    Just like most antelope hunts get up there and scout as much as possible. Hit every road you can find and glass all day because they are out all day. Gonna be hot so have to get close to see what you're looking at with heat waves. Focus on a few bucks you like and then make about 20 stalks and hope for a shot then do it 20 more times for another shot. There are a lot of posts online about archery antelope tactics. If it's hot and dry find a water source they're hitting and put up a blind. There's not any specific spot in 4b (out of the pines) that is "better" for antelope. They're everywhere.

    Mother of God. I hit my Hail Mary. 23 south early rifle bull. Holy #&+#&:@+...

    Any guide recommendations other than the Pounders, Krogh, or A3?

    Congrats! How many points? so I can hate you more.

    Usually card hits Friday and have results up by the next Friday or go into the next week Monday or Tuesday. But with charges on Wednesday this time I don't see why they shouldn't be out by end of this week at latest.

    Have you noticed the price of diesel and gas lately? People have no qualms about laying out $50K for a  car or twice that for a truck or 10X's that for a house. 

    One thing that people don't take into consideration is how many hours a guide ('s) spend scouting, cost of insurance, NFS Permits. Spare me me PLZ. For me, it's never about the money.

    They charged the same last year when gas prices were half as much. I guess these other top outfitters doing it for $5500 are losing money. And yes people tend to lay out large amounts of money for necessary things in life like vehicles and houses. Not so much for late rifle elk hunts. Even less likely when you're hunting sub par units like you drew. If money is no issue then more power to you. For most people, getting a guide is a once or twice in a lifetime event so money is definitely a factor.

     Just to point out a few mistakes--there are photos and the prices are what they are, since Brandon was elected.  Do your own research on the prices.  If you'd like to meet up, I'll be happy to produce both weapons for your viewing, then you can testify to the rest of the herd that it was all real.  You're right "Good riddance" 

    No, please don't go, you've shared so much knowledge with the site and have helped so many here. It will be a great loss.

    If we are going off of last years CC hit date & draw results date, the date in the info booklet this year that tags will be mailed by, and the date this year and last year that you may submit leftover tag applications, the draw result date should be March 17th. (Hope its sooner but not betting on it)

    Last year was March 20th because they screwed the pooch and the draw was a disaster. If things go as supposed to I would think cards could be hit (hopefully) next Friday the 25th. Draw results 1 1/2 weeks after that so first or second week of March.

    What couespursuit said is correct. The only time you don't have a chance at second choice is if you're in the bonus pass for first choice. Which isn't the case for either of those hunts with 23 points. All the computer will do is if your name gets pulled in the random pass it will check first choice for tags and if nothing left it will look at second choice and if nothing left you didn't draw.
