I will be focusing on others' hunts this year (and the foreseeable future).
My oldest son drew a tag in AZ for cow elk, so pending other draws will be doing that.
Also applied for said oldest son in NM for elk, deer, and oryx. Those might be the destination if he gets one or more of those...
When will Trump take the war on drugs seriously? We have dealers all over the country hiding in plain sight. They con me and/or my loved ones into buying their product every year. Be aware, they use well devised techniques in selling their product. Things like saying, "You know you can get 3...
This. I put my son in for multiple tags with the understanding that if he draws multiple that we likely won't be able to hunt them all, and I won't be able to get a refund. Worth the cost for the potential adventure and memories made with my son. I don't have a large disposable income either.
Thinking I'll probably put my dad in for muzzy elk. He has 18 points going into this year. It has less to do with trying to burn points because of the upcoming changes and more to do with the fact that he'll be 75 this year.
I have 18 points for elk and deer but don't plan on using them this...
Got my son's apps in as well. Elk, deer, and oryx. Put him in mostly for "easier" to draw tags as 2nd and 3rd choice with a more highly desired tag as first choice. Oryx I put him in just for the off-range hunts in what appeared to be the "easiest" to draw timeframes in hopes of getting him a...
My middle son (still young) says his top animal is ibex right now. It is my goal to take each of my sons on one "special" hunt (meaning a particularly expensive one) once they're old enough to truly appreciate it. If his appreciation for Ibex continues, a Kyrgyzstan Ibex hunt seems like it...
Perhaps even more shocking to me than my son drawing a tag on his first attempt was my wife's reaction when I said we would still apply in New Mexico and see what we get there and decide which hunt to go on. She replied with, "Can you go on more than one hunt?". Apparently my shock was...
No way. Son got a youth cow tag on first try. Assuming he doesn't draw a highly coveted tag in NM, looks like we'll be headed to AZ for the first time!
