Got 1k for $75. Thanks for the offers . Now I need bullets. 6.5 cm. 140 gr partition or 143 eldx

WTT cash for large rifle primers. I’m pretty sure I’m in a large group here.

At least it’s only two weeks...used to be a lot longer. I remember when most hunts were due in early June and you didn’t know till end of July. You had 5-6 weeks till archery elk started from time you knew you were going. Guys who were low in the pecking order at work couldn’t get time off. Kudos to g and f for moving it to Feb and getting draw done in a couple weeks.

I don’t think recruiting new hunters is the problem. There are lots on the back end who are aging out of the sport, myself included in a few years. There are tons of people moving here. From 2019 to 2020, there were 800 more applicants for 5bs archery bull alone, which I have been trying to draw for 10 years now. I don’t think that’s newbies. I’m always willing and ready to help somebody new .

My math was off...I’ll actually be 250

Mine has the same date. I’ll be 150

Toprut separates res and non res, for one thing. G and F only shows total applied. Close to half of some bonus groups are non res.

Toprut is $9.95 per year for odds on deer,elk,antelope,sheep. 2 states. Gives bonus round odds and second round. Separates resident from non resident.

Addendum..I’m glad I’m old. I grew up in a great America. I feel horrible for my kids and grandkids, and all those represented by their generations.

Welcome to the new USA. No giving your opinion..unless it fits the left narrative. No defining gender. No guns, unless they’re in the hands of people in power. Higher taxes for the few who are still willing to work, until they realize that money doesn’t come from working, it comes from the government. Open up those borders..all those people are votes. The swamp is now here to stay. One thing has not changed and never will. God is in control, and one day soon , every mouth will be stopped, and every knee will bow.

Good stuff. Saved the best for last!

Shooting a creed is in the same category as the others? I shoot a creed, but def don’t support Biden or the other stuff!,,,,

I guess I’m out of the loop. My biggest splurges on scopes are Leupold and Vortex..around $500 each. I haven’t felt deprived at all. I even like my Redfield Revolution.

The difference between The talent Graham was able to bring in , and what Herm has brought is huge. The future looks bright at ASU. We just need a normal season with games not being cancelled and fans able to attend. I actually hope UA gets back as well. Not a fan, but competition is good.

That’ awesome. Thank you!

Wow! Well done.

I had similar service on a pair of 10x50’s that are 32 years old

Nice.

That information will be in my book.

I’ll call this. “My last $.02”. So if I’m reading things right, a hunt is a failure if it doesn’t end up with some critter on the ground. And conversely, it is a success if there is a dead critter. Every hunt I’ve been on is a success because I shared time outdoors , almost always with a friend or relative, got away from the city , business, phone calls , and politics. My son grew up hunting with my help as is my grandson now. We haven’t always come home with a critter, but it has never ruined a good time. The best lessons in life ,imo, come when things don’t work out the way we want. You don’t always get a smiley sticker on your paper and that’s ok.

...Said no one, ever

Prepare for a beat down. Not allowed to say that on here.

Let me try again..wasn’t trying to divide anybody. Just airing My opinion. I said I was super happy to see a kid succeed. To all you guys who ripped me, No need to get your undies in a wad because I see things differently than you. Great buck, congrats

Ok so I’ll probably get beat up for this, but i’m a grown man who can take it. Don’t get me wrong....I’m super happy when a kid is successful. That being said, I hate the idea of a bunch of guys going out and covering every nook and cranny and calling in the “shooter” when they find their game. To me, that’s not what it’s all about. I hated the 20 man deer drives in Iowa where I grew up. I hate it when the big shot guides do it. Last week, it was just me and my grandson hunting, figuring out where the elk bed, where they feed, and getting a cow during the youth hunt as a result. To each their own I guess. My rant is over.

Nope....not a mt. Lion
