    Illinois deer drawing

    I bought it used on FB Marketplace $500. Then paired with a very dependable used 6 HP Mercury kicker motor from a local dealer $900. Obviously I only use it on small bodies of water, but I mostly just hunt Illinois public land backwaters, marshes, shallow feeder streams. I often get out and...

    Illinois Dream Buck

    I had a great public scouting season this spring and drew a sweet gun permit too. Hoping to stick another good one this November. But not holding my breath for a 190+ lol.

    R U in for the leftover draw?

    “R U in for the leftover draw?” No. Not even worth considering given the current dad……I mean kid entitlement system. Don’t we already have enough welfare tags? I have had more than my share of quality hunts over the years, but I know many tagless senior sportsmen that deserve better. Kids...

    2023 Wyoming?

    I bailed years ago with no regrets. Just pissing money away with those odds. I’d buy Bitcoin before I applied there. 😂 CO, NV & AZ provide me a flicker of hope for far less.

    Glad I don’t depend on drawing something in any of these random pools in any of the 8 states I apply in. Because I never get one. Each year I pick one state where I know my preference based points will get me one premium quality hunt. And from there sprinkle around it all the random based...

    Dying with points?

    Ya with 22 that’s the no brainer of the century do CO 61 2nd rifle. No man’s land for anything else. And that’s a great unit I burned 25 on the archery hunt just before. Had big bulls pegged at the last day of my season.

    Dying with points?

    What many don’t realize is there’s some states you ain’t gonna draw even with 12-22 NR points in the lowest tier units, like Nevada, Utah, Maine. And others like WY where no man’s land guys are throwing their points at crappy units, creating bad values, just so they can get out and apply in the...

    Dying with points?

    This appears to be the reality for me. At 63, I’ve had a pacer for 8 years. Monday echo-cardio gram indicated an ejection fraction of only 30. Arteries clear. Need electrician, not plumber. Doc starting me on some new drug. As if that’s not enough, I’ve been dealing with torn Achilles...

    Dying with points?

    Lol, I drew NH moose w/max NR points in 2012 and my buddy chatted with a logger for ten minutes. Had a 53” on the ground the next morning DIY. Top ten bull in the state that year. I tipped him well.

    Dying with points?

    I have 20+ points in many states. At 63 lots of wheels falling off. Feet & knees are lowering my access ability compared to my youth days. Will spend most my Wyoming archery elk hunt scouting for wallows and tree stand hunting. Strategize to draw one premium hunt each year in preference based...

    New from Michigan

    Long time member from NW Indiana here. Just had my first Michigan hunt last month, in Berrien County. Turkey hunt lasted two hours lol. Used to do cheap WI for years but found I ended up spending more on hotels. I can hunt both MI state & HAP properties from home here. But would not even think...

    What town you in? I live in (LaPorte NW corner) and have elk hunted for 26 years, but mostly trophy hunt with a bow.

    Yes that’s what I’m wondering. I’ve been applying in multiple states since 1996 and never had this before. No mortgages, no car loans, no revolving credit debt, no debt of any kind. Home & cars paid off. And 8 CC’s with over $100k in unused credit.

    Gr8banana, Why troll someone else’s thread if you have no interest? I don’t care about 99% of other’s threads, including yours, but I don’t troll. I just don’t visit them. I save trolling for walleye.
