered a perfect broadside shot, when he looked away I drew and released the arrow which seemed like it flew in slow motion right toward the boiler room. Just as I was reaching for my tag that damn arrow found the 1 tiny branch between me and fresh backstraps :bash:.
Stayed there all day and saw 5 more does, none of which offered a shot :'(
Can't wait for next year and my multi-season elk tag ;)
