Default I forgot to buy my sons elk tag

We were supposed to leave Monday morning for the Wilson Unit youth hunt. His hunting partner got his, because his dad is not an idiot. Excuse me while I go vomit.

If this makes you feel any better I bought a youth tag for my daughter three years ago and I had forgot that she was scheduled for surgery right after her soccer season. Total waste of money and the youth tag and I looked real stupid after telling everyone for months we were going at work.

I know how you feel I was lucky to draw my Alsea doe tag,one of the 500 tags issued to 4500 applicants. When I bought my sportsman-pac I did not think to also pay for my doe tag DUH-OOOOOOO!!!!!
I am a hard core hunter and have never blew an opportunity like this. This was also my first year archery hunting so I have been looking forward to harvesting a deer with a bow ever since I got my sucess card. Just dont know what happened

ARGHHHHHH!!!!
I feel your pain Snap.
I've come very close to pulling a similar boner--which made me start buying them all as soon after the draw date as possible.
Maybe a trip to Idaho next fall would help him forget about this one that got away

I don't know if it makes you feel any better, But I once drew a "hair tag" for a good unit, went out of state for a tournament and had to take off for a big out of town job and missed the August 1st cut off date to purchase that tag. [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]

I was so upset that I forgot my wifes birthday on August 8th... [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]

I was so :blush: and she was so [img]graemlins/icon_argue.gif[/img] that I and then

I still hear about that one

Sorry to here that. I bet both of you are very disappointed.

At least you did not back into your wife's friends SUV this weekend backing your rig out of the garage. [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]

Well, if it makes you feel any better, THANKS FOR REMINDING ME TO GET MY SON'S JANUARY COW TAG AND I'M NOT KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think we will go get this tonight. Well, I'm sorry to hear it happened. I almost wish they still made you get all your tags by a certain deadline, I think it was easier to remember that way.

Ubetcha, Buckgtr. (MS)
Thanks for the kind words all, especially Gun Rod Bow, thanks to your story I feel relatively good. I did take a friend and his nephew on the hunt and he shot a cow at 4:00 this afternoon. Actually I don't know if I am more upset about not getting the tag bought, or because my son isn't as upset as I am. Oh well, he will get a chance at another good elk tag in 4 years, when he is 21. I still have 2 daughters that will probably go on that hunt next year. That means a new rifle! :grin:
