Whitetail raffle permit

Postby wawhitey » 07 20, 2017 •  [Post 1]

Well no moose tag, but i did draw the whitetail raffle tag! I get 1 additional whitetail buck, sep1-dec31, any weapon, any unit. Pretty damn cool! Elk / bear hunting is on the back burner this year.

Ive got all kinds of plans. But before i start working on my raffle tag, im sticking with the plan i had before i knew i won it. Ill be in my treestand with my bow september 1st, working on filling my general tag. Once thats done, ill take my sweet time enjoying the freedom of the raffle tag.

Going up to my "plan A" spot for early archery whitetail tomorrow. Stand is set, everything is good to go, but i just cant help myself. I have to check just one camera there. I told myself if i got a chance to check it before aug 1st i would, looks like ill make it just in time before my self imposed "do not disturb" deadline. Hopefully ill have pics of a bunch of big ole whitetail bucks, and not a bunch of lions and wolves.

My target for my general tag, early archery sept. The plan is to stick this guy early with my bow, put my otc tag on him, then get my rifle and start working on my raffle tag.

Plenty of other critters besides whitetail that i may see from my stand. More moose traffic there than anything.

Deer season is open next friday. If i can get this buck down early on, ill buy an archery elk tag and try to get a bull before i start working on my raffle tag. Elk opens the 9th. Im getting impatient for september to get here. Hope this guy shows up and i dont blow it! Im feeling ambitious this year.
