Thank you for your interest in the madtom wilderness guide program. We regret to inform you that you were not selected for the 2023 wilderness resident guide elk hunt. Should your credentials improve in the future, we encourage you to apply again.
1. What tag do you have? If not general elk, read no farther.
2. Do you have a wilderness honey hole full of 6 pt bools (rifle season - no real grown up has time for archery hunting)?
3. Do you have pack animals?
4. Are you fun to be around?
If you said yes to all of these….🤔
I grew up less than an hr from Omaha, and lived in Lincoln for about three years while getting my masters at UNL. The Omaha zoo is extremely legit if your group is interested in that sort of thing - could easily spend a whole day there. Lincoln is a nice town, but I wouldn’t say there’s anything...
I can’t help but think his wife wished she shot the buck the first year, so she wouldn’t have to deal with her husband being a douche for the next half decade.
Consoling your crying husband over a pile of deer bones has to be a low point of marriage satisfaction.
I guess my only point was I don’t know what constitutes “fully recovered” or who determines it with what measuring stick. This was just the best idea I had. Happy Monday.
I’d like WGF to implement an annual Groundhog Day-like ceremony, where Jeff comes out of his burrow and officially proclaims whether the herds have recovered or not.
Elk are both way hardier for winter and way over objective for most of the state. They’ll still be way over objective even with the snow tipping a few over.
I’m not sure that I would withdraw as a NR. No reason to expect things to rebound for at least a few years, meanwhile point creep balloons even quicker while quotas are low. Might be smart to draw while you can.
