Montana 2025 draws
Another $500 donation to FWP for me. But I am at peace knowing my returned combo will land in the hands of a twenty something youtuber who can't wait to hike into the Custer or the CMR to shoot the last living antlered mule deer in the place. Eat your heart out- Edwin

New CWD Positive deer near SD/MN Border

PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash
I don't have much left to compare them too as I've sold what I haven't been using. Leupold golden ring 12-40x60 set at 16x Zulu 16 pro My thoughts on zulus is what they lack in depth of focus and edge to edge clarity they make up for with the stabilization. After hunting with them I never... -
PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash
Not outside the store but they are nice. Most go with the 16s as they have the same advertised field of view as the 12s, but the 12s definitely seemed just a bit more forgiving and very pleasant to look through. If I went back to the hdx I would strongly consider the 12s for an all around bow... -
PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash
I sold my 42s to make room for the 50s. We did have them side by side. Both 16s. I'm used to the omniscan now so it would be hard to go back to the 42s. Battery life was just fine I've been playing with them since launch week and they are still on the original batteries. Maybe the 18s are less... -
PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash
I think you could make the argument that for the $ they aren't worth the extra $500 over the 42s but to say they are trash is wild. I had a chance to hunt behind the 16 pros for a week and the omniscan was incredible. Better light transmission and improved color with the 50mm objective and new... -
MT application, not wanting the tag?
Not talking alt list, talking released combos. This topic gets beat to death every year. Play long enough in MT and it will happen to you. And as others are saying, good luck ever drawing a permit of you're never in the draw. I'm going on a horrible record of either getting a released combo and...- Edwin

MT application, not wanting the tag?
You would hope the drawing stats include reissued tags and just shows who drew and who didn't because you do lose your points if you draw a reissued tag. But who the heck knows. I'm in with 3. If I pull a permit I'm probably out of this mess until they do away with the combo all together- Edwin

That is just the 1 pointers and the 2 pointers that didn't draw + the 0 pt quota of 4250.- Edwin

You are underestimating the point buyers who just bought a point in '22 and will buy another at time of app. That is the missing variable in the 12,000+ in line from last year + the 0pt allocation- Edwin

For those making plans for '24 remember 2 points is a good shot but won't be guaranteed. I was in the pool in '22 for BGC with 2 points. 3% of us didn't draw. That number is going to continue to grow as the system continues to be flooded with applicants.- Edwin

Defer pp purchase at time of app and go into draw with 1 point. You won't draw and you'll keep your point- Edwin

ND HB 1151
First you get cut off then they cut the mic. sheesh. I'm not optimistic 1175 will get anywhere. And the ammendment is garbage. But the discussion should bring some big question marks in years to come on how the trust operates these leases.- Edwin

ND Game and Fish coming under fire for CWD Management
You have more faith than I do. These surveys are great if everyone gets one and fills them out accurately. The survey should be attached to your online account and required to purchase next years license. Maybe that's coming, I know they sent turkey surveys online right away after the season...- Edwin

ND Game and Fish coming under fire for CWD Management
Mule deer archery harvest rates are a wild ass guess at best. Limiting archery opportunity for residents on some of the only public ground in the state should be pretty low on anyone's priority list at this point. Especially when they give out 1800 mule doe rifle tags in the 5 core badlands...- Edwin
