tjhunt2 Report post Posted June 24, 2015 I really feel for everyone who has been putting in for big horn their entire life. It's been almost 40 yrs for me and I have come to except it's not going to happen but I keep trying. I hope someone gets a tag after years of applying instead of a 1 or 2 bonus point application. Now is that being mean? Ok, I wish them just as much luck as us old timers. TJ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becker Report post Posted June 24, 2015 I have an elk tag and still on high alert I guess you could say hoping I get my deer tag!!!! While I'm excited for elk I'm a true coues junkie to the core. Would trade in my elk tag for a good coues tag any day of the week!!!! LOL 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreeneMachine Report post Posted June 24, 2015 Good luck on the draw tjhunt2. Man, can't imagine waiting 40 yrs for a tag! Personally, I'd prob stress myself out so bad if I got drawn in your situation that it'd be hard to really enjoy the hunt...would be nervous I'd mess it all up on the big one! But I'd manage!!!! Fingers crossed for you! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesFanatic Report post Posted June 24, 2015 If you have been waiting 40 years, then you must have missed a lot of years. 26 is the max points for sheep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted June 24, 2015 I remember sitting in an Elk Camp with a guy and his wife around 1987 or so and he told me he had put her in and she drew a tag and she was going to use a 257 or a 357 if she could get close enough. I think one of their relatives was a guide. Darnd if she didn't kill it with a 357 pistol later that year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
