I buy a second license because it's cheap insurance to fill the freezer. Invariably, if you only carry a cow tag you'll only see bull elk, and vice versa.

Guess I should have pulled an OTC tag of the opposite. and when we pulled for a moose tag they said HAHAHAHA

You've been there, done that, too. Probably most hunters who've been around a while. The more you work at it the better you can play the game and beat the odds. Preparedness, dedication, luck and skill sometimes comes together marvelously.
