It has an color indicator on the side that supposedly changes if it's no good. Says right on it not to use if color is changed. At $360 a set (you now have to buy 2 at a time), I am going to use them right up to the expiration date. Hopefully I figure out my trigger and not worry about it so much. Unfortunately I have no idea what could set it off.

How many of you guys hunt with an epi-pen? I have recently developed a severe allergy to something, no idea what. This morning it tried to kill me with a full on case of anaphylaxis w/shock. Luckily I live 5 minutes from Banner Gateway and they hit me with some epinephrine and got me back on my feet. It was a scary deal, my blood pressure got down to 50/11 at one point. Of course my first thought when I got home was, what if this happened in a camp, or on a trail, or some other God forsaken place not within a quick drive of emergency help. What do you guys with epi-pens do on hunts? Do you carry a sat phone additionally, my reaction to the epi was about as bad as the shock, so the thought of convulsing for hours alone in the woods isn't real appealing. Do you still hunt alone? With this still being unidentified I am pretty nervous about what could have happened. Just wondering what other guys do.

Usually that means you drew 19a instead of 9 or 28 instead of 27. In this case, sounds like an upgrade.

You'll have to figure out a way every year. They expire about every 18 mos and by the time they sit on the shelf in the pharmacy it's hard to find one with more than a year of shelf life. Got my double pack yesterday and started packing today. Have an appointment with the allergist next week to get a consultation. I have a feeling this is going to cost me a fortune to figure out. Thanks Obama.

Well, ID results came out today. Goose eggs there as well. At least I am consistent.

I don't see any pics.

Your odds go up from 0 to single digits next year. With fewer than max as a NR, you aren't getting a tag.

You can still buy them new for about $1100.

Wow awesome trip. Kudu, gemsbok, wildebeast. and hartebeast. Definitely the trip of a lifetime.

I don't like to wait until the last minute but thanks to my brother we kind of did this time. Just submitted two apps and both went through without an issue, could it be, could the website actually work?!

I have had asthma all my life, which complicates this. I am diligent about carrying an inhaler and have had it under control for years now, although seasonal changes and exercise can cause flare ups. Thanks for all the tips. I can't let this keep me out of the woods.

Procedure is pretty simple, read up on the symptoms of anaphylaxis and it will tell you when to use it. Hold it down on your leg and push the button. Then wait for it to work. You are supposed to carry two doses, as there is a small chance of recurrence of anaphylaxis within a short period. Lay down when you do it, that stuff put me into all out convulsions. It lasted several hours. Not fun.

SPOT is a great idea. They are half price right now. Not going to lie, that scared me today.

Kidso should be on there. He'd of brought those bears in and played slap and tickle with em.

I like Mountain Men, but some of that stuff is getting a little too staged.

Is there some way to get ahold of the list of auction items?

Lucky for us.

I don't. But over the years lots of giants have come out of ID. When my Dad was growing up in that part of the country there was a brute behind every tree. Today, it takes a little more work.

Definitely some good bucks in that country. I hunted it quite a bit and had better luck in Tex Creek to the south. Don't get me wrong, there are way more deer all over ID than in AZ. after reading Hunting High Country Mule Deer I always assumed high country to mean above the tree line. If that's what you are looking for that's not really the habitat in the big holes. Tex creek to the South doesn't get hammered with dirt bikes, atv's and snow machines the way the big holes do. Even east of the road from swan valley to palisades gets a little better, and a guy could definitely backpack in there even though it's not designated wilderness.

Not to be contradictory, but the big holes are not a range I would consider 'high country' or very high quality deer hunting in general. I used to live within walking distance of those mountains and spent a lot of time hunting deer and elk there. There is almost no area above the tree line, and the entire range serves as basically a giant ohv area. There are trails everywhere and not an abundance of animals. I would look at either the panhandle/courdellaine area (unit 11), the South hills/owyhee area or the SE part of the state (units 70-76). None of those are what I would qualify as high country, or above the tree line. But historically that's not the primary habitat in ID. Their sagebrush desserts and coniferous forests produce a lot more of their quality deer than up on the peaks. Compared to AZ, it's all high country though. Lots of places to hunt deer, it just isn't Colorado.

6:24 mile this morning, still a ways from 6:00 but trending in the right direction. Ran 8 miles Saturday, started lifting two weeks ago. So far the weight is holding steady at 187.0

How am I supposed to check cwt if I don't use my phone when I drive

I put in for deer and sheep

My odds crept up over 2% this year! I am as likely to draw a sheep tag as I am another antelope tag. Not sure if I should be excited about that or not.
