Lets look at the difference. With the hunter you're talking about. If he fails in his hunt because nobody helped him find game. He just doesn't get a kill unless he figures out how to hunt on his own.
In my case if I refuse help to get meat out like i've done the last 5 years. What happens? I...
If you can't see the difference in help with the hunt and help with the meat well......
I should have known to not start a thread like this. I'm done.
Thanks to everybody else.
Did I ask for help on where to hunt?
Actually, I didn't ask for help with the meat. My friend had to do a lot of convincing to make me accept his offer. My problem is medical. What you're talking about is a young healthy hunter asking where to hunt. You don't see a difference? Would you be...
As some of you know i'm old and have so many medical problems that I lose track myself of all of them. It's a long list. No whining but a fact to help you understand my decision.
For the 1st draw I wasn't sure i'd have help with getting the meat out and didn't put in for an elk tag. Elk are my...
So, how exactly is random done? I know youths go first which I don't agree with at all. I got no special treatment when I was a teen and still hunted. So, is the pick done by computer software? Names in a hat. :)
Buddy gets 1st pick? I don't trust the DOW. They just want to grab as many...
I just thought of something. With no points used for the 2nd draw. Is it just a random pick? Does the date/time you put in your app matter?
I should know this. I'm guessing it's a random draw.
What's good though is we can get tags in the 2nd draw that we didn't have enough points for in the 1st draw.
Someone who's a gambler would skip the 1st draw and go for the 2nd draw. No points needed or used.
I'm really surprised how many tags were turned back in. I have tons of options and can do everything I wanted to do. I just need to decide which way I want to go.
There's no tags available for the units I hunt. I'm hoping for turned in tags. I looked a long time ago.
I could have got an elk tag so easy in the draw but I didn't know my buddy would be available to help me with the meat. I can't do elk alone anymore.
They have youth tags. How about old fart tags? Throw us a bone we've paid in all our life and most of us are trying to live on a SS check.
I'd even take a doe tag if they let me have one every year. I'll pay for it. I just want a tag so I know i can hunt something. Too old to miss a year of...
Sure he did. All his question are looking for a specific location.
Yes, be a student of the hunt. Learn how to hunt. Learn how to scout and what to look for. Learn about weapons and practice with them until you're a good shot. Lots of stuff to learn. However, when you ask where to hunt you drew...
I feel I should do the whole hunt. I've never asked anybody where I should hunt. Isn't that an important part of the hunt? How rewarding is it if you shoot game where someone told you to find it?
I was waiting for a new rod coming by Fedex. I wanted to test it today. I see there's still no list and of course the rod didn't come yet either.
I don't have two weeks to wait. I have a gun up for sale with some guys interested. I want to see if I have a chance at an elk tag before selling the...
