Yeah they've had it capped at 100 tags the 3 previous seasons. I haven't hunted region 6 since 2023 which was pretty much rock bottom based on my observations. Hopefully its improved some since
Just got this in the mail this week and was impressed with the details of the survey. Good to see they're including antler measurements and proper aging techniques. Does anyone know if this is a new survey for deer permits? Ill probably call the bio and pick his brain and I can report back.
Another $500 donation to FWP for me. But I am at peace knowing my returned combo will land in the hands of a twenty something youtuber who can't wait to hike into the Custer or the CMR to shoot the last living antlered mule deer in the place. Eat your heart out
The only thing I know for sure, is that if buzz was born 20 years later he'd be crying louder than anyone else. But he got what he was entitled to so fck everyone
They absolutely are checking for it. Thousands of deer were tested in SE ND in 2023 as that was the target zone for monitoring. Zero detections were found

With the 2023 chronic wasting disease surveillance season completed, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department reported 11...
I don't have much left to compare them too as I've sold what I haven't been using.
Leupold golden ring 12-40x60 set at 16x
Zulu 16 pro
My thoughts on zulus is what they lack in depth of focus and edge to edge clarity they make up for with the stabilization. After hunting with them I never...
Not outside the store but they are nice. Most go with the 16s as they have the same advertised field of view as the 12s, but the 12s definitely seemed just a bit more forgiving and very pleasant to look through. If I went back to the hdx I would strongly consider the 12s for an all around bow...
I sold my 42s to make room for the 50s. We did have them side by side. Both 16s. I'm used to the omniscan now so it would be hard to go back to the 42s. Battery life was just fine I've been playing with them since launch week and they are still on the original batteries. Maybe the 18s are less...
I think you could make the argument that for the $ they aren't worth the extra $500 over the 42s but to say they are trash is wild. I had a chance to hunt behind the 16 pros for a week and the omniscan was incredible. Better light transmission and improved color with the 50mm objective and new...

Not talking alt list, talking released combos. This topic gets beat to death every year. Play long enough in MT and it will happen to you. And as others are saying, good luck ever drawing a permit of you're never in the draw. I'm going on a horrible record of either getting a released combo and...
