When is the OTC date?

Sounds like you were "Home on the range where the deer and the antelope play". In the early 90's a buddy and I went to Raton to shoot in the Nationals for High Power Silhouette. After practice we drove into NM to some volcano park and watch some similar behaviour. We watched as a group a 1000 yards away milled around then one trotted off to a barbed wire fence line and ran back and forth. Then kneeled down and went under it. Once on the other side he ran around in circles and went back to the fence. One by one they each came to the fence and went under it. Once they were all on the other side they briefly ran around together going back and forth then herded up as pretty as can be and ran off together at high speed until they were almost out of site.

You need to drop off a paper app today if you want it mailed there for Monday morning. The list is so small there will not be anything left for first come first served OTC.

Look for clearance prices after the seasons. Last year I bought 50 boxes Dove loads for $2 a box at Walmart. -
Hate to say it but they are where you find them. Like Coues.

I had Nittos and ran them for maybe 7 years then switched to Toyo. Nittos were a softer compound and would tear up easier off road and I got about 45-50K on my F250. Bough the Toyo's abut 3.5 years ago and have put 33K on them. They get rotated every 5K and I took them off a few weeks ago and they have about 4/32's left.

Unless you were Mr Wilson. People just don't realize how fast they can run, know of one tale where a guy on horseback was chased for close to a mile. I was about 100 miles east of Nome hunting Caribou in the early 90's when my BIL's podner came back alone about 10:30 as it was getting dark. Seems they flipped on of the quads and Gary went off and got lost. Big mountains but all tundra, cept for a few bottoms with sporadic willows. I had killed earlier in the day and after taking care of mine I helped the teenage son of one of the other hunters get his cut up and hung it in an old abandon building that had been part of a military radar base. Darkness takes forever up there after the sunsets but as it fell I started a fire in a 55 gallon drum at the air strip as the others went off to find him. We were about 400 yards from the miners shack we were staying in and in the rush I left my sidearm and rifle back there not expecting to need them. I remembered Don telling me that one year they were sitting there in the same spot after dark when a bear walked past them up to a quad that had some caribou quarters on the rear rack held down with bungee straps. It sniffed the meat, grabbed a quarter in it's jaws, pulled it free in one motion and sounded off into the night. There was a "shed" at one end of the air strip where some hunters would stay. Maybe 10x15 with a makeshift bunk and like most remote buildings a few supplies people would leave rather than load up and fly out with. Kinda customary, from what I gathered, to leave what you brung and didn't use so people after you would have some supplies if needed for survival. There was a message scribbled on the wall that went something like " to the dirty son of a bich who took my stove,,,," seems someone had left it there. I took another 55 gallon drum and used it to get up on the roof of the shed in case a bear decided to pay the fire a visit and so I could see past the brightness of the fire. It got cold but maybe only to about freezing and spent a few hours up there, only getting down to stoke the fire. I could see the headlights of the quads going back and forth in the distance and occasionally Garys flashlight. Finally about 1AM they all made it back. It was early September and earlier that day I was in a T Shirt but now it was pretty cold and Gary, even with his years as a Scout Leader, wasn't prepared for the emotional part of getting stranded. He had his Army P-Coat but was on the verge of hypothermia and even though back to us he was pretty unsettled. We managed to kill two more caribou the next day and Jim Tweto came in late in the day and flew us back to Unalakleet.

That time of year can be dry or 2' of snow so be prepared. It's a good tag to have. With monsoon rains hitting the rim country now would be a great time to get up there and get familiar with the unit and find potential places to camp.

Is this a Silverado? What trim package?
-
Yup, just send her a PM. Thanks for supporting the site.

This. Less pressure and the rut isn't until Christmas. If you come in from Mammoth you will need to sign in and look at past years you will see the early hunt has more success.

This thread should have been nuked two pages ago.

I have Onx. It's "ok" but nothing all that spectacular. Basic paper Topo maps in my opinion are better.
