Looks like last year it took 12 to be in the bonus pass. So they are 3 years out assuming no point creep. It seems to have crept about a point a year the last few years so I’m gonna say they’re closer to 5-6 years out.

You can kill a 300” bull in any unit in the state in either hunt if you look around a bit. I’d go with archery personally.

Not sure if you’re interested in a guide, but Grant’s Guide service just killed a big bull out of there. Like bigger than most of the early rifle bulls that come out of either of those units. Grant knows that country better than anyone.

As a NR I will say I was well aware of the change. I received multiple emails and saw it on social media many times. This will without question go to a draw in the near future as all OTC quotas eventually do. It’s gonna put a lot of pressure on mid tier (4-12 point draw) tags when it does as NR that are accustomed to buying OTC and building points will burn their points and then start drawing the easy to draw OTC archery tags once they have.

I came here expecting it to be a few savage 6.5 creedmoors with vortex diamondbacks on them wired together. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Congrats!! Awesome ram!!

This is badass. Huge congrats! Love those red horned rams!

Cool as heck is what it is.

This all seems in line. The 93# seems a little steep if you took the back straps. I’ve always had to pay for the pork AND the processing.

Where are you located? This have the 36” barrel?

The thing nobody tells you about decoying ducks is the decoys usually are hardly necessary. If you’re in a place to really decoy ducks well it’s because they wanna be there anyway. I’ve shot more ducks over a single robo duck in the right spot than giant spreads.

Sweet!! Ruddies swim their way into the decoys?

Sent you a PM

I think that’s a giant old ewe laying down, but I could be wrong.

Congrats! That’s what it’s all about!

Honestly could be FourBee. The biggest coues I’ve ever seen was up there.

I’m a little surprised a guide wouldn’t know how to cape a critter out for a lifesize mount?

Good luck to him. I’m no help in 36. I was sheep hunting in the gunnison area and saw a GIANT bull moose. Like woulda shot him in Alaska big! I didn’t think I really cared to shoot another shiras till I saw that one!

A shiras bull is about like a really big backwards bull elk. Fronts are heavier then hinds and more awkward to handle because of the length. Hind quarters aren’t bad. Heads and capes are heavier then a elk for sure.

You don’t need the “nitride” coating if the gun isn’t made out of chinesium like the CVA’s are. Go with the TC of that list. I’ve been around 8-10 CVA’s and 3-4 of them wouldn’t fire. Not great odds!

I have some new hornady brass. I agree with above, it’s soft as heck. Fine for light loads I suppose. If hornady spent evem 10 cents of every marketing dollar towards making decent components they’d have some really good stuff!

I’ve got one in the laminated version. Its JFK’d more blue grouse and turkeys then I can count. Dead on at 30 yards, 1” high at 50 and dead on at 100. I cut mine down to 16.5” and threaded it. I know that’s blasphemous but I couldn’t help myself when I got my suppresssor. If you still have this when I drive down for my late elk hunt we’ll work out a deal.

Also I might add that you did in fact steal this buck from someone who waited and drew the general season tag in that unit. Gohunt didn’t steal it, you did. The fact that they let people buy those antlers back is beyond me. I’ve run into countless errors in hunting publications. I always triple check hunt codes etc from gohunt, epic and huntin fool as they all will say in the fine print they aren’t the rules and are not liable for any errors.

Oh lord. This is gonna take a turn for the worse. Also here are the current season dates: OTC elk 9/15/22-9/30/22 Units 9,10,23, 3a/3c only. Rifle with long range capability preferred. Oh yeah the OTC bighorn season runs the month of August next year too. Why would GoHunt even be worth a call? That tells me you somehow were still thinking they were to blame for this?

I’ll dig around. I used to shoot those back in the pre rangefinder days. Like 3800fps out of my 7mm STW. Hold right on them out to 400 and level it on their back at 500!! Better bullet would be the 120gr hammer hunters. Those 120gr ballistic tips are like dynamite. Not big game bullets. Hammer hunters are in stock on their website. Easy to get to shoot good too.
