[QUOTE="Flatrock, post: 238996, member: 1001"] I had the 4C tag this year and did not fill it. Hunted 100% public land. For a few reasons, I've hardly hunted the badlands before but was able to do a little bit of scouting prior to the season. Had some help from a friend on where to go and altogether, hunted 8 full days. Most days I saw the truck very little in the daylight and hunted hard. Was very surprised how many forkhorns are out there. I figured I saw around 75-80 bucks and I bet 50-60 of them were forkhorns. Saw maybe half a dozen bucks that were 140-160 but never anything bigger than that. I wasn't going to shoot anything unless it was at least respectable and don't regret it. Next year, somebody can shoot one of the ones I passed when it is 160+. Saw 3 or 4 in the 140-160 range on the last 2 days of season so those should be very nice bucks next year. One thing that blows my mind are the guys that wait 4-8 years for a 4C tag and then just cruise Magpie, Blacktail and Frank's Creek roads. I mean really? You just expect to see a 170" standing by the road when there is a hunter going by every 5 minutes? I couldn't believe how few people I saw out walking. I never saw 1 bootprint more than a mile from a road. Hell I never saw a hunter in the field more than a quarter mile from a road. I don't understand people. [/QUOTE]
