Flatlander

Zamberlan Thunder Pro GTX is a decent compromise between weight and support. I like mine so far, only a couple months into them.

Buck #3 has the best look anyway, congrats on a fun hunt!

Congrats to both of you! Very nice antelope!

If you read the new rule, someone who is applying for a crossbow permit now has to go see a specialist, who performs a function test and writes a “narrative” justifying his professional assesment, that then must be delivered in person or via mail to a dept office and the process has to be renewed every year. Anybody scheduled an appointment with a specialist lately? 6-9 months is the norm unless there is an acute injury. Ever try it at the VA? Double that. Oh yeah, gotta pay for appointment too. If he is a CHAMP holder, repeat that same process for the CHAMP application. Then the applicant will have to find a crossbow, remove the optics, purchase a 1x optic (I think there is 1 on the market right now) and reattach it and resight. Meanwhile, they still have to deal with whatever injury or illness qualifies them for the permit in the first place. The commission can pat themselves on the back all they want for a good compromise and I am sure they will sleep just fine. The flat brimmed hunting bro’s can enjoy their otc archery for a couple more years and the influencers can keep their likes up until it’s overrun. A few abusers will decide the extra headache isn’t worth the hassle anymore. Many of them will write the narrative themself and still get their permit signed by their buddy who is an ortho. And the people who this whole system was created for? They’ll either decide that all these extra hurdles aren’t worth it or aren’t feasible with their daily life that already includes way more PIA factor than most of us even bother to consider, or a few of the really resilient ones who are at a good place in their life and have the means will dip duck dive dodge duck all the wrenches that keep getting thrown at them. Good job everybody, way to go.

I’m not taking the time to dice up a tomatoe

Same thing as every Friday, ground elk tacos with crappy yellow shells and mission sauce.

Everyone

No magnifying scopes. 1x is still allowed.

The ability to hook your inreach to your pack in full view of the sky to receive messages is a pretty nice advantage. As mentioned the satellite messages can only be received on a phone when it has a clear view from the ground to the satellite. Pockets, packs, ground blinds all will interfere with message upload / download. I would clip my inreach to the edge of a blind where the antenna had view of the sky but the screen faced into the blind. Its a little bit more flexible and does conserve battery life on the phone.

How long does it take to get a new string?

Sure ain’t

How many horses did you see? 3C is cooked

With the number of people out over the weekend they ought to find his vehicle. I know the boys and I are going to do what we can and start checking side roads.

The answer is no. This has never happened to anyone ever. Crazy.

Stud buck, congrats!

Do a little national forest clean up over the weekend?! 😂

Black, 3 extendable legs, head with adapter plate lost on top of hill in forest

Dude, you creeping around in a van?

Bomber coues in that neighborhood!

Yes for some species.

Option 2

Come to think of it, I can’t recall a time I am aware of when someone received more than one tag at all, regardless of species in a given year since that policy change.
