Anywhere that has access to the foothills for the whitetail season has waaay more pressure now. Locked gates that allow foot access only and typically had 0-1 vehicles parked now have 4-5. I two have seen way too much hunters trash left at camp sites from previous hunts and spent time gathering it all up and burning it after it had even blown all over and stuck into nearby trees! what I worry about as well is this new closure will push most of the hunters to Kings Anvil and Elk Horn so now how long will it be before they get tired of all destruction and opt out of the program as well. They are going to receive 3-4x the amount of people now.

Some roads have easements and cannot legally be posted. Most of them are private and posted with orange post and big signs! Santa Margarita ranch has also hired armed security! They are driving a white Toyota Tacoma that says Santa Margarita ranch security on the door. Was also notified that they have cell cameras to notify the security. game and fish came buy camps to explain and notify everyone about the closure and to let everyone know he’s making sure nothing is posted illegally but also notifying everyone that they are prosecuting. game and fish officer told me they opted out of the program because they have had too many issues with trash being left at camps, fences cut, gates left opened which could be illegal traffic as well but the final straw was a group of hunters camped next to some of their corrals and the cowboys were gathering cattle and asked the hunters to move their camp and the hunters refused and got into an altercation with the cowboys.

Okay good! Should be starting to show up then. I thought we typically had them by now but wasn’t sure. We have had so much mail lost in transit lately it’s ridiculous.

Has anyone received their deer tags in the mail? I would expected to see them by now? I transferred my mother in law’s tag to one of my daughters and the tag came right away but hav not seen the (2) other youth tags we are waiting for.

Sure seems very similar! I sure can see them being related.

I just checked and mine was working just fine and no change 😔

Think we will see results posted today?

That’s gotta be Kathy!🤣

Kathy! 🤣 she was truly the best! Old school!

I know exactly who you are talking about!!🤣

Great unit! Tons of antelope even after the bad winter kill from a few years ago. How many points did you have to draw that unit?

Nice! That should have been the second round after the declined cards. Still hoping we will see results posted Friday 🙏🏻 but I’m sure it will be next week.

Has there been any late hits for the declined cards yet?

Do you think we will see the results posted by Friday?

I’m surprised only 2 units going to draw for archery draw. I figured they would have addressed the OTC hunts a little better since dang near every unit is going way over quota on mule deer.
