Man, I was thinking the same thing. Congrats to those who punched tags. We got into birds and gobbles and had a blast but couldn’t seal the deal.

Flight control wads are pretty crazy with buckshot too. I’ve seen some guns stack some tight 40-50 yard groups with those

@Cambow has a 243 ruger American listed somewhere in here for a good price

My understanding is it was like the old Winchester 1 of 100 or 1 of 1000 editions for the 1873 and 1876. All vanguards are guaranteed sub-moa. During testing, some obviously exhibit higher accuracy than others, and these are set aside for that series. I forget the specs for the old Winchester program but I believe the top 10% were going to 1/100 series and top 1% to the 1/1000 series or something like that. Similar concept but unknown on what level of accuracy above sub-moa designated it as one. From what I’ve heard from people with them, they are shooters, but there is no heightened accuracy guarantee. Nice rifle and GLWS

Interesting. What kind of range are you getting with that?
-
My wife was quick to point out that each shell costs about as much as just buying a frozen turkey. Not nearly as much fun though
-
So per the regs, not that you would but since it doesn’t specify size, buckshot would also be legal then?
-
I’m not sold one way or another yet honestly. More testing needed. Both targets would have been dead turkeys.

Funny you mention that, our next trip out was to shoot both closer and further to see how it did. The blended loads of TSS and lead are designed to address the issue you speak of where they are supposed to open a little faster up close but still have the shot density down range. From what I can find, the gel penetration is better than #4 lead at 40 yards. Only time will tell for us guess . I’ve heard the long beard is a crusher of a load but I’m having a heckuva time finding any in 20ga. Midway just got some in in #6

My son’s turkey gun is a 20 ga so the tss #9 was a little cheaper. Bottom target was a Remington #5 nitro turkey at 30 yards. Top target was a TSS#9 at 40 yards. It was impressive.

Not sure if you’re on there but rokslide usually has a few, may be worth a look too

Hoss, I forgot that aspect of the bonus pass that they go by point total, nice explanation. Thanks
-
My understanding is it’s a 10% non resident cap, but not a quota. Could be less but can’t be more. I think it goes by straight point total, stopping at the cap if they reach it, so the non-res tags would be interspersed. Non res may have something like tags 1, 4, 11 and 23 depending on BP amount. I’m just glad it’s so easy to figure out, yikes

Curtis, Bonus pass is 20% so would be tag 1-40. Looks like you drew in the bonus pass. Elk hunter, im still puzzled by 23 over 22. If the 23 hunt had been 100 tags that’s the bonus pass again. The only way it’s making sense would be if 20 people put in for the 22 hunt with 4+ bonus points this year. I’m curious to see the bonus point report. Good luck to both of you guys either way. Both are great tags
-
Son drew youth 23. Grandma drew late rifle bull 7w but I have a feeling she’ll transfer the tag to him and he’ll point guard his.
-
Just got hit for an adult tag so I’m guessing it was a declined card for someone but I’ll take it! Could be me, the wife, my mom or dad

Congrats on both and thanks for the write up. Sounds like a perfect day

I’m going to go with hacked. I have spoken with and dealt with the actual UggRedBilly but caution for sure at this point with the account issue
