Tag Soup

[R.K.]

Who else is making a pot this year?

Last five days of hunting, and I can't say I ever saw an antler. Not exactly my best season, but I'm glad I could get out.

Yeeaap, I have two pots of it! Heavy seasoning is required.

 

[Mountainguide]

Yep, hunted all but 2 days of deer rifle, and came home empty handed

I had four days to hunt elk mid rifle season this year and never laid eyes on one - I've got a MT general and B tag to through in the pot...

Batch on the stove right now...

I have 1 elk tag, 2 deer tags in the pot and for dessert is a turkey tag

Surprisingly, one MT Speed Goat doe tag is marinating!

 

[JustinsDad]

I got an elk and two speed goats in the freezer but all my deer tags are simmering.

18 days of archery hunting whitetail, a big pot of soup coming my way. On to a cow elk tag

I got some antelope but I was thinking of having a shredded cow tag salad as a side.

I'll be eating a big batch of tag soup this year. I'll even be nice enough to share it with my dad . But my wife shot a buck though. I'll never hear the end of it . Hey babe remember that year that I shot a deer a buck and you didn't . Then the story starts of the heart shot of a lifetime.

A very hearty batch this year. Main flavor is a Oregon antelope tag. With a bear tag on the side. Not for lack of effort though.

I'm still holding out hope that I'll squeeze in a fly in, late, MT elk/deer hunt to fill my A tags!

Another year, another pot of soup. Least I notched a deer tag this year. Need to make more time and skip the day hunting around the local area.

Bad news for you- deer season is done. Only thing left is shoulder hunting for cow elk. That's the only reason my elk tag is still on the chopping block and not already in the pot.

Yup, elk and venison. But this was the first year I passed on several smaller bucks (some on the last day), so it will taste a little less bitter. I also got to help friends and family get their first deer and I get to hunt wolves until spring. Life is good regardless of the lack of antlers this year.

I can live with that. I missed a nice buck, stalked other decent bucks, and pass on small bucks. My deer tag got a workout. But my elk tag never even got hunted. That's the one that hurts, right in the wallet lol. I've been debating calling a Bio that I talked to preseason. He'd mentioned calling him about shoulder seasons if we weren't able to fill our elk tags. But I'm having a hard time thinking I'll actually get the time to get up there.
