Wow, never thought this would ever be something that I would be involved in. My dad-in-law drew a late Monroe rifle permit, and now his health has dwindled and he will be unable to go on the hunt. This has been quite a roller coaster with the thoughts of possibly having a crack at the legendary "Spider Bull", and maybe a crack at Chubbs, and then seeing Spider get harvested, the ride continues. I have tried to be very patient and calm, but as the hunt has gotten closer, the excitement was beginning to build. Now the decision has pretty much become final to send the permit back. I told my DIL that I had faith in him getting better to the point that we could go out and get him a nice bull, but he has so many ups and downs that he finally gave me the word that he can't see how he would be able to make it. He is going thru chemo for a blood disease, and now has a bad case of pnuemonia. I was going to hang on until the last week or so, but things look to dismal to hang on, and we would like whomever receives the tag to have some time to prepare.
We are hoping and praying that he will recover to where he can draw a permit next year and have a chance to take a "big stinky" before he moves on. With his points, we can get him a decent tag.
It is amazing the emotions that this thing we love called hunting can bring into our lifes!
So to whomever gets his tag, good luck, and if you are a MM member, please let me know and maybe I can still get to come and "watch"!
