I would say you guys are out of control, but given the circumstance, well I guess you're really not...

Good luck today. And DR... don't be looking me up and texting me what I got (or didn't get)!...

Notice DR didn't make any predictions for himself... with his drawing luck last year, I'm afraid he may have just jinxed all of us...

Looks cool to me! Who's blood did you use?

Those would make for some great taxidermist ear position reference shots! Well done.

Where are you coming from?

You will have all sorts of options that fit your criteria without having to draw a tag. The Mendocino NF would be your closest area to Sac to hunt true blacktails with...

This is great program you are bringing attention to, Thank You. I wish they were taking NR prospects! Best of luck and keep up the good work.

As far as refunds from CO go, are they literally mailed (they keep using the word "mailed" in the regs), or are the funds just credited back to your account/card like everywhere else? I just want to...

I imagine there would be a number of differences between antler restrictions on whitetails vs mule deer. The high grading you talk about is probably more apt to occur in a whitetail hunts, although I...

No kidding. I really wish more states would implement a minimum antler point harvest restriction for everyone but juniors, even if it were on an every other year basis or annual rotation within...

I assume this is an effort to reduce some of the interspecific competition for the mule deer herds? This is just my opinion, but I think the increased elk abundance puts as much or more pressure on...

While your calculator is out, look at how much better the odds were for you to draw your antelope and elk tags because of the waiting period rule. Who's to say the waiting period for those who drew...

I say go for it! I will be graduating on May 11th with a Bachelors in the conservation/restoration and biological sciences realm. I can tell you right now, just having spent my life outdoors hunting...

Oh I would be tickled if they kept some of it... as long as at least a couple species worth comes back!

LOL... I'm ready to get my pile of money back!

We're about 10 days out from the official results date. I can't remember, does NM usually post them early, or is it pretty much the day they advertise?

My understanding is that as long as you apply for ANY species in the state and purchase the license, you will not lose points for species that you didn't apply for, even if the two years has passed....

Whatever you can scout more, hands down. It's all about what you put into it... as with everything.

My girlfriend Kristin and I each got one opening day with our bows.

It's all over the place in most of my deer areas. I shot a buck with my bow once and it actually died IN a grow near the bottom of a canyon. You get used to it, and honestly it's not nearly as scary...

Gotta ask Humbletaxi. My guess is he will say calling them elk is much too slang.

How about... "I shot him right behind the front shoulder!" ... as if deer have back shoulder???

Haha! This is getting hilarious.

I'm in month 12 of hitting the gym, track, or bike 5-6 days/week just about every week. Last year at this time I think I was about 158 14% BF, with a 220 max HR. Today I'm at 174, single digit BF,...

Exactly, it was hilarious because it almost made more sense than the actual "DIY" label!

How about when "DIY" is repetitively spelled "DYI"? I remember someone on here said "What does DYI stand for? Do Yourself In?" That cracked me up!
