Thats awsum the hunt for heros deal is way cool

Yeah I know " I aint one of the cool kids anymore"

nope, far from cheap dont ich and moan about it either. heres my "lame" analogy . its kinda like helping the beggers on the street , you pay for it and every year and they still make you feel guilty that you dont give more

Because you put in for the wrong unit. northern units dont have good draw odds you need to put in for units in the desert area's they are almost always 100% success. I get drawn for yuma area every year I put it.

guessing because ELK Poacher was already taken

LMAO, Daughter always looks foward to elk hunting or killing any animal. I and, longshooter and a few other friends told her it might be better for her back in the kitchen where most women should be after the last 3 hunts ; this is the last year I can draw a tag for her. after that she is on her own

I dont get upset at the draw or try to think too hard about it. I put in the units I want no matter what the odds. if I get drawn great if not archery deer and yotes. would much rather hunt yotes. than elk anyway as I can go with anyone i know that gets drawn and have just as good as time. only thing I faith fully put in for is deer in the north rim units and bighorn you gotta admit its hilarious when the draw starts people trying to figure our there stats and then the cards start getting hit. I bet the Pharmacy's sell a ton of Blood Pressure medicine, then next best time is when the e-scouters hit the boards. the only way G&F could make the system more fair is to eliminate all bonus points and use a true 100% lottery system.

I hadnt looked at co regs in a long time. they changed alot since the mid 90's(there regs are a ton easier to understand now as well glad they cleaned that part up. back when we did it we got deer and elk and fishing/small game for right around 300 bucks for OTC in 3 different seasons 1st 2nd or 3rd now its 661 for just non res elk and fishing for non res youth is 100. but they do have either sex in archery in most of the state, from what I read. no more deer OTC unless its whitetails in certain units most are private property like there OTC lope tags they offer. if your into archery though it might not be a bad deal as the either sex option has a ton of areas and the way I read it(someone will have to confirm) you could hunt ALL those units with the OTC either sex tag. Rifle bull OTC seems to have the same units as back when, higher price and also I think you can hunt all the units that are open with the same tag. I thought before your otc tag was for specific areas and units only maybe I was mistaken. A land owner tag from NM maybe be cheaper but I doubt it. you may want to try land owner tags in WY and possible Montana. Idaho looks like a better option if you dont want a land owner tag. Its not a bad deal of a kid 17 years old. 100 bucks.

I got a account when they 1st came it, it never showed anything for a few years, the year before last I called and asked whats up with that. the lady was trying to figure it out as well. on one page you had to add your sportsman id or your ss number . mine was backwards once I add'd my ss number for the sportsman id number (or the other way around as I put in the wrong number) it worked perfectly. some of my buddies on another forum had done the same thing when they swapped them it also worked for them. of coarse it was because I didnt read the fine print at the time that explained it.

man you guys get wigged out to easy. who cares if its march 15 or march 1. Me personally I wish they would go back and make everyone pay up front for everything in full then issue a refund if you didnt get drawn, would knock out on alot or people and make tags easier to draw. but then I would miss reading the boards watching adults cry about how they were dissed and the draw system is not fair. not to mention the statistic clowns getting all mathematical then having a stroke cause they didnt get drawn while some poor shmuck gets a tag with 0-3 points. ah the good old days

do they still offer combination tags for muelys and elk? all 4 times we went they did. deer had to be 4 point or better and elk if I recall had to be branched

Figured this had to be the scenario from the beginning of your story. CO OTC seasons are nuts with people nowadays. Tough to get away from the crowds. Kinda like the circus that 6a/6b can be. I've hunted Routt and San Juan, would do San Juan again if I were to choose between the two. I have heard good things about Grand Mesa and Gunnison. Good luck and surely with a solid plan you guys are going to have an enjoyable time regardless of success! Always wanted to hunt gunnison heard that was a very rough hunt but very rewarding ith tons of elk. the durango/cortez area back in the 90's looked like a California traffic jam. we drove that area seeing if we wanted to hunt it back then, thats why we headed up to the white river wilderness. I Would equate durango / cortez with opening day of dover hunting here close to the valley but for 3 entire seasons. lol buddies have gotten nice bulls and bucks out of that area every year, they told us you just have to deal with it. for a bunch of old guys they were pretty patient

Thanks for the update. that was pretty much the same last year, it was good a few weeks before and a few weeks after, but during it was tough. kid and I covered alot of ground between phx and unit 8 and chino we called in very few and only got 1 shot at one 400 yards away I hit in the butt. personally I think we covered to much ground. we should have stayed in one area like we normally do and call in a bunch. Kid wants to go out sunday so we might head up to unit 8 and hunt below the snow level.

put on make-up?

what is that? one of those North Vietnamese Geisha girls

This ^^^^^^^^^ and the dust guy below. if freezer works thats the only problem you can have.

I know that I just didnt want to say which one you were , you gotta admit when longguner sees that he is going to agree with me

no people cant everything on the net is serious all the time. Since I got rid of my big board I alwasy wondered if people stay up crying and talking about so and so said this or so and so said that. I would get calls 24 7 about someone being picked on. I usually posted the emails on line to show how foolish people can be. the best one ever was the patch pirate guy from cally oh wait there was 2 of them but only one cried about it on emails and phone calls and of coarse the Famous I am going to SUE you letters

Let me guess your the guy with the "DIFFERENT" colored fish

Russians are at it again, i thought the FBI and doj had that all figured out on friday

I thought it was funny when you posted it, had to been a mistake as the reason it got deleted. or someone has a issue with trophy hunters kidney

I scored unit 9 early archery last year with 5 bonus points.. Good luck man yeah I scored unit 8 early bull archery with 0 points 3 years in a row well I got it 2 years in a row daughter got it the 1st year she put in just figured I would rub it in a tad ') I've heard game and fish has a soft spot for the gay community. Probably the reason you got drawn 2 years in a row and probably why you'll draw again the year. How you doing n. I'm heading to shop in a hour swing by if your let out of the kichen and have time in between getting groceries and doing laundry

Bear claws the best invetion in the world. we have a few sets as well and works extreamly good for pulled pork.

Tres there is no real learning. its stupidly simple. you look up temp on internet and how they prep it , you toss in wood at bottom in pan turn on and forget it, every once in a while you toss in more wood. and when they say take out wrap with towel and put in cooler do it dont skip this step. I always cook over night its done by 1pm-4:30pm 1st time we did it I got up at 6am started it went back to bed. at midnight it was finished we ate it the next day. Theres this thing called stall ( you will see it on the net from time to time)its real and it last up to 4 hours. you have to go by temp NOT TIME if you dont have a digital meat thermometer buy one we have one in the master built but I bought another wireless one with 2 probes. it reads consistent with the master built. we do pulled pork all the time best its the best we have had always tender and just like real pulled pork from places in kansas, texas etc etc not like the crap at most of these places in arizona. with the exception of the old "Love joys"" one thing you will find is your going to be making your own bbq sauce and rub cause store bought sucks. My kid makes the best it was here idea when she was 10 kinda her and my thing to do together. I never cleaned mined mine, only the racks and grease trap as that way its seasoned. I leave the tar on the sides and window there. it adds alot of flavor if you have dry meat put water in a pan at the bottom. the fattier the meat the better.
