  1. Im so jealous of this!!! In ND they are listed as invasive but they count toward a daily limit and theres a season. Not sure if thats even legal if the game and fish to do. Ive considered flying down just to get out of the cold some winter and shoot eurasians!

    What to do ,11 points ,Res.

    They do the 20% bonus pass first before the random draw. So theyll look through everyone with the highest point tiers for each hunt. You wont make the cut for late bab with 11 points but you most likely will for 27 late so youll get a tag on second choice in the first round bonus pass and your name wont be in the hat on the random draw pass that comes up later.

    Hey Bob, I dont know much about that 27 late Hunt as Ive only turkey and shed hunted in there, but if you put that for second choice you will almost for sure draw it in the bonus pass and not even have a chance at a late Kaibab tag so make sure thats what you wanna do. Thats some steep nasty stuff in places, couple that with this nasty dry year and I think youre gonna be hard pressed to dig a 180 buck outa there. If I were you Id hold off one more year and take a few days to run up there and hunt the archery hunt in early January this year and make sure its the hunt you want before cashing in. Thats just my 2 cents, I know guys shoot good bucks in there but most of them are some hardcore hiking SOBs that do it!!

    How many non res elk points ?

    Youre sitting in a great spot. There are tons of good elk hunts you can go on with 15 points. If you look at tag numbers 1 and 3c have done nothing but go up, and some other units in the area have been on a steady decline in tag numbers. It doesnt take long for them to flip flop which one is better. Look into any of the 4 or 5 units and youd have a guaranteed rut archery tag or if you can glass, hike, and shoot decently at Long range then look into 23 late rifle. They kill some REALLY BIG bulls in that hunt but you gotta work a little more for them.

    I would do 12b west muzzleloader. That being said Ive never hunted it. I see some giants come out of there and the draw odds are way better then any of the other November hunts. Im gonna guess you are atleast 18-20 years away from being in max point pool for a strip tag and 10+ for a late Kaibab tag. People always look at how many points it takes this year and how many they have but dont analyze point creep trends to realize that it goes up a point or so every year as well.

    Prepping for osso buco

    My wife does osso bucco a lot. I get my butt chewed if I dont pack out the bone in front shanks when I kill and elk or moose. I used to grind it all up and now its one of my favorite cuts.

    Leica 2000B Rangefinder $399

    Ive got a 1600b as well as a sig. The optics are better on the Leica but the speed and scan mode on the sig are far better. My sig is the kilo 2400abs so its not a very good comparison. I think Leica is losing the race at MSRP prices, however at this price the Leica is probably a lot more rangfined there then youll get in a comparable $400 sig.

    UNIT 10 RIFLE

    Booner free zone, sorry man be right back, killing myself. No worries, definitely some popers in there.

    UNIT 10 RIFLE

    The all time B&C is 82. I think 80 gets annual recognition. Kind of like 110 is all time B&c coues deer but you can get it listed if theyre 100.

    Boone and Crockett minimum is 82

    Lousy customer servicwe from Leica USA

    No reasonable way to mount a tripod stud and no reasonable customer service are the two reasons Ive stayed away from them.

    Remington 722 .222 Rem Magnum

    Is that furniture factory original or has it been modified. Most of the 722s Ive seen were kind of plain Jane looking. This one looks pretty cool, maybe a deluxe version or something?

    Remington 722 .222 Rem Magnum

    A 222 rem mag is ballisticly almost identical to a .223. If Im not mistaken it may be even a little faster. It was Remingtons answer to the popularity of the .223. It didnt catch on. Sweet gun and awesome caliber though !

    Any 22 magnums for sale?

    Look into a 17 WSM if its just a varmint/coyote rifle. You can get a savage B mag for about $250 and theyre a nice light gun that would be great for a kid.

    Kaibab - early vs. late hunt?

    Ive always thought that the strip was 13a and 13b and that Kaibab referred to 12a and 12b. I realize there are portions of the 12s that arent really on the Kaibab plateau but I guess thats what Ive always thought of it?

    Kaibab - early vs. late hunt?

    7 should put you in the bonus pass with about a 50/50 chance if we are talking west side. If you hold out for the late hunt you are about 8 years out with no point creep and probably more like 15-20 years out if point creep stays the same.
  22. yotebuster

    Kaibab - early vs. late hunt?

    Probably a little lower then that actually as that is what your chance wouldve been last year if you had 13pts. With point creep you pretty much just stay at about the same level you were last year with a tiny bit of upward correction when people draw or die!
  23. yotebuster

    Kaibab - early vs. late hunt?

    Looks like you are about 4 years behind the curve on 12aw late and about 7 years back on a 13b.
