Well done on drawing a tag. I will be further to the west of you with a Gen tag.

Ok, probably not a proper statistical description but by my reading 5 points was 100%, 100% and 93% so pretty close :)
Good point about trying in the random pool, and may do this in future. Not that's its a big deal but when I apply I also get hit with $NZ - $US - $NZ exchanges so try and not...

I’ve only had one ‘high pressure’ tag and I learnt about pressure, shot a bull first hour of the season and that was long enough lol
Hoping my son draws a youth elk tag this year in NM, fortunately he’s a very relaxed kid so we will probably...
