Ugh. I hate to wish away a weekend but Montana and NM results will both be out next week! Cant wait!

I guess I like the sound of it. Rich guys with governor tags eat a heck of a lot fewer bucks and bulls then lions do, and theres gonna be a lot more of them if HSUS keeps pushing and wins. Its all about money and they have never ending coffers and we need to be smart about making sure we stay a step ahead.

Too funny, man!!!! I thought I was the only one!! First thing I do when I take one out of the envelope is sign it.

220 swift with 55gr vmax

Cant a mate just come on and ask a simple question about how high usall like our feeder pens!!! Jk. I think this is somehow spam.

Whats a feeder pen?

Technically speaking you want the arrow to go through the center of your hand. Obviously that makes shooting not fun so we compromise and put the arrow rest above our hand. This causes the bow to torque the arrow when you shoot (hence why you want to cradle the grip as high as possible and not low on your palm). The Berger hole is actually higher then most rests need. Essentially you will get best flight with your arrow as close to the shelf as you can get proper clearance for fletching, broadheads, and arrow rests to fall. This usually lines up somewhere around the Berger hole, but not always.

Anybody know when they were supposed to be out last year? Was it two weeks early on the nose? Two weeks early this year puts it on April 11 which would be cool

I drew the tag in 2010 and 2016. I paid for access both times. 2010 I killed my buck on there and it had a majority of the big bucks on the unit in there. 2016 I never stepped foot on the ranch. If youve got the cash it cant hurt. I dont think they sell out the slots like they used to so you might be ok to wait and scout and if needed pay for it.

No way!?! Congrats!! I have a major urge to shoot a black buck. I heard they had some in Hawaii so I have always planned on going there for one to avoid having to go to Texas! Which ranch did you hunt?

I would do it. You waited 11 years for the tag. Thats like $7 a year for the Bo Permit. Youll spend more on gas in the first morning of scouting then you will on the permit.

If you put up a pic of the buck it will help sell it. A mature buck cape is far more desirable then a 2-3yr old. Also if you have measurements that will help as well.

Why dont you just buy beef then? Cheaper and better eating

They credit it back to your card. Not sure how that will work in your situation. Im guessing theyll send you a check or call. I tried to outsmart my cc company one time and spent all my points from my purchases to NM thinking they couldnt take them back if I didnt have them and they made my point balance negative!!! Didnt really work out!

Moose will always be reasonably close to willows. Even in the arid looking stuff they inhabit in Idaho and Wyoming, they arent far from live water with willows around it. They will move up into the sage in the summer to get away from the bugs but they always need willows. I think some of the stuff along the little Colorado up in unit 1 could probably hold moose.

Did you sell the stock with it as well?

Ill take it if youll ship it. Im in ND and can get you my ffl paperwork. Ill cover shipping as well.

I thought coming on asking for a good map to get started was a good way to start. He could have asked for honey holes or places. Instead he asked which map would be the best. You obviously have extremely limited experience hunting new areas if youve never used a map. Some places have privat roads that you will be trespassing if you go on. Antelope also have to drink, so you can use a map to find those places. I can truly say that Ive never hunted a new area without owning or atleast downloading a map of it.

Late rifle or archery? (Not even sure if they have a late archery hunt in 9?)

Get OnX as well. Once you use it you wont be able to go back. You will want a paper map as well for research and to verify.

Bump. Anyone have any info?

This sounds like a fantastic plan. Especially in areas with private land and private roads.

Im in the same boat as you. All the online reviews are either really positive or really negative. Im between a March 2.5-25 and a Schmidt and bender 3-27. I really like the size and the weight of the March. Hopefully someone here has some thoughts on them!

Is this an older one or a new production?

Thanks for the info!! Now youve got me researching this stuff to handload some wicked duck loads with those 9s!!
