  2. Haha, oh how a few months changes things. When that goat hit the dirt I think we were all on the verge of tears. Now we are all thinking about how to do one better. If you do, I will buy you a beer or coke or big glass of water, whatever it is that you drink.
  3. Can't wait for this. I hope I can throw some help your way. What is your optics situation? Big glass is a must. I used a Vortex Razor HD 20-60x80mm. Aside from that, getting close is the only way to judge these buggers.

    There is country to hunt. Typically some pretty good bucks too.

    Monday Check in

    Still under 190 this week and last week several of my 4+ mile runs were at a 7:30/mile pace. The craziest thing was my blood pressure. Every year for insurance we have to do a wellness check. Last year my blood pressure was 121/82. This year; 112/62.

    Oh man, losing that blonde would have been a tragedy. Glad it worked out. Now you can spoon that blonde every night.

    Crazy elk hunting stories

    I have three children, and thank God they are healthy. I meant nothing derogatory about your son. I too have flung lots of lead in the heat of the moment, some when I was young, and some when I was a little older. I think the Triclawps is a great innovation to help with young and/or new hunters, I wish they were around when I was a kid. That's it, no criticism intended. I enjoyed the story, thanks for sharing.

    Crazy elk hunting stories

    This is exactly the reason they invented the "Triclawps"

    Crashed. People are probably hoping it shows draw results.

    Unit 9 antelope tag after 21 years

    Listen to Sir Royal. Maybe you can even set up camp near the juniper tree he put his tag around last year.

    80-85"? That's a stud goat! I will pick your brain offline.

    Wyoming Antelope Application Process

    Ok - beware, here comes the zombie thread (Maybe it should be pinned). So I am reviewing the NR Special PP Draw Report and it looks to me like last year in the special draw with 4 pts you could draw any tag. Am I reading this correctly? https://wgfd.wyo.gov/web2011/Departments/Hunting/pdfs/DRAW_ANT_PP_NONRESSP_20140005880.pdf

    Surprise, surprise! Haven't you had a tag every year for the past 30 years? Why do you even bother checking?

    Monday Check in

    A couple weeks ago I dropped under 200 for the first time since college. Saturday I stepped on the scale at the gym and saw something I had honestly given up on ever achieving again 188.5 lbs. the first time I have been under 190 since I got married 9-1/2 yrs ago.

    Anyone win anything good @ AES last night

    Picked up a Triclawps in the silent auction for $50. I was second bidder on the elk tag. $235k is more than my second mortgage would cover.

    I would love to get my hands on that M 70. Just not in the budget at the moment

    How do you know

    If you applied electronically the CC you used to apply may show a charge from AZGFD now. All antelope hunts, and almost all elk hunts can only be drawn as a 1st or 2nd choice on your application. So if you have a charge on your credit card for either $135 or $90 you Basically know that you have drawn one of two hunts at most.

    Card Hit

    This will last a while. And there is not any rhyme or reason as to how they hit cards from what I have been able to gather over the years. Antelope tags, bull tags, cow tags they all start showing up at once and with last names from a-z. Don't lose hope, I won't be.

    Card Hit

    The wife and SIL have some cow tags. Still waiting on an archery bull tag for me and a buddy.

    Card Hit

    5-10 days usually but the biggest volume is in the first few days.
