Awesome! Both are sweet bucks. A drop tine like that doesn't come around too often. Sweet!

Alright alright alright. What unit. Ha! Just kidding. Heck of a buck. Congrats on a DIY stud buck!

Holy crap! That is a rough 24 hours. Wow. Good luck with it all. Hope it works out

That cell tower in nutri should be getting a verizon lease on it pretty soon I've "heard". I think it's cellular one right now.....

I couldn't agree more Lark. Well said.

Noah Sarnowski is top notch. Great clean facility

340 ish. I know I would take that bull on my November archery hunt no doubt 👍

Call the Rez. You need a permit to pass through if they even allow you to. A few years ago they stopped access. Not sure if it has changed. You'll be hard pressed to find any access roads other than two designated off of the Klondyke road once you get into klondyke and past. Access in the northern part of unit 31 is very limited. It's a shame that all of that great country can't be accessed anymore. G and F need to work on this

I sure used to love the meindl brand. Absolutely loved them. I used to get their ibex line but they discontinued what I liked to wear. I had the perfekts and yes, they were very comfortable boots. But, I had issues with the sole coming apart from the leather. Poor quality. I sent them back in and ordered the Alaskan hunters. Decent boot but the rubber does come off of the leather after a while. Once these boots are done in I think I'm going to go with kennetreks. Meindls aren't going to be my hunting boot anymore unfortunately. I really really used to love them.

It'd be good to know before Friday to be able to plan on driving to an office to get one Monday morning. But heck, what about those folks that sent in their apps for a leftover but their app never was opened before the tags come available over the counter? And there are tags available still for units they put in for as per their updated list? Interesting New Mexico does it well with their youth encouragement hunts. A real time online process that shows the amount of tags available with an auto refresher every few seconds. With the game and fish getting the draw process down, I am hopeful they will implement something like this in the future. It'd save a lot of time for those folks in the office and allow everyone an opportunity to not play the guessing game with their mail being delivered on a specific day.

Yep. Gonna be hard relying on playing the bonus point game anymore. Interesting that you were able to obtain your results. I've called different offices, been looked up and told nada yet. Been told they cannot see any leftovers results yet. Been told they'll have them finalized on Thursday. Goodness. What does it take for a guy to just find out? Be good to know!

Great to see the best outcome being possible and working out during a difficult time. Prayers sent for you all. Hang in there.

I drew a leftover last year and it actually shows in my portal (last years tag 2014). Seeing that update in the portal would be pretty neat. But, you have always had to call and verify if you were drawn.

They do a lot of damage to the land. There are starting to be quite a few in GMU 27. We don't need these things in the forest. One more thing for elk/deer to contend with on top of the wolf fiasco already in place.

Rather large. Wow

Swarovski, Leica or Zeiss. IMO it would be ridiculous to go with vortex over any of those..... Glass simply does not measure up.

I had some knockoff bighorns which were great tires imo. Dirt tamers I believe. I decided to go to maxxis bighorns and have not had good success with them at all. Those rip saws have a good tread pattern and I have heard they are good tires as well. Might get those next go round with tires.

Give back the tag for a fee. Give up ability to apply or earn bonus points for that species for the next year. I like the idea of offering something to folks that run into situations but there needs to be something in place to make it less palatable for those wishing to abuse the system. There has to be a way to find a happy medium

That animal is absolutely amazing. What a true Arizona giant. Remember that it's truly about the animal. Too bad that watermark logo is on the picture.

Weird yes, but, good for them and for us. I doubt they want all the issues they have had in the past few years with the draw. If they've gotten it down I say good work and let's look forward to the spring and mid winter draws.

That mark isn't going to cause any issues with viewing whatsoever. It still baffles me that these 15's are selling for this price nowadays. These are great, great glasses and we're basically the best 15's a guy could get two years ago.

Good for you helping him out. They look like a quality heavy duty build.

They're nice. He makes a heck of a profit on them.

Pretty dang cool IMO. I would be interested in one. Like was asked above, how difficult was it to work with?

Might check out zen Rays. Check out some birding forums and see what they recommend. They have some good threads on glass. It's possible you might could find a pair of Swarovski 10's or 8's under a grand..... Might be worth waiting an extra year to save the money to get them. I don't think you'd regret it.
