This is posted in the "antelope hunting" section. So guessing antelope.

Why are they so bad at their job

I don't post stories/pics much. (In fact, I don't think I have ever posted anything hunting trip related, other than adventures with my kids.) Anyway, since not many folks get to hunt bison, I thought I would share. I put in on a whim when applying for deer 4 months ago. Just an afterthought, assuming that I would not get drawn, but I lucked-out and got one of 10 tags for the 9/25-10/7 12A cow hunt. Once I was drawn, I decided I would do everything I could to try to give myself the best chance at killing one. I reached-out to, and spent time on the phone with quite a few people who had previously had the permit, including Heat and Catfishkev. I also spoke with Flatlander a couple of times, since he and his son did the hunt in July. In addition, I exchanged messages with several others (couesdeerhntr, and others who are not on cw.com....). I also exchanged info with Jim Mullins, who was very generous with his information/assessment of the hunt. I owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to ALL who spent the time to give me information and perspective! In particular, Kevin spent lots of time with me on the phone/text/e-mail, and in fact sent me the key to a couple of his cameras and gave me the full go-ahead to utilize them for my hunt prep! Super, super generous!!!! Unfortunately, due to personal family commitments over the summer combined with the fact that I started a new job in mid-July, my time was very limited, and I could not spend the necessary 'boots on the ground' time I would have hoped. Finally, I also reached out to Russ Jacoby. Stating the obvious, there are many opinions of Russ and his crew (Just like there are many differing opinions of all of us! ). That being said, I found him to be helpful, professional, sincere, and SUPER passionate about the bison on the Kiabab! When I said I was going on a scouting trip in early July, he invited me to join his crew for a "ride-along" day or two to get to know the vibe and how they operate. That was very valuable time. I ultimately ended-up connecting with him for the hunt. So from here, I'll try make this quick! One of my best friends & hunting/fishing/camping partners drove down from Salt Lake to help me on the hunt. We met-up on Thursday evening and set-up camp. I connected with Russ, and made a plan to meet him early on Friday morning. My buddy decided to pass on the first day in the blind, giving me an opportunity to get the feel of the thing, and he would then join me in latter days. I met-up with Russ in the morning, and he made a suggestion regarding a tank I should sit. Well, 2 1/2 hours into opening day, after seeing several deer and lots of birds, I heard a noise and immediately saw black bodies moving through the trees making their way down the trail to the tank I was on. Within 10 seconds of initially seeing them, there were 12-14 bison of all shapes, sizes, and genders lined-up about 40 yards directly across the tank from me drinking away. I quickly focused-in on one of the cows, and as soon as she turned broad-side, I blasted her right in the boiler-room. As the other's scattered, she took a huge lunge into the tank, then took approximately 3-4 big jumps while turning to get out of the tank. I could see blood on her side as she got to dry ground and started to run/limp up the bank. I shot her again as she was running, and she fell. She started to get-up, so I shot her one last time and she slumped-down for good. From the time I saw them coming through the trees, to the time she was dead was likely no more than 30-40 seconds. DONE!! I walked around sort of dumbfounded and in disbelief for several days regarding the entire thing, specifically how quickly it happened! I went from not even really ever thinking about or considering putting-in for buffalo, to killing a 'once in a lifetime' animal just four months later. Unbelievable! Anyway, thanks again to everyone who spent time with me on text/email/phone to help with information. I'm full of gratitude!!!! S. She was big and old!! (Russ aged her at 10-12 years old.....)

Im just surprised your typing skills are on point with you being lit 😂😂

The price of the tag should be determined by the hunt number for general or jr. But who the heII knows these days😞

You remember in like 2003 when we had a gas shortage in Phoenix? Pretty sure gas prices never went back down

Probably get a hot dog at the turn. Then Im gonna eat mango margaritas by myself on my back porch until I black out. Stumble to the bar, eat a club sandwich. embarrass myself. Go home pass out

Sold Hopefully this one will knock some fawn killers down soon. Great transaction.

So g&f called me back this afternoon and claim I was drawn for sheep and they overcharged me and others who were drawn. Said they will be crediting back the difference soon. I won’t believe it till I have the tag. WOW I’m in shock. No BS. Hope it’s real.

Dude, that vortex warranty though.

So stoked that Clover drew the statewide Governor's permit for quail and grouse😉 What a fall she will have as a 2 year old GWP. Looks like no deer or sheep permit for me this year.

I have been a long time defender of the game and fish but this shoot is getting out of hand. Every Cycle we have some fiasco. Why can they not just use the sorrowski of software instead of the vortex?

Because it demands your undivided attention.

Why cut off 50% of the unit to save $100?

I would 100% buy the access. You will regret not spending the 110$ if you are having a hard time locating a good antelope outside of the Bo. Why restrict your hunting area for such a small price? Seems like a no brainer for me.

This is a great question and very helpful answers. As it is such a limited hunt there is so little info out there. I am glad that people are responding and helping as I had these same questions.

If 'called in' predators is an indicator of a quality electronic call there are quite a few that match up to a WT and a select few that exceed it in my opinion.
