    unit 10 early bull rifle tag soup???

    Sure do. 398" was the biggest bull killed in that unit that particular year. For a unit that everyone boasts about how many HUGE Bulls there are 398" being the biggest that unit produced isn't to impressive. I never laid eyes on the 400" bull I was looking for, only saw still camera pics and pics from a power parachute the week before the hunt. I was so hyped by other hunters that had supposedly hunted that unit in recent years and by outfitters that contacted us after the draw that I expected to see much better quality than what I did. Did I see every bull unit 10 had to offer that year, of course not. Did I expect to see more than 4 bulls over 350", sure did. Like I said it was a dry hot year and I'm sure that was a big contributing factor. Would I take a tag in that unit and give it another go, in a heartbeat. But to me, I feel the hunt was a bit overhyped. I was ok eating the tag. I could have shot....or at least shot at (haha) 2 bulls over 350" and chose not to, looking for something once in a lifetime.

    unit 10 early bull rifle tag soup???

    In 1998 me, my dad and my uncle had 3 of the 10 tags on the early rifle bull hunt. My dad shot a 356" 6x6 and my uncle shot a 398" 6x6. I was the only one of the 10 tag holders to not fill my tag that hunt. I passed a few 350" bulls hunting a specific 400" plus bull. I didn't see nearly as many big Bulls as I thought I would. In my opinion the unit was a little overhyped. We did have well above average temps that hunt though. Very little rutting activity. We talked to one guy that shot a spike on the 2nd day. He said he put in for the hunt because it was close to home.

    Sold, please delete.

    Great quad! I've had one since 2000 and it has been incredibly reliable. I've gone everywhere I needed to on this quad and never once needed a 4x4. Good luck with the sale.

    Deadline for Colorado fall draw

    Wow that's not really what I was expecting to hear! I didn't think it would take 12+ years for an above average deer hunt. Disappointing to hear about the antelope quality as well.

    Deadline for Colorado fall draw

    Ok guys that have hunted Colorado before....question. This is the first year a buddy and myself have bought a pp in the expectations of buying them for a few years to build up enough for a decent mule deer hunt. My question to you guys that have hunted there is this. How long of a wait are we looking at? We would like a chance at 170"+bucks. I know that if its anything like AZ there are 170"+ bucks in every unit, but I'm talking about a rifle hunt where it's common to see 170"+ deer. Is that a 5 year wait, 10 year wait, how long of a ride are we in for? To be clear I'm not asking for anyone's secret spots just a general answer because we're new at applying in Colorado. I think Colorado has it figured out to where you can tell exactly how many points you need for a guaranteed tag, but I'm not sure where to find that info. I may be wrong. On a side note....I just drew my 22nd bonus point for antelope here in AZ so I'm buying an antelope point in Colorado. How many points for a decent hunt there? By decent I mean a shot at a mid 70s buck? On another side not I had to laugh a little when I was watching the tutorial on how to apply for hints in Colorado and the first thing it says is don't wait until the last minute to apply......I applied 4 hours before it closed and was kicked off and had to restart the application process 3 times due to "an unusual amount of activity." Thanks in advance for any input and reading this long winded post!

    Can you purchase just a pp or do you have to buy a license also? I guess my question is what's the total cost to put in if you just want a pp?

    Bowtech Patriot 2

    I just ordered a new bow so my old rig is up for sale. It is a 2008 BowTech Patriot 2 made exclusively for Sportsmens warehouse. This bow has 60 to 70 pound limbs on it and is currently set at a 29 inch draw length. The bow will come with a truglo five pin site with a 6th pin that I've added. The site isn't in great shape so I am throwing it in for free. It will also come with a limb saver stabilizer and a pronghorn drop away rest made by trophy Ridge. It will also come with a D loop and Peep on the string. Will also come with an aftermarket string stop. The strings and cables were replaced three months ago in August before archery deer season. This is a good shooting fast bow for being 6 years old. I'm getting 297 fps out of it. Package price is $325 obo bare bow price is $250 obo. I can text pics. For pics text me @ 602-999-7684 Thanks Cody

    Card Hit

    Just curious how many people on here asked flatlander for draw odds that were guaranteed a tag and haven't gotten a credit card hit? Not at all trying to discredit him, but trying to gauge where we are in the cards being charged. I'm not expecting to draw an elk or antelope tag this year so I'm just curious how much longer cards will get hit. Doesn't seem like anyone got hit over the weekend so maybe they only run them during business hours?
  15. Lots of Lookie Lou's. I'd sure like to sell this truck to a fellow hunter! It went with me on a successful archery bull hunt in 2013. It knows the feeling of having a 6x6 bull in the bed, and likes it!

    Card Hit

    Wapitibob I don't feel entitled to anything I just think the system is flawed. I can assure you that someone that has waited 20+ years for something will appreciate it a lot more than someone that gets lucky on their first attempt. Just my 2 cents

    Card Hit

    Congrats to your son SHREK but that pisses me off. There are a lot of people myself included that have been waiting 20+ years for a trophy antelope hunt and here are 10 year old kids with no points and people with 2 points or guys getting 3 trophy tags in 10 years. This is a flawed system. I know what people will say...put in for an easier draw unit if you want to hunt antelope. I spent 15 years applying for easier units. Once I built up so many points it only makes sense to wait on a trophy tag. heck at this rate it's the only trophy antelope tag I'll draw in my life. Other people will say.....just go to Wyoming......we shouldn't have to! There has to be a better way to structure the hunts so people get a fair shake. Life's not fair. Ya Ya I know. I know people that haven't built up bogus points want a chance at a tag too. G$F should figure out a plan to weight the tags in favor of the bogus points. Leave some tags from each hunt for the general population, but put more emphasis on the high bonus point people. Square the points to put more weight on them or something. Ok sorry rant over! Can you tell I haven't had any credit card hits yet?!? HAHAHA
