Sky Island junkie

I get it! I’m that dork who passes on good bucks first couple days because I don’t want my hunt to end and then shoot a little buck last day or so!😂 I’m getting better about that though!

The doubting Thomas’ wife got a tag. Either late wt or first Dec hunt south. Glad I was wrong about the draw! After 8 pm cc hit?!

In 3-4 years if not sooner these “poverty tags” will be the crème de la crème!😂

Goes down well with a big glass of Jack n Coke!😂

Nah hating on G&F is a full time thing with me! But yeah what’s everyone going to squabble about now?

Danged naysayers!!😂😂 Congrats guys!

😂 Yeah if they want to see a real revolt! A bigger one than is forming!

They’ve made a crap ton of mistakes over the decades that I can recall it’s just more hunters are fighting for fewer tags so the mistakes are exacerbated greatly

No not really. Buddy of mine like 5 years ago came up empty handed. His 5th choice was 35b first November wt hunt. He was so busy he didn’t fight them over it. I think there were something like 350 leftovers. I guess if so many think they’re getting screwed, just have to hunt anyhow!😯

Yeah I’m by no means a fan of this agency but I believe this is just about a lot more people putting in and not pussy footing around and just putting in to make sure they get drawn, equaling easy to draw tags 5 years ago are disappearing in the 1-2 pass.

Dude believe me I’m no fan of that agency for many reasons that I won’t post on here, I’ve got about 40 friends/relatives that have steadily gotten fewer tags over the last 5-6 years. Last year that number was about half got deer tags. In the last couple days I’ve checked in with these people and that number is 6 including me and my nephew. All I’m saying is I wouldn’t be surprised one bit but yeah I hope you’re right that it’s not over but I. This day and age how can they F it up so badly? I don’t get it

I can’t believe there are so many that haven’t seen this shoot coming!!

No bonus pass for me and nephew either. 1st choice late wt south, 2nd ,3rd and 4th wt south all 1st Nov hunts and 5 choice muzzy 33. Steal one from the leftover pile worst case! Probably got our second choice but who knows these days?

I’m in that camp that thinks it’s over. However your post about your boy possibly not drawing 30b youth with 5 points made me think I could be wrong. Hopefully I am

I sure would have thought 5 points would put him in the bonus pass for 30b but haven’t looked at those stats. What was the magical number of points to make the bonus pass last year?

There’s a good chance you’re right. I’ve been putting in just to get drawn for the last several years just because the thought of not having a tag sucks. That strategy is catching on. I’ve got 3 friends/ customers that put in last choice muzzy deer tags that have had leftovers in years past and they don’t even own muzzle loaders. What used to be 100% draw odds are not anymore because of this anxiety

Probably wasn’t the most relaxing project to do on Father’s Day changing out 47 year old body mounts!😂

Back at ya! Working on my “early bronco”! 😄 My happy place!

Neat gun! Yes match heads at 75 ft! I’d want this if I didn’t already have a BSA-Martini outfitted similarly that I haven’t shot in forever. GLWS!

I whined when she said zucchini lasagna tonight! This was my second plate!

Nothing fancy for us tonight but pure heaven! My wife makes an awesome chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. All smothered in white gravy!

Justifiable poaching your honor!

3 mega cab Cummins in the last 17 years. 1 injector, 1 transmission batteries and tires in about 620,000 miles. Knock wood!

I recently bought an early bronco after a few years of looking and if I had to settle with an auto trans I would have changed to manual but it had the original 3 spd on the column and it’s not getting changed. Love the manuals

Jap auto makers most definitely had our butts kicked in the earlier years. When I was a teen my dad and I pulled apart a few fords and Chevys and the tolerances were nowhere near as tight as a Nissan motor we pulled apart. On 60s-80s motors the crank bearing caps would fall into your hands when bolts pulled but the Nissan I remember having to tap the bearings and caps away from the journals. Yeah 100k was getting pretty close to rebuild time then but I think things have changed nowadays
