cheeze louise, Taxidermy costs just like everything else have gone through the roof. If I killed a giant elk Tomorrow I don't think I would have it mounted. would really have to think very hard about it. going rate around here was $1500 and just saw its already up to 2k. and i remember it...
I will add from my experience it seems April can be tough to call at birds also and maybe that has to do with them being flocked up yet from there wintering habits and not quite ready to breed. I have had better luck after the calendar flips to May. Esp the first week or so. In my mind I relate...
I say this same thing every year. The saying "patience kills more turkeys" than any turkey call is spot on. Ive had years like last year my son and I hunted for 2 hours and both filled tags and then ive gone 3 years without killing one. Bowhunting eastern turkeys is one of the more challenging...
Wanted to circle back on this and get some feedback? I have noticed recently that I cant see the target is well esp at 30 yards and more
Is the podium peep clarifier kit by Specialty Archery the best thing to try? any other options that might be more affordable? I really think my accuracy is...
Can someone confirm that you can bowhunt with a Type 7 tag that has an Aug 15th - Dec 31st season? im assuming you can bowhunt that entire period? just doesn't have any dates listed under the special archery dates so wanted to confirm
Im thinking less than that..... Some folks drew that last year and now 400 more tags. Any math guys care to take a look? Or to hard to tell because ya never know if a bunch of point holders might jump into that pool?
I know money isn't everything but Im more jealous that this guy has the financial freedom that he has. No way your killing 80+ bulls over your lifetime and 3 of them in the top 5 if you don't have the time and the money...
Interesting read. I also listened to some of the podcast with Haines. it would be interesting to know how many raffle tickets he purchased. Reminds me of the saying "what would you do if you had a million dollars". Also, reminds me that we are all addicted to something...... just some...
Do you have to apply then every year to make sure you don't lose your 3 points? I know other states if you don't apply after a few years than you lose them
So for Moose its going to a 100% bonus draw but you have to have a minimum of 3 points, so will there be any reason to purchase points after you have 3 ? I wouldn't think so but wanted to make sure I understand
Doesn't this report come out within hours though of the original draw? If that's the case it wouldn't make sense. Isn't there a week or 2 where you have the option to pay and or return the tag?
Im pretty sure this is a dumb question that i should of remembered but can someone explain to me how/why someone with less points would draw over others with more points? For example why did the apps with 5,6,7 points did not all draw but someone with 4 points drew??
no. exact same # from the year before. Trophy unit where they don't have any Type 8. I sure hope the extra people that applied and received the tags have permission to hunt/access through private but im sure not. probably the folks that just apply for a tag becuase thats whats available and then...
Struck out with The COW tag I applied for -- went from 100% odds every year to 30% ........ thats for a full price cow in a unit with barely any accessible public land.....
Thanks guys for all your replies it has helped me to narrow things down but in regards to Cows tasting better than bulls..... do you think this is actually true? It could just be in my own head but I swear the first bull i killed tasted better than the last cow I got...... maybe she was the...
