Wow, what a season! My
hunt started back in July
when my brother, Dallas,
called me at work. I believe that it
started out with something like this
- “You lucky man! Your name was
drawn for the super tag!” I couldn’t
believe it. That was the best $50.00
I have ever spent.

Super Tag 2007
After the initial shock wore
off, it was time to get down to business.
I started scouting and looking for a
“Wow” buck. I decided right off that
I was going to hold out for a buck in
the 220-inch+ class. This was a crazy
goal for a guy that hadn’t even broke the
200-inch mark yet; however, my mind
was made up - 220 or tag soup.
Fortunately for me, my
brother lives right in the middle of
the units that we were planning on
spending the bulk of our time in.
My personal scouting trips consisted
of my son Kody and I heading out
on Friday evenings and returning
home on Sunday. Dallas and I
both videoed many unique bucks;
