I wish they would change the rules and at least allow a non hunter to join you during the hunt. I think it would encourage a lot more hunters to take the late evening shot. I know many hunters that passed up on animals because it would be too late on the pack out.
Good job Flyguy. Brag about that story, you deserve it!

Congratulations. Looks like an awesome success rate! And I know there were several non recovered as well
I’d be against the non hunting partner too. Anyone that passes a shot cause of the work involved either 1. Made a good call, cause it wasn’t what they wanted… or 2. Is in the wrong sport mode.
Good hunting fellas! (And ladies if I missed one)

One of the reasons I said this was because in years past when we had the in-person orientation they would tell us that we needed to get the game out within one hour after shooting time. They even said "if you are deep in unit 8 and you cannot get it out within one hour, don't shoot it. It looks like that rule is no longer in effect so that is that.

Major congrats to all the successful hunters. Lanwr continues to be my nemesis and I dont know if I will be back, at least for an archery hunt. I planned to stick it out all 5 days no matter what but what happened late on the fourth day ended it for me. The big 8 I mentioned before came back out and gave me a perfect broadside opportunity at 40 yards but I choked and made a bad shot. I mean a really bad shot! The kind of shot an inexperienced rookie would make, and that's exactly how I felt. I cant stand to make a deer suffer and I was (still am) so upset about it that I didnt hunt the last day. To make it worse this makes two years in a row that I hit a good buck but couldnt make a recovery. Last year I made a good shot on a big 8 at 20 yards in the exact same location and couldnt recover him even with another tbh'r helping me track for about 3 hours. Had a friend helping me on this one too and we tracked blood for over an hour till we lost it then continued looking for blood for another hour before giving up. On a good note this was my friends first ever drawn hunt and he almost got a cow that he stalked to within 38 yards before being busted.
