My 2019 Season/Year In Review (all pictures)

[teej89]

This was a wild year for sure and this is the abridged version of my live hunt thread for people who aren't interested in long reads(I don't blame you ha!)

This year I ended up having 3 licenses in 3 states, PA (spring turkey), MT (Archery Elk), and WA (anything that flies) and I feel I had a pretty productive year as well as learned some great lessons from turkey calling to archery equipment malfunctions(not me but my friend) and how to go insane yet become extremely addicted chasing little birds that wield jet packs in sheep country. Also as I did last year, I met some more great HTers and had a great time hunting with them!

Enjoy!

Looks like 2019 will be a hard one for you to beat. Good luck trying in 2020!

Be honest, what did you think of Wall Drug? haha

For years we drove past there to hunt and my buddies and dad never let me stop haha it was all about the build up, would I stop again? Maybe.

I'd like to get another one of their coffee mugs as it's a great conversation starter during meetings as people are intrigued why I have a mug that says South Dakota

Haha, I understand completely! I always tell everyone they are probably going to be disappointed. It's just a big tourist trap in my eyes. That being said, I stop there in the off peak season and look around myself....

Thanks! And that's a negative, I called it in to the G&F giving coordinates but the lady didn't really seem like they were going to do much about it since I thought it died of natural causes. Wish I could have kept it tho!
