He’s mixing and matching potential for a WY combo into the conversation, we have some shared history on a WY antelope unit.- Bullshot

2024 Colorado Draw Results Thread
Between elk and antelope I have a combined 5 decades (plus) of points. Pretty stupid I didn’t use my elk points this year… would have drawn 🤦🏻♂️ Pretty stupid I havn’t used my antelope points too… could have drawn any of the past 5-10 years… 🤷🏻♂️ Stupid is as stupid does.- Bullshot

Question about buying preference points
Dive into the way draws are run, nonresident quotas, recent or proposed changes to each state’s system, licence trends, odds, fees, years to draw, and the cost-benefit of accumulating points for a given state/species. Do not simply buy into what the states themselves tell you. Easy example is...- Bullshot

Ha, yeah I’d love to but I’m gonna be very pressed for time and weighed down with a bull and a buck if all goes well. It would be a great time. You gonna try? I do definitely want to get back there, and soon.- Bullshot

2024 Colorado Draw Results Thread
Well for once a strategy actually worked. I got a 1st rifle elk tag in a decent unit and a plains muzzleloader deer tag. Colorado bound! Well…. unless I draw something else in the meantime, as I’ve got a few more LE / low odds irons in the fire….- Bullshot

Added a deer point and got a 3rd choice license for my back pocket. Should be able to combine with my chosen elk unit if I draw that too, which would make for a hectic and fun trip west.- Bullshot

Tics not Tik Toc
This is not accurate. 1st instar (larval) ticks do not have nor transmit Lyme disease. They must feed on an infected animal, typically a mouse, 1st. Those “dust” like, patches of newly hatched almost invisible ticks are thus very annoying (can get everywhere, even between fingers and toes) but...- Bullshot

Neck shots.
I have dispatched some animals with a neck shot after an initial shot but for some reason, I’ve never taken one up front and to be honest it never even occurs to me in the moment. Surely I’ve missed opportunities by waiting for broadside. I might need to drum into my head that the shot IS an... -

Health of BLM lands
As an out of towner, I am no expert, but still feel from my experiences that its pretty much the norm when seeing a beautifully managed parcel of land to guess correctly that its private ranch, vs seeing a patch of overgrazed wasteland and guessing correctly it is BLM.- Bullshot

2024 Utah Draw Results
I am a little baffled by how little I am bothered by another across the board unsucc and amused by any NR upset by it, when so few tags are issued and we all know, or should, going in. Utah just remains a someday, OIL kind of state for me and most others. Good luck to those in the WY elk draw (i...- Bullshot

Last day to change or withdraw app
I helped the odds and withdrew. Quota was cut in my preferred zone so only random was possible. Figured I’d keep accumulating points instead, which allowed me to put in for Utah, since I don’t want to risk drawing both in same year. -

throwing good app money after bad and repeat
Went to the river again locally and saw, cast to, and then hooked (and lost) a large muskie on 8lb test from shore. My heart raced more from this brief encounter than I’ve experienced on many of my western hunts and without the 30 hour drive and thousands spent…. Motivated by this, I went to a...- Bullshot
