        Go figure, I on principal did not buy an elk tag this year, because the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in their infinate wisdom added a youth rifle cow hunt that runs through the archery season.
        As I am sitting here typing this out there are 2 bulls outside bugleing their dominance back and forth to each other.

        Even without a tag it is the beautiful music of the mountians that reminds me that wild places should be protected for the wild that lives there.
        Good luck to all of you chasing the mighty wapiti this fall…

          Time to pour a wee dram put up your feet and just listen to the music. They will be bigger and taste sweeter next year.

            I believe that falls under “Murphy’s Law of Tag Selection”. Enjoy the show. Heck, that’s half the fun anyway; just getting close to the action. You get to shoot them over and over in your mind. 😀

              I did the same thing with Turkeys this year–a turkey tag cost more than a bear tag:roll: Turkeys have almost become vermon here and they want us to pay that price!?! Well I had a plot offered to me last year that was full of birds bugling (I relate everything to ELK) and had to turn it down.

              I hope to find some elk this weekend.

                      They know you don’t have a tag, that is why they are next to you. They so know you don’t have one. 😀
