You may see a pending charge a day or two before your card is actually debited, but other than that you don't see anything until they charge your card.

Wouldn't it be tape shrinking? If the tape got bigger the score would actually be lower. I think this is what I have been doing on all my coues deer.

Looks like a good time. Congrats on the big ole Tom.

Stud buck and looks like pretty good taxi work. Nice job.

Congrats Casey! Both my boys were early, they turned out alright.

You're sick. That's like falsely telling a bunch of kids at fat camp that they are having chilli dogs for dinner. Its against the constitution.

It sure looks like it took a whack between the eyes to me. My taxidermist just sent me pics of my bears broken jaw that was discovered when he started taking the hide off the head.

How does that compare with previous years? If my memory serves me correctly that's a big up-swing.

Make, model, etc?

Thanks Steve. Feeling is mutual, I can't wait to go shoot this thing.

Holy cutters!

Looks like a great time and a big ole oinker. I can't wait to have these experiences with my boys.

Looking forward to seeing you this weekend.

Awesome collection. Color me jealous.

Who knows maybe we will run into each other sometime since it looks we are neighbors on the member map. If you draw that 22 Late tag let me know and maybe I can help you out, I have spent some time in that unit and would love to do it again.

1/2A/2C Juniors - 19% (4 for the Bonus Pass) 3A/3C - 17% (4 for the Bonus Pass) 27 Early Archery - 13% 27 Late Rifle - 27% 17% 6A Late Muzzy - 15% (If the quota is not met in the Bonus Pass) 7W Late Rifle - 13% (If the quota is not met in the Bonus Pass) 3B Early Bull - 2% There was no lat cow hunt in 3B last year so I don't have data to give you on that. However, based on a comparison between 6A and 3B bull hunts, I would project odds for someone with 2 points at near 60%. Good luck to all!

Stopped by the booth and also listened to Steve today. I make sure to catch him every year, I learn something every time. That guy is a great representative for the AES.

That is a bitter sweet ending. Commendable of you to stick with him and not try to harvest another animal. Well done, I am glad you found him one way or the other.

Good tips. Thanks.

I believe that they may have been refering to 2.5x the number of online applicants. Last year there was a lot of skepticism about using it and its reliability. I would guess that most of the new applicants were folks who switched over from paper apps last year.

That thing is a giant. We need more pics!

Those Key deer are stinkin awesome. I want one for the man cave.

I have hunted that area for a lot of years. Never seen a lion, but do occasionally see sign. They definitely don't have the densities in those areas that they do in the higher country where there is more forage and therefore more prey.

Sorry did not see this before you are looking at 13% on 5BS early archery, and less than 5% on any early rifle tags. Your odds are about 7%. Applying for the same hunt first and second did not really buy you anything. Since you are assigned 3 random numbers (1 for your app. and one for each bp) and then the lowest of the three is selected. When your number is reached they will look at your first and then your second choice to see if any permits are available. Because those are the same its effectively the same as only putting one choice down. Once they have reviewed the 1st and 2nd choice of every applicant, they re-issue people random numbers and then look at the 3rd and 4th choice of every applicant who has not already received a tag. This is then repeated for the 5th choice. So putting the same hunt as your 3rd choice would be ineffective, because if any tags were available you would have already received it in the 1-2 pass. I hope this helps, its a little complicated so I recommend visiting the link I shared earlier and reading it a few times.
