Nice buck Boom. My guess is the Alta permit hunters didn't fair as well as they used to. Damn shame the population and quality has gone so far south.

Cant be true, why else would they increase those permits unless population and quality have increased as well?

Of all the stupid changes they have made the last several years, increasing the quality permits throughout the Methow Valley this year was among the worst!

I was just gona start a thread on how you guys think the rifle permits did this year.  It sounds like some very nice bucks were taken but overall numbers don't seem very good, unless most don't post?  My friend and I were talking about what to put in for next year with 10 points, I'm glad I didn't draw for the swakane or entiat this year with no snow to bring down the migration bucks.

They were being compassionate to the hunters, let us have hem before the wolves eat them!

There were some toads taken out of those two units this year by permit hunters.

[/quote. I know there was a couple very nice bucks taken, I would rather have the snow if I drew a tag.  I'm glad I didn't draw this year, but I know it's still a good tag.

Thats a Great buck. The eyegaurds look massive!

The lack of snow made for some average bucks being harvested in areas that would normally produce Hogs, that should make
the 2014 season that much better, unless Bigfoot eats em all.

Well, when do the natives have to quit hunting? That's the unknown variable in the equation.
