Commissioner Tag Habitat Raffle: SOLD

It was, I meant 102.

Although I'm not sure why so many residents put in for it.
That country has some great genetics. On a good moisture year, there are some tanks that come out of that desert country. I just met a fella the other day who lives in RS and has hunted it for himself and others often. Says there are a lot of 27+" bucks but often they don't throw the deep forks, or enough forks in general to score that well.
 
quite a few 200” deer are spotted there every year… how many come out of those 2 units in full velvet? I know notta about them….

There are a couple of other high country hunts that would likely provide as good of quality potential that one could pick with a Comm. tag. 141 and 117 in particular.
 
My first questions to anyone who uses that tag on a pronghorn;
“Do you feel safe at home?”
“Do you know what year it is?”
Elk are big dumb animals, pronghorn are graceful, witty creatures.

Or maybe I'd just rather get up at 8 am, eat breakfast, walk a half a mile and pack out 50 lbs of meat and horn vs spending 2 weeks sleeping in a hammock on some ridge line, eating some crappy freeze dried BS, hiking 200 miles and packing out 200lbs of meat and horn😆
 
In all honesty, if I won the tag, and someone knew of a unit where I could 100% get a bull bigger than a 5x5 no more than a mile from a road, I may change my tune. I wouldn't want to spend a tag like that on a 30% success rate after hunting your heart out for 2 weeks unit, I can do that for cheap here in Colorado 🤣

All I can say is , roger that. Pronghorn is a fun hunt.
 
It would be a hard decision for sure, but only between elk and mule deer. All these years I've put in for the same elk unit without drawing (already mentioned on this thread) and I think I'd still consider skipping it for for a late season mule deer tag.

Monday is the big day. Someone is going to have a damn good start to the week.
 
Do we have a Harry Gibson from FL in here!?
It sounds as if congratulations are in order. Harry Gibson (FL), I wish you the best of success, however, if you find you cannot accept this opportunity, contact me at your earliest convenience. I'm sure we could work something out (wink, wink).
