Tough year…new normal!
At least there doesn’t appear to be any increased outfitter welfare or auction tag expansion. Count our blessings?- Zim

2024 New Mexico Draw Results
Same as it ever was. But that’s why I set up my long term plan the way it is. Always reserve one preference based tag/year so I don’t have to depend on luck. This year Utah deer OIL.- Zim

NM Elk Draw
Totally agree. However, I can tell you the odds for my unit 45 archery flipped from 90% to 10% the year of the welfare legislation, and only got worse. It was very significant. NR tags dropped what?…..from 16% to 6%? Been a while I forgot the exact numbers. Since then the blind masses have... -
NM Elk Draw
Yes, before the outfitter welfare legislation I drew my first 6 consecutive years, including the Valle Vidal, units 49, 52 & 45. The archery odds were ~90% those years. My how things have changed. I've not drawn any of these archery hunts since 2011. 0 fer eleven, even via the guided pool... -
NM Elk Draw
I’ve been hunting NM since my first Western trip back in 1996. Over the years, I’ve watched the odds for my favorite unit drop gradually from 90% to this year’s all time low 2%. This is definitely not a trophy class unit. Strictly mid/low-tier. Three other low-tier units I hunted over the... -
Colorado Draw Changes
Of course I’ve known that for years, but I saved them for a few reasons. First, the season dates never overlapped my other hunts well for combos. Plus I spread out preference point states as opposed to bonus, to be assured I could always have at least one hunt/year I knew I could draw. I don’t...- Zim

Colorado Draw Changes
Well now I’m glad I burned my elk points in 2022 despite I got sick. Because with this change I’d have never drawn. I doubt this change will hurt my 28 lope points, but 15 deer points will definitely take a hit. But not unexpected as all the states routinely bait-n-switch these days.- Zim

2024 AZ credit card hit
Excuse us, but banana whacker is always the instigating troll on HT, never the other way around. It seems he has no life outside of HT, living here like 24/7. And no respect for other’s opinions, even when his hunting experience & success is inferior. Gets off on blindnessly encouraging...- Zim

2024 AZ credit card hit
Again, no mention of Randy. What’s that?……Like 15 times you evaded my question? How many times, Banana? Is that a cob up your ass, or a banana?- Zim

2024 AZ credit card hit
William, If I recall correctly, it is not a stick, but actually a cob which is firmly wedged up gr8banana’s ass. I thought both him & coloradogirl went to a proctologist in Denver for proper removal, but it appears there was some complication? Anyway, I wish them both the best of luck in their...- Zim

2024 AZ credit card hit
Gr8banana, WTF dude, I have enough preference points stacked to draw one OIL hunt in 2025, 2026, 2027 & 2028 alone, if I live that long and can still walk. So I don’t need any random tag hits. They are just a bonus, which often I don’t even have the energy for. After that, I may rely on luck...- Zim

No hit here, none expected. Did lower my units giving myself better odds in the random.- Zim

Doom & Gloom
I’m pushing 65 and was lucky to start early so I did everything on this list, except most in premium units. Only lacking is NE deer & BH sheep. But now my body resembles the Beverly Hillbillies jalopy, less one tire.- Zim
