What receipt are you guys talking about the receipt I have emailed to me just says the amount I paid, date and other generic info. Every receipt I've ever gotten shows your choices as well You can also go into your account and go back to 2011 and see every app you submitted and every choice you put. I personally print off a sheet after every app that has my hunt codes and conf numbers on it as well. I think what everyone is saying is that the only way the elusive 3rd choice bull tag would be believable is if they'd just take a second and print off their choices from the account or one of their reciepts proving that. Not saying they have to but I for one won't believe it until I see it. Computers don't make mistakes. If they made such a perfect mistake as to juxtapose your first and second choice with your third but still manage to run a draw with 150,000 applications in it without doing it anywhere else I would be shocked. Anyhow, I'll eat my words if I see proof.

You can still withdraw your NM app and re apply for a rifle or muzzy hunt in October so you don't have a conflict.

I'll believe it only if I see an app receipt with choices on it and a tag with the code on it. Until then I stand firm that they screwed up their numbers.

I'm glad you wrote something as I saw the 1lb 7oz thing and thought that was the weight on the tripod and was about to order it. Then saw that you said the aluminum was same weight which got me really fired up to order one.

I think you're looking at the head weight, the cf is 3lb 10oz and the aluminum is 4lb 7 oz.

You always have the coolest stuff.

Truer words have never been spoken, especially from a guy with a giant desert sheep in his avatar picture. How many points did that take again!?!?

You had a lot of points and put in for the cow hunts? I am all about meat hunting but you are more committed than I am. Now I'm curious too! How many points did you burn? I'm assuming if you had more then a couple points you drew 6a cow in the bonus pass?

Not a giant, I mean, I don't know what is big for coues, but I am pretty certain it is a coues.Put up a pic of it next to a beer can or something for reference. It looks pretty big to me! All I had was a 20oz bottle Nice! Looks like with spread that's a high 90's buck! In the original pic it looked huge! Good find! Was this in the gila?

$6000 for a bull elk? Wyoming commissioner tag sells for $10,000 to get to go into that unit to hunt. That's complete BS.

Is that 3rd pic a giant coues?

If you go with the 7-08 or the 7x57 give the 150gr scirocco from swift a hard look. I've killed elk, moose, deer, oryx, and a boat load of smaller stuff with them out of my 7mm STW and all of the recovered bullets could have been in an advertisement they looked so perfect. Anywhere from 15 yards to 1015.

That's way cool! Bet he was glad to drop that mess off his head!

I disagree with this theory, and here's why! There's 38 million people in Cullifornia..... not to much common sense over there!!! I did have an old man from ND tell me something once that was probably pretty true. He said "a bird has a brain the size of a pea and he's smart enough to leave ND for the winter."

You are right on. We just used crane decoys that day but the field had a hodgepodge of 700-1000 cranes, 1500-2000 Canada geese and a few thousand ducks in it the night before. We limited easily on cranes (3 each) and Canadas (8 each) (both lessers and greaters) and also killed our limit of pintails (2 each) that morning. It was a fun hunt with just me and my dad!

Here's another pile of good reasons!

Whatcha drawing every 3-4 years?

Hey Bob! It funny I felt the exact same way about my 4 years in AZ! It must be where a guy is raised. I can handle and love the cold. I'm out all winter in it, fishing, hunting, trapping, whatever it is I'm out in the cold and it doesn't faze me! When I lived in AZ I felt like the summer in the valley was exactly like winter in ND. You run from the car to your work our home and stay inside all day for 4 months (or at least I did because I absolutely despise the heat!). Anyhow, I learned to head to the mountains every chance I got, and the winters are incredible! I miss glassing the desert in January with my bow in hand soooo badly when it's cold and windy up here. But I also really love the changing seasons here. The days start to get rediculously long and it does start to warm up (65 last Saturday!). The lack of people makes for a hunter/fishermans dream!!!

Here's 103 reasons to live in ND!

You've got one heck of a preference point portfolio!!! I woulda thought 25 points would get you just about any sheep tag you wanted? You've definitely got your pick of elk tags. I'm jealous.

Wisconsin has ducks? I think if you look hard you'll find duck hunting in AZ that will rival anything in Wisco! I moved back to ND so I'm no help, but I was amazed when I lived in AZ how there seemed to be ducks just about anywhere you found water!

I think most calibers you mentioned would kill a right handed coyote too.

I've got 12 elk 12 rocky and 8 for all other species. I'm a sucker for putting in for all species in all states so they get a bunch of my money every year.

I'm getting a whole other deck from our Tucson chapter. I'll set five aside for you from that! Do you have my info from last year, still? Thanks! Couldn't find it. I sent you a pm. Thanks!
