Hey! Is that supposed to be a shot at me???

Price reduced.

5th Wheel hitch w/ bed rails. I don't know anything about it. $100 $200 obo.

If you read my post, I agree with you. I view that possibility as very unlikely, but it is not outside the realm of possibilities. This was something Tom and I discussed prior to him completing his app when we ran his odds. We knew he needed a unit that would make the 1-2 pass because we just didn't think the bonus pass would ever get there. Regardless we will be able to look at the bonus pass draw report and see for sure.

Tom - There is a way you could have drawn from the bonus pass and from the reports we should be able to tell if you did. I have not downloaded them yet, but when I do I will check to see which pool your tag came from. The way you could have drawn from the bonus pass is if all the point holders with more points than you, so everyone with 24, 23 and 22 points had selected a hunt that had no permits were remaining and therefore the bonus pass slid all the way down to you. This does happen to some degree each year because many of the guys at the top apply for the same hunts, but it is unlikely it would happen to this degree. Still possible however. My guess is you drew from the 1-2 pass and had a low number.

Construction is booming. I always did that with whatever time I had. It served me well, I am still in construction after graduating college.

How do you even end up with 5 or 6 pig points? I honestly don't think I have been unsuccessful in the draw.

There are some giants in Mormon lake every year. Those bulls don't run all the way down there from Units 9&10 to stand in that mud.

Sweet bucks, sweeter pants. Go Dad!

Oh boy here we go again . . . let me save us the time: Group A: "Game & Fish is so greedy they have ruined every elk unit from 1-7, now they are working on 9&10. It won't be long and there won't be abull over 280 left in the state." Group B: "G&F isn't greedy and they need all that $$$ to buy manage wildlife (and pay settlements with their employee-poachers) . . .We have the best G&F in the world. If you don't believe me go hunt ID." Group A: "You are all nothing but a bunch of G&F groupies, you probably have posters of Larry Voyles on your bedroom walls. Your man crush with these guys makes me sick. You are clearly all too dumb to see how they are ripping us off . . ." Group B: "You guys are a bunch of uneducated goons, what do you want our state to be just like Utah, with the so called sportsmen's groups auctioning off our tags. The G&F is smarter than we can ever hope to be, we have to trust them." Group A: "Your dumb!" Group B: "No your dumb" Group A: "My dad can beat up your dad!" Ok can we just bypass the whole G&F debate and see more pics of bulls now?

Prayers sent Tony. I will say I am a bit relieved. I have felt the pain of selling my stuff out of need and not choice. I am happy to hear that is not your situation and that we may still see you in the hills. I know we haven't met but I admire the heck out of you.

So yeah 6A is a good unit for average bulls but not much trophy quality. All you trophy hunters with all your points should keep holding out for 9, 10 and 23S.

That looks like a pretty good tom. I hope he doesn't stick around either if you are emotionally attached to the bucks in that area.

Its a muley with a wet rump. If it was a whitetail his rump wouldn't look white unless he had his tail up.

Thanks for the explanation Amanda. Keep up the good work, this is the best hunting site on the net.

Reavis always has water.

Headed to 19A.

Lot of bone there. Hope you have a bull tag this year.

You know they make some .22 lr suppressors that work REALLY well. The only pig I ever shot was with a .22 and it dropped in its tracks.

Sweet.

Pretty sure thats a muley running with a muley.

Are you kidding me? Flag received almost 7" of rain in July.

I love Grandpa's pic, you can hardly see the elk. Its all about the family not the trophy. Good reminder. I am impressed that clarets buddy was able to take that bull out of 6A but I am equally impressed that someone crammed the thing whole into a K5 blazer. That seems like a lot of work.

Saw Jeff in the airport yesterday. He was headed home to get after the big blonde. Hope he gets it done.

Bummer . . .
