Italian wedding soup we made yesterday.

You drew in the bonus pass. 40 tags are in the bonus. Up to 10% could be non-res. It doesn't mean 10% have to be non-res. For me choice 1 is always a long shot. Choice 2 is what I actually want, assuming I don't have enough points to draw either tag in the bonus pass. The problem with that though is if Choice 1 is above your point level, but Choice 2 you have enough bonus points for, you will always draw Choice 2. For a chance to hit a long shot for Choice 1, both choices need to be outside of the bonus pass 1-2 points. If either tag in Choice 1 or 2 is a guaranteed draw you will always draw that tag. This year I had 4 points. Choice 1 was approx a 13 point draw. Choice 2 was approx 5-6 points. We drew the 2nd choice in the lottery draw. If you draw in the lottery draw after the bonus, when your app gets pulled they look at Choice 1. If Choice 1 has tags left, you get them. If not they look at choice 2. If you they have choice 2 tags left you get them. If not they put you back in the 3-5 draw which basically means you won't get a tag unless choice 3-5 has a really easy to draw option like a limited opportunity type tag.

With the elk draw complete there's got to be kids needing a rifle to hunt with. Enter them to win one of the giveaway guns in the youthgungiveaway.

I picked this up for $30, probably paid to much but it looked interesting. Story is that a guy purchased from a estate sale from a Doctor that collected knives in Kansas. Anyone good at identifying knives?

I found puukkotedas via Google and looks to be a style or maker of knives… also on wiki. Pretty interesting… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puukko

Not dinner... Had a hankering for a fried egg and onion Sammy. Backyard eggs, homemade bread with a little mayo and crystal hot sauce

Non-Residents almost always get their allotted 5% of tags for early archery and premium gun/muzzy hunts. NR's typically have substantially more points than residents in the 20% pool plus g&F likes their $. If you look in the stats, they do very well in the random draw too to get their remaining 5% allotment. Happy Hunting

Go find out and tell us how it is

My understanding is it’s a 10% non resident cap, but not a quota. Could be less but can’t be more. I think it goes by straight point total, stopping at the cap if they reach it, so the non-res tags would be interspersed. Non res may have something like tags 1, 4, 11 and 23 depending on BP amount. I’m just glad it’s so easy to figure out, yikes

6a late muzzy bull for me!!!!

I also picked up the new Lift this year although the 29.5" version. It's a sweet shooting rig. On my last Mathews I did run a back bar but I with the new integrated bridge lock system and quiver that sits so tight to the riser my Lift balances well without the need of a back bar. I do have a front stabilizer though-- I like a bow to tip forward after the shot.

Was out pig hunting last week and walked up on this mule deer dead head. I never find anything cool so it was nice to get lucky.

Never actually tried fry bread before but momma made some fry bread tacos on a whim. Pretty dang good. Gonna have to get her to make some breakfast versions with sugar and honey.

I took my boy down to the desert to help a couple of buddies on a javalina hunt. On the 5hr drive down all he could talk about was wanting to kill and eat a rabbit. As luck would have it mid morning Friday this guy changed shade trees on the ridge right by camp. A few shots later this sucker was on the camp stove getting cooked for lunch. Not my favorite but that lil guy was so proud it was amazing.

Ribeye and a potato.

Buffalo chicken on brioche. I have pounds of buffalo chicken to kill

Every time I see this pop up on the unread feed my brain reads Desert bucks !!
