just got a $280 hit for a late elk hunt Nov 10-18th. im not sure if it's mine or my wifes. problem is she is due to have our second child on the 14th of Nov. both of us had less than half of max points so we probably wouldn't draw again for 5+ years. if she drew it we are turning back in, what should i do if i drew? whats the policy for turning tags back in?
Elk tag dilema
- Thread starter rydub01
- Start date
central mountains manti, not much service where i hunt it. she's telling me to go anyway. the way i look at the draw odds, there's a 2/3 chance she drew it to 1/3 for me. she had 13%, i had 6.8%. also i am in a wheelchair and will probably get an extension to hunt. crossing my fingers.

My little brother was due the day that my dads once in a lifetime bison hunt started. My mom told my dad that as soon as she had the baby and everything checked out that we were going on the bison hunt. My dad didn't even have any choice. My mom ended up having my little bro 2 days before the hunt started, and we drove down the day before the opener. My dad got his buffalo opening morning and we were back home the next day.

Haven't you heard.......two things you never do during hunting season.......get married and have kids (birthdays).
HAHA yeah i knew it would come back and get me some how. funny thing is my dad missed my birth by 4 hours because he was on the same mountain we drew. i turned out ok and my ma hasn't divorced him yet
thanks for all the suggestions and stories.anybody else have any luck turning there tags in and pushing it back until the next year?

If you wife drew out she can get a variance with a Dr. note. My wife did this 2 years ago we found out she drew for mt. goat but was pregnant. We went in to the division office and they had a paper we filled out and had the Dr. fill his part The division reviewed it, once it was approved they gave her the same tag for the next year with no fee. It was pretty easy really. So maybe hope it's her than no problem.
Good luck either way

When I was in the service and some guys wife was having a baby, and he wanted to be there, the Navy said,
"You only need to be there to make the baby, you don't need to be there to give it birth"
Makes sense to me in this case.......LOL!
"I could eat a bowl of Alphabet Soup and
sh!t a better argument than that!"

Ouch! That is a dilemma. If your wife is anything like my wife it would be a no brainer to turn the tag back in!
If you haven't learned this by now, women are crazy when they are pregnant! Hormones are fluctuating, emotions are on the surface and they tell you to do one thing but really they are just testing you to see if you really do "love" them. Never, ever trust a pregnant woman during her last trimester. Trust me, I speak from personal experience. It has led to PTSD for me and every year it gets brought up by family, friends and sometimes her.
Sorry, but somebody needs to warn you about the darkside
On a different note, if this is your first baby she will probably go a week later. So just do it.
Good luck, but be in tune to what she is really saying or it will come back to haunt you. (Hopefully, your wife is not like mine when she is pregnant).

Congrats Russ,
You always seem to have a Nevada elk tag. How is that?

Aren't you from Utah? that means your most likely mormon and are working on becoming a god right? well that means you probably will breed faster than a fly which means you should only apply for bonus points until you two are done with making kids. by that time you will have 30 bonus points and can go hunt anywhere you want.
Just sayin.

Exactly what does that have to do with anything?

That's some funny schnit right there. Don't care who you are...
Humor aside, I'd turn the tag back if it was me. I've only drawn four elk tags in my life. With one of them, my daughter was born in mid August. Archery season opened two weeks later. I tried to keep it to a minimum and only hunt weekends in Sept. Didn't matter, it lit a schnit storm and I'm still getting crap about it 10 years later...

Wow stinky, that was out there. im not really a religious man or a rabbit so that doesn't really come into play. anyways thanks for the responses. i think ill be able to hunt it if i draw due to an extension i get for being in a wheelchair. now i just have to wait and hope that its my name on the tag. ill keep everyone updated.

In case none of you were aware I write on here to make myself and my wife laugh. I still think that one was friggin hilarious. My wife called me a jerk again but I don't care I got a good laugh out of myself and thats all that matters.
I don't know about you guys but me and the voices in my head entertain ourselves all day long. lol

Sounds like you are the kinda guy to give a girl an STD and laugh at HER for having the STD.
