Yes. You click the NR box but the way the lady explained it to me was the draw sorts you into the resident draw pool based on your hunting license number which starts with “LH”. I drew an elk tag once that statistically shoulda been impossible to draw as a NR with it so it must work.

I guess I woulda felt like an asshat for not wearing a mask, apologized and gone back out and got one. I would say writing an entire thread titled “F New Mexico” about it could warrant said chill pill.

The lady that was working there maybe was primary caretaker of her 90 year old grandmother? So yeah, F her and her grandma. If she wasn’t then some one she knows or you know probably is as well. So F them and their grandma too.

Agreed. It was in the 70’s here last weekend (our opener) then dropped to 6 this am after that big wind. It’ll change for sure. How are the bird numbers looking down there?

Awesome post!! Keep it coming!! 6 degrees and humid in ND this am. I’ve got thur-Monday off to try to smack one on our farm.

Just ordered a set of 8’s and 12’s. Probably won’t get them till after things are pretty well over here in ND.

I have a .28 nosler that is consider selling as I’d like to redarrel it with a shorter barrel for a suppressor. Wouldn’t be able to do it till December though.

While I do have the same good memories as you guys from the 80’s and 90’s reading them, they have nosedived as far as quality as of the last decade. I still get them for my office waiting room (Pre covid of course!) and would page through them occasionally. The gear reviews have turned to bias garbage and the articles themselves are so watered down they just weren’t worth the effort. It’s sad to see but it’s the way of the world. Unfortunately the Instagram hero’s are taking the place of the Boddingtons and Zumbos. Honestly not all bad as you can pick who you want to follow these days instead of being forced to follow those ignorant boneheads. The older I get the less I care for any of them whether they’re digital or on paper I guess. I’d much rather hear and learn from regular guys in a forum like this I guess.

Congrats!!! Awesome bison! Sounds like it all worked out as planned!

I agree I’ve seen plenty of that on the web, but it all depends on where you look. If you look at the infection rates in country’s with strict mask mandates vs country’s without the difference is night and day. There’s tons of stuff out there that’ll say that they don’t filter particles small enough to catch aerosols and they are true, but they are finding that it’s more droplets then aerosols that are causing it. Anything over your mouth will catch droplets.

I guess that should prove that mask mandates work. ND has 650,000 people and I personally know 50 that have had it. No mask mandate and people go out of their way to not wear them. From the sound of it in AZ you guys hardly know anyone that’s had it.

I probably know 50 people that have had it thus far. I’m in ND where you get yelled at for wearing a mask instead of not wearing one. I’m a firm believer in masks. I interacted with atleast 50 people while wearing a mask during my 48 hour pre symptom period and not a single one got it. The group of 13 I was with not a single person wore a mask (my ignorance I’ll admit) and 12 of 13 got it.

When I got it there were 13 people at an event. 12 ended up positive. 1 asymptomatic, 4 ended up in hospital, 2 in the ICU and one almost died. All healthy between 37 and 63. I’m 2.5 months post and still have lung trouble. From what my buddies said the doc said it’s gonna likely be permanent lung damage. Kinda sucks when you’re a 36 yr old in good shape to have permanent lung damage from a “hoax” that “90% of the time has no symptoms”. Oh and a good friend in a neighboring town just died from it, 66 and healthy. This crap is real. Everyone on here will know someone that has died from it by Christmas.

This bull gives me wood.

The company is based out of Tucson, however the optics are made in Japan and China based on the quality level you buy similar to what Vortex does. Japanese glass is decent stuff, I’ve found the workmanship to be nothing like European optics personally so if I’m spending similar money I want something built by a craftsman not a little kid in a factory but that’s just my 2 cents. If they’re much lower in price it could be a good thing for mid level buyers.
