Very nice, good luck to your son's hunt.

You would be in the bonus round for north of the canyon. Your odds are 5% or below for elsewhere with a rifle. Back before archery hunting was cool I got alot of tags (5) I am hoping they open up a particular unit for archery so I can go after a particular buck.

oh man some good memories there...

They do sell them singles. They run about 199 for 1

Every year, people draw with little to no points. Keep on playing!

Thanks for offer but need one that works. All the rain got the grass a growin.

you are basically less than 2% for 95% of the rifle hunts.

Beautiful bull!!

Awesome bull! Good luck to your son.

Well ... we finished up in 5BN without much luck, but had a lot of fun. We did get on a MASSIVE BULL but he was an elusive SOB and never gave us shot opportunity. Even though they were quiet, and not coming in to calls, we got on bulls daily. It was nice to see the animals, even not rutting. We did have some great learning experiences when it comes to dealing with other hunters, and it was mostly positive. Couple of times my son got to his blind and someone was in it, using it. Each time that happened, they volunteered to move on, and each time my son told them "No ... 1st come 1st serve ... just leave my blind as you found it please. Thanks." I was proud of his response there, and pleased that the other guys offered to move, even though they didn't have to. Showed respect and etiquette all the way around. On the other side of the coin, my buddy and I went to scout a tank with his granddaughter and some guys were camped on both sides of the road leading into it. We waived as we drove by, and low and behold they followed us in. When we got out they said "We are hunting this tank ... we have blinds there." We informed them we were just checking it out, but they acted like it was "theirs", even though no one was actively on the tank. We did walk it ... then left. Later, my buddy said he felt like they were trying to "be intimidating". Not sure if they were, or if he just got that feeling ... but it sure doesn't have any place in hunting if they were. I kind of see it like my son lived it. 1st come 1st serve. If I am late to where I want to hunt ... so be it. If I take a break and come back to someone hunting it ... so be it. I just have to be committed to where I want to be and be the 1st one there ... and stay until I am DONE. Maybe next year, my 26 points will get me drawn. I'll try to have my son's attitude ... though there will be a LOT fewer tags when I get drawn.

I bet your ecstatic, what a great looking big butt Bull congrats!!!

I was archery antelope hunting in 2B years ago out south of the power plant and was sitting in my truck glassing some flats. It was hot as heck so I was sipping on a few cold cervesas. I spotted another vehicle and it was coming my way and seemed to be in a hurry. As it got closer I noticed it was a sheriff car. I quickly finished what was left of my beer and buried the can in the back seat under my rain jacket. I was immediately thinking that they had watched me (in the middle of nowhere) drinking and thought I was going to be hauled in. I was thinking 'You've got to be kidding me" Well they pulled up next to me and instesd of arresting me, they asked if I knew how to get to the highway from here. Oh, thank god, they were just lost and pretty embarrased about it. I pointed them in the right direction and they beat cheeks out of there.

In 2023, I had an archery elk tag, which my brother from IN joined me. We had a great time, but the rut was very lackluster. While riding the sxs back to camp, my brother wrote this "article" regarding the poor rut, in Paul Harvey fashion. Elk Times Article Stand by for Mews On 15 September 2023, Elk Hunting Season kicked off as it has year after year as far back as anyone can remember. Hunters had anticipated this event all year and couldn’t wait to get started. What they didn’t know was... the rest of the story. In August there was an Annual Meeting between the Board of Bulls and the Council of Cow. President of the Board of Bulls Benjamin Bullwinkle made the following statement. "Every year we go through this ridiculous mating season which creates lots of fighting amongst our whole community. It seems as though we are stuck in a rut of some sort. Now, this may rub some of you the wrong way, others may get a chuckle but I am going to propose the following solution. I propose that Cows be divided equally amongst all Bulls that register prior to the Fall Equinox. This will eliminate the need for all the bugling, showing off, etc. There has been a Spike in noise complaints lately, so this should help. Ladies, you don’t always have to have the hunkiest Bull. Guys, you don’t have to have the hottest cows. I think we can all agree that this solution is best for our community." After this, a vote was taken and the proposal passed by a majority. Grunts, barks, glunking, and chuckling filled the room as they departed. Now you know, the rest of the story.

Now that the weather is getting real nice in New England, we dined outside last night with one heater going. Made fillet and poached lobster in a saffron butter sauce for the Mrs. I do have to say that it was mighty tasty.

Yes I know the 7RM is more capable then I am but you always gotta have the new shiny gadget. The 7RM will do everything my skill set allows but the 28 will do it faster. And more expensive.
