2015 bonus point report now online

The antelope in Unit 10 are doing really well right now. The trophy bucks peaked in 2007 and 2008 and then began slowly tapering down until last season when it began to pick up again. I think this year will be really good but it might be better next year and the year after. The only problem now is that G&F is issuing a lot more tags so it's going to be tougher to get the two and three old bucks to survive the season to grow to be giants.

 

The other units are all in different areas of flux. Some are doing really good, others not so much.

my waiting for a tag issue.

 

most apply for an area known to produce huge old bucks- but like Eli stated more tags means fewer old bucks

 

most apply specific weapon - used to be archery was an easy draw but not anymore- here again depends on which unit you apply

 

seems the more points you get the picker the unit applied for and choice of weapon

 

I got 17 this yr and I basically apply for 3 units - 10 5b and 7 mainly because these are the units where I know where to go to find decent bucks - right now i'll wait for a rifle tag- a few yrs ago it was any weapon - muzzy 8 was a sleeper along with a few other hunts

 

once / if I draw then i'll be more inclined to put in for different units and choice of weapons again . oh well

 

Good luck to all those whom have a tag this yr. maybe next yr will be my lucky year. -

 

I've yet to have an antelope tag filled - though I've had several muzzy and archey tags over the yrs.- this was due to 'trophy" type preference of the buck I wanted.

I'm in the top three.

I figure this may be my last hunt and it still may be a couple of years with 23 BP.

I am one of the 23 years guys.
