My Handle Holds True...Again

[luckless]

I hope others had better success than I had on the Unit 34 late rifle hunt. I hunted it hard, but came up empty on my first public land hunt. I saw a few does and a TON of turkey. I even had a flock of turkey feed their way past me at a distnce of fifteen feet. We couldn't scout much this year, due to finishing up the construction of my cabin in under two months. The only finished the weekend prior to the hunt. Well, better luck next year...

Sorry you were not successful, but being out is what counts most! Seeing the game you saw and just having a tag is a success in my opinion. I hunted like crazy in 53 early elk archery and only saw 2-elk in what I consider to be the toughest hunt I have ever been on. I would have been happy to see some turkey!

Hunter1,
You could not be more on target with that. Last year, I wrote a story about my "successful" no-shot hunt and MM posted it in it's stories section. I had a blast.

The only bad part was finding evidence of three seperate poachings. I found a poached doe, a poached turkey and I think I found a poached cow elk... It really made me sick...
