Geez guys. Get over it. It happened. Its done. It will continue to happen. This same bitchfest happens every single draw cycle. Nothing has changed and it appears it won't change. You guys sit here and get pissed off over something you have no control over, bashing each other for what? Because people apply last minute? Wow. The draw is gonna happen. People will get drawn. People won't get drawn. The cycle will continue. Get over it. Sucks reading everyone getting pissed off at everyone over something like this.

Why are you selling?

I bought my license through the online vendor and it populated my new license when I applied for elk within 10 minutes after purchasing my license. It did for both antelope and elk. My buddy did the same thing and had the same results that I did.... It immediately populated in the license field on the application. No problems.

Maybe you'll get a tag this year? LoL.

There's turkey all over the WMAT. I imagine those hunts are an absolute blast when the strut is full on.

In this day and age, they are not going to drop the online application process. It won't happen. What we have grown accustomed to is problems with the process. The good thing is that they still allow you to submit paper apps. So if applying online isn't "your" thing (that's not directed at anyone specific) then apply with paper. But arguing about taking the online process away is doing no one any good. It will not happen.

Crazy play call! Holy cow. Let beast mode happen! Bevell will live with that for many many years ahead. Too bad that happened.

Wow. That's a crazy stud buck. Dang!

Holy crap. You had my idea of selling a package as well. I got 15's and 10x50's I'm thinking of getting on here as a package deal.

Some guys on here claim to be the saving grace of the internet and and save us all from the "hassle". Wow. Anyways, I don't know anything about 19A. If I did I'd share with you via PM. Good luck finding your spots and I am glad to see a guy spark up an interest in hunting. Hopefully you can spark that in your own kids someday. Good luck in the draw.

What is the score on the set second from the top on the left hand side of the picture..... Looks like a stud buck.

Glad to see its up. I'm gonna wait about a week til they work out the bugs just like what bone collector stated....

Unit / Dates / Weapon (or 2014 hunt numbers), # of bonus points and Res/NR. The number of applicants is important if the hunt has a low number of tags i.e. < 40. All: One Resident applicant and 4 B.P. -3141 -3118 -3007 -3026 -3024 -3025 Thanks for the information and for putting your knowledge together for us.

Good for Josh. That's a great looking buck. I'd like to read about the patterns and what the buck did differently in different seasons. Did he travel distances.... Times of the day seen.... Etc etc etc. One could come up with quite a journal of a buck with that much time spent learning him. It'd be cool to read. Anyways congrats on a slammer buck.

If you have a hunting partner, I'd move in as soon as you see the buck... Use radio communication. If he is rutting, cruising or chasing does, you don't know what he will end up doing. I can remember one time watching a good mule deer buck chasing around a doe. They were headed up into a draw so I went and positioned where I figured they'd end up getting to. After getting there i was able to watch them head up closer to where I was. Then, for no rhyme or reason, that buck just did a 180 and completely left the country. The rest of the herd just kept coming towards me. When they're rutting, it's hard to say exactly what they're gonna do. Every situation is different. I guess see what the situation is and assess it....

Piranta. Be careful. These things are amazingly sharp.

Alright, after looking at the hunt recommendations, compared to 2014, they are decreasing tags in quite a few units. For example, -1, 2B and 2C late rifle bull is being decreased by 50 tags (this past year they decreased them as well I believe) -Late 3A, 3C is being decreased by 25 tags -Decreasing tags in 27 (the late bull hunt goes back to 400; I never thought this would happen again, I was proved wrong) - They eliminated a cow hunt altogether in 27 On the contrary, they are piping tags in the 7's pretty heavily.... Do you think they have listened to hunters in the white mountains? Or is it something else?

I know there could be flaws and "lying" to mandatory reporting, but I still don't understand why we do not have mandatory harvest reporting for every species to assist with a more sound "management". Many of states do this, the Native Tribes do this, but, we still do not have this mandatory reporting. Of course, some will lie. However, I like to think that the majority of hunters will in good faith be honest with it and could help to a better management tool.

Tags equal revenue. Its going to be difficult to have decrease in tags due to that revenue. It's just a fact of the matter and g and f won't change it. Period. I personally feel that whitetail will fair the best and more trophy whitetail will exist compared to elk and mule deer. With all of these mega burns that have opened up country for elk, hunters have taken advantage and harvest more animals due to being able to see them. As far as managing wildlife on our part as hunters, it's a good idea but very very very unlikely to happen. Guides and outfitters surely won't do it. Its money in their wallet. All in all, it is what it is. Money talks and the game and fish will not take a cut in revenue by making drastic cuts in tags.

That's a great time right there! I am just getting my son started into squirrel hunting; it's a great activity to get their aim down well. Congrats on a fun hunt!

Cabelas has .22LR bulk for .05 cents per round tight now. Pretty good deal.

That's an awesome tradition your family has been able to keep up. Its very difficult to do in today's world. Congrats on some great animals. I imagine the memories are gonna last a lifetime.

They do know how to manage their game. That's for sure.

The number of tags in the white mountains has increased. Look at 27 this year.... They added 100 bull tags to the late hunt, which was already high at 400. The quality of bulls being taken in the near years to come is going to go downward. The number of animals reaching maturity are simply going to decline. Plain and simple. Look at the 22 units as an example....

.22 sold out quick.
