My dad and I were drawn for 36b HAM and 36b October WT. The HAM will be a hunt/scouting trip. The late WT hunt still eludes me but at least I'm going hunting, WOO HOO!!!!!

We haven't been hit yet on the cc so I have now lowered my expectations to the early hunt, please just give a tag, even if it's not my precious late wt hunt. I am getting desperate. I even put te early hunt second choice so that I don't get skunked.

Welcome Dave, glad you joined up. I've noticed lately that there has consistently been more guests than members reading in the discussion forum lately, hopefully they'll join up too. I know that I've learned a ton and found that it is a really good group of people here. I hope to see you guys out in the field or around town sometime. Daryl

Casey....I think I got it figured out......they are charging the 36b late hunt guys last , yeah that's what I keep telling myself anyways because STILL NO HITS ON THE CC FOR US EITHER!!!!! I feel like I am on life support and at the last second they will post that I got a tag and I will just barely pull through. Heck, I am even reducing my expectations to the early hunt, JUST GIVE ME A DEER TAG .

reddog, that's cool that you got the late hunt since you didn't get drawn the last 2 years, I put 36B first choice every year but am yet to get it. I'll find out later today if we even got drawn. Congrats.

Are you sure you got the late hunt reddog??? That would be cool for you if it is since you didn't get drawn the last few years. Either way congrats on getting drawn.

hey, maybe your dad will buy it for you since you're only 17 years old.

I'm dyin' here. I put in with my dad and so it's on his card....I have no way of knowing until he checks his account.......which won't be until later today . I may call him and see if he will tell me his info so I can check for him online I gotta know

Welcome Switchback, glad to have you on board. When I found CWT.com I read the discussion forum for a few weeks before I joined. I've noticed lately that with the draw results about to come out it shows a lot more guests than members reading the discussion forum. Hopefully they join up soon. I've seen discussion forums on similar topics and this one is the best by leaps and bounds. The wealth of knowledge that so many people have here in this forum is amazing. I'm still in the early stages of my hunting experiences so I read much more than I post. Hope you like it here as much as we all do.

Man, that's like worse than hittin below the belt .

For my Dec 36B hunt I plan on getting a new scope for my .243, new pack, new boots, new sidearm, and probably some other stuff since I don't have very much hunting gear yet. Oh yeah, new binoculars....anybody have experience with Leupold binoculars???????? I was wondering if they are very good or not since they are a lot cheaper than the top of the line glasses. I should have enough time to accumulate all this since I have until December .

Those are some sweet pictures. Cool story too, thanks for postin'.

It was probably some kid out messin' around with his new toy bow with a 10lb draw. I remember when I was about 10 yrs old I had a little 10-15 lb bow and I would go into the hills and fields by my house "huntin" for rabbits. of course i was never even close to hittin anything but dirt. and if a kid got that lucky on a shot what are the chances that it would go through and not even slow the bird down???? who knows, pretty weird either way.

Gotta love those rumors.......getcha all pumped up and excited and then WHAM!!!!!!! they crush all that hope you had of finding out today. somebody somewhere is getting a good laugh at our expense. it will be worth the wait when I find out I finally got my 36B late hunt .

Happy Birthday Casey.....hopefully you get that 36B late tag your always talkin about. I put it first every year and am yet to draw it, this is the year for both of us. Be safe.

I put in for Deer: 1. 36B Dec 2. 36B Oct 3. 36B Nov Javelina 1. 36B HAM in Sep.

Best wishes to you and your future bride. I second what Bill says.....but he's got me beat by 47 years. Yesterday was my third year anniversary. Hope you enjoy the wedding as much as you will your honeymoon. Congratulations.

not a very good idea to join a site, ask for advice and then talk smack to the people who are giving it to you . good response bowhuntinmaniac, most people wouldn't have been so nice.

Here is my one and only mount so far. It's not the biggest of mounts but the memories that it brings back are real hard to top.

Sent you a PM

I highly recommend the stickers. It's really cool when you run into someone else that has one. I get a lot of thumbs up driving down the freeways too. It's a good way to show support of our favorite website. I have always been against putting stickers on my car but when I got my CWT sticker I hurried outside and put it on in the dark of night. If you look close you can tell it's a little crooked.......I just couldn't wait until the next day . It's the white Blazer with AZ4Life's red Dakota.

It's really cool to see kids get so excited over finding something that a lot of people might just overlook or not care enough to bring home and clean up. Maybe he'll get hooked just like us!!! Cool find and story.

Happy Birthday Marlon !!!! Wish for a B&C coues when you blow out the candles.

That elk scores 394 4/8 and is #40 in the Arizona Wildlife Trophies 2005 book for non-typical elk. What an amazing find. I just got the book this past weekend and recognized her name as I was looking at the records.

I didn't get an email, but anytime I tried to get on CWT.com it wouldn't load properly and Norton gave me a message saying that a recent attempt to attack my computer was blocked, Thank you Norton. Good to be back on, I've been missing my favorite website.
