Lmute Report post Posted June 10, 2020 41 minutes ago, jim said: My 11 year old grandson drew it this year. It's going to be my funnest hunt of the year. Don't know about the diamond a. I would def get the big bo permit. I can not imagine having the tag and cutting off half the unit unless you find a giant off the ranch before the bo opens for public scouting. Congrats on the tag! After diving into to some more maps it seems like the Diamond A ranch is part of the big Bo. I think the plan is to scout the more public ranches and learn habits as well as spot and stalk strategies. I’m able to be out there the whole duration of the hunt so turning in my tag isn’t in my plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wayuptheroad Report post Posted October 29, 2020 Yikes same here also 25 points and no draw! Guess there are a lot of us going into next year with 26 points. Been scouting anyway, very very dry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats, hope you slay a toad. Count your blessings. Unit 10 is on a bad path. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very few antelope are in the big bo anymore.. I did fill my tag on the 8th day though! Not quite Pope and Young but it’s my first archery kill so it’s a trophy to me! good luck out there everyone! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same as the early rifle bull elk hunts there a few years ago. Way too many tags. They’ve been hunted into the ground. Not just hard to find bucks, hard to find goats. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coueswt Report post Posted October 30, 2020 Too many antelope tags and no predator control on ranch due to new rules. Blame G&F for too many tags and Wildlife Manger for ranch that limits access which equals a lot of coyotes and no fawn survival. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
