May be a dumb question but haven’t done this before so I’ll ask anyways. I went to go buy a turkey tag and she asked if I was going to be doing any big game this year. I said yes and she said that if you buy a big game tag with your turkey tag you’ll get it at a discounted price. When I got the receipt, I got charged 64.90 for the deer w/ discount and 15.40 for the turkey. The way she said it made it seem like I’d be buying a deer tag with a discounted turkey tag.

That bird was cut up and I mounted its fan to a really nice board, and cut off the feet... I wish I'd known what a trophy I had at the time... that's a score of 93.5 good enough for 14 best in VA... Really wish I had that bird stuffed ..read more
