Thanks all. I don't win anything. Ever. Until now.
It's a once in two lifetimes tag at this stage of the point game....
Antler growth might be astounding, moon phase lines up. Gonna be a long 6 months.....

Do you have your hunter Ed point? Yea my buddy and I drove over to kingman 6 years ago for the class, the online class sure made it extra easy for a point and added to the point creep issues!

Crazy you didn't draw 10 this year. You are right there. Some out of the blue guys likely entered the runnings this year due to conditions with a bunch of points.

Part of the deal when trying to draw some of the best elk hunts available , congrats on getting your dream tag it should be over the top hunting, my hunting partner drew 23 late rfle and killed a real nice bull hunting with Greg Krogh

Greg, brother, you are a deer hunter. You don't know crap about elk. This is a hunt of a lifetime. Please do your research. There is plenty of info in this Elk sub-forum. You need a 300 WBY. No need to risk it on this hunt of a lifetime. Take note of what Governor's tag holders use. Be like them.

My card got hit, so based on my app, I know I have Rifle, last week of Sep. Either "Any" or "Antlerless." Odds favor "Antlerless" but hoping for "Any." Should know this week, I expect.
Rex Antlerless. Still thrilled to be out during the rut. Gonna try out my "new" 1903 Springfield 9.3x62.
