Wyoming "Random" Elk Draw
I have drawn several WY tags over that 27 years, but all via the preference pool. Never the random.- Zim

Ya I doubt you need to worry about that 🤔. Even at max NR points the odds are likely well below 1%. After drawing NH in 2012, I just look at Maine as playin with house money.- Zim

2024 Nevada Draw Results
Just getting to see ~390 & ~400 bulls was a lifetime memory I won’t forget. And going in to that hunt my goal was 350+, which I made by 2/8” lol. I did not wound anything. So I was never disappointed in my decision. In 29 years of elk hunting, I’ve only seen 3 of that caliber. The third was...- Zim

Ya that was part of my rational making the decision. My thought was to buy in on the ground floor, then see how the point creep & odds developed & possibly drop out. But after seeing how elk tags have gone nation wide, glad I bought in. You are correct. If I had a point less, I’d drop out.- Zim

The 350" gave me a broadside 10 yard shot. He only went 15 yards after the hit. A long time ago. When draw odds were actually reasonable.- Zim

I don't take quartering towards shots, or any marginal for any reason. Second bull was especially frustrating as he was standing still just 40 yards from me, twice. But I could not try that shot. Seen the results of such shots that others took. Tracked forever with no recovery. No regrets...- Zim

When they did that I debated adding all the extra apps to my deer points, as I figured I’d never get to use them. To my surprise 15 years later, it looks like I’ll actually get an elk hunt out of that. Likely nothing special, but at least a decent elk hunt.- Zim

You’re not the guy from Idaho I helped on that hunt, are you? I drew that tag in 2007, and shot my best bull 350+. Great hunt now with the worst odds in NV lol. Later helped a guy to a 399. I passed on a couple borderline 400’s. Awesome just to see.- Zim

2024 Nevada Draw Results
My plate is now full after hitting in Utah & two slammer Midwest draws. Would be happy just stacking points in Nevada. Prefer to focus on what I have rather than plan a combo hunt. At 65 with two torn Achilles & heart failure, I need to allocate my energy. Would rather see fellow Hunt Talkers...- Zim

It’s official. Waited a long time for this. Door knobs & public places are strictly taboo starting 7/15. Not getting screwed again by some jackass dragging their sick kids around town spreading their love. One OIL tag pissed away is enuf.- Zim

2024 Utah Draw Results
I know I’m getting old when I keep thinking about the positives if I don’t draw. I will avoid the inevitable Achilles pain. The bigger positive of drawing is more burning my points than going on the hunt 🤔. Tired of the points treadmill. Look forward to burning more next year.- Zim

Montana S/G/M results 2024
Can you strap a 6 hp Mercury on there? It's a little dicey 3 mile trek in the dark. One of my personal barrier-to-entry rules is to not hunt anywhere a guy would take a kayak. So usually minimum 2 miles from any boat launches. I use a 10' folding plastic Port-a-Bote that displaces just 4" of...- Zim
