Looks like he’s 0 for 2 on the other two tents. Maybe this one will make it the full 24 hours and Boarman can claim it. Do the people claiming these items have to sign a waiver stating that they are not going to hoard or re-sell?

Hopefully they don’t get hoarded or re-sold! I trust that you verified with them before giving them away.

Man, Kowa spotters are underrated. This is an awesome setup. That fine focus wheel is a game changer.

That’s definitely the best way to do it!

I helped a friend on his late December 36C tag in 2024 and it was a total joke. There were archery hunters crawling all over the unit. I know C is managed for quality, but there’s nothing quality about being out there with 800 archery hunters. Now with the new access issues, I wouldn’t burn any points there.

I saw two lions in the 90’s, none for many years, then saw 4 in 3 different units in a year and a half span very recently. These recommendations cut tags in a handful of units where the quota is already filled.

It’s a long story, but he’s not. I only had a little SIG P365XL on me, and that made it a little more challenging, but yeah, that was his last day alive. At that point the damage to my spot was already done, which I verified with about a dozen more trips in there over the next 4 months. It’s such a shame too, cause I was watching some studs and my dad and I drew the October tag.

I’ll take the other one. PM incoming.

In all seriousness I did see 3 rattlesnakes last September and October in an area where I had seen zero in the previous 30 years. Also, in that same area I had my deer hunt messed up by a mountain lion. Had some really great bucks I was watching all Spring and then the first day I started my late Summer/early Fall scouting I ran into a tank of a mountain lion. Never did find those deer again. Pretty sure they are lion poop now. No reason to waste your time here in AZ

Someone is getting basically brand new Swaros in that deal. At $1900 is a smoking deal.

CWT always delivers some good entertainment while I’m bored at work. This was one of the more entertaining threads in a while 😂 On a more serious note, two of my boys drew the 23 youth hunt in October. Absolutely pumped for them. Haven’t decided yet if I’m going to focus more on A or B

I’m 0 for 2 on my last two deer tags, but each of those years two of my sons have killed their first deer. I wouldn’t have it any other way. No elk tag for me this year, but we have two youth tags coming. I’m more excited than if I had my own tag.

Had two of my boys on same app for youth elk and they just got hit. They had 4 and 6 bonus points, so an average of 5.

You were off by 1 year 😂

I can confirm that as false as I was able to put my son in for the draw for deer when he was 9, turning 10 in mid July. As someone else mentioned, you cannot buy them a bonus point before they turn 10, but you can apply for a tag at 9 as long as they’ll be 10 before the hunt. Luckily you still have time to get him in for the elk draw.
