For the people that think the G&F should not call people when a card is declined. You will be singing a different tune when you have CC fraud between the card update period and when they actually charge the card. No fault of the card holder when things like this happen but the bank will deactivate your card immediately and sometimes you don't even know right away. But, I do agree that applying with a card that expires today was a bad idea. My debit card expires today also, but I used a different card know that was the case.

10 days from now is a Saturday.

I let my javelina hang for a while too. Like in a tree next to where I shot it.

I was just sick of listening to Donald trump and was looking for entertainment. Heard you have whisky and jerky?

If you heard the sarcasm it does.

Does anyone know if the G&F started charging credit cards yet?

I like how the lady gives everyone a different answer. I called 5 different offices last year asking if I received a leftover deer tag........got 5 answers. So basically we are firm on the draw being sometime between this afternoon and April 22nd? I feel better.

I'm sure the Donald can make a deal to get this fixed. And he will make it where we will draw so many tags we will get tired of drawing tags.

Going to be a lot of credit card issues if they wait 2-3 weeks. Stuff happens and cards get canceled with no fault to the owner. I worry because I'm not allowed to have my phone at work so I'll never receive a call saying my card is bad.

I heard about the Big Bo contract deal too. It's probably all of the above. Then when they start charging cards there will be issues with that too.

The problem with getting together to complain is all they will say is we have had our results by the date they stated we would have them...... or earlier....... for years. If we get tags or refunds by April 22nd then they did what they said they would do even if it was a train wreck to get there.

No big deal, I'll get it all back in a few months.

Mine got hit hard for NM yesterday....$1600

I never could get good arrow flight with those, my Whisker Biscuit kept popping them off my arrows every time I shot...... Just kidding, never used them, I wasn't willing to switch to a drop away arrow rest. They gained some momentum when they were the hot new item on Archery Talk a few years back. I haven't heard much about them in a long time.

I must be really lucky. I read about these problems all the time and have never had any myself with the online process. Of course, now that I say that, my elk app will probably vanish into thin air and the G&F will charge me double.

I have seen the latest odds. 4% is more better than 3%.

It's not really about shooting at animals from that far just practicing out that far. I rarely even shoot closer than 80 with my hunting bow but of the dozen big game animals I've killed the farthest one was 54. 60 yards really feels close when you have been launching arrows at 130 for months. Also, the form and bow tune it takes to shoot broadheads out that far will make you a much better archer.

I've had 3BN and it pretty much sucked. Saw goats every day but was too worried about getting killed by meth addicts to go after some of them. That area near Concho is creepy.

A slider/adjustable sight is a must- When I'm sighting my bow in at 100 I can tell if I'm off by 1 yard on my sight. At 20 yards I usually can hardly tell if I'm 2 yards off, there is a huge difference. I don't believe you can accurately shoot past 80 with fixed pins. The sight needs to be adjusted to the exact yard. I'm sure someone with fixed pins will argue that, but that's what I believe. Heavy arrows- Most would believe you need light arrows and a lot of speed, not true. I shoot a 480 grain arrow at 270 FPS and can almost always get my sight out to 120 yards or more. The heavy arrows carry better, have more energy, and drift less in the wind. I changed from 425 grain arrows moving at 295 fps recently. The difference on my sight tape was only 3 yards at 90. Think of it like a rifle bullet. At 1000 yards with a 7MM Mag do you want a 120 grain or a 180 grain bullet?

The first time I saw those I was cutting up a WT that my buddy killed in U29. We dropped everything and were about to leave with nothing but horns. Lucky we had phone service so I searched the interwebs a bit. Think they were called Nasal Bots and are very common in deer.

Very low odds but it's possible.

I hate work just a little bit less than normal this morning.

Welp, guess I'll be at work tomorrow.
