    The Big Snip - How bad is it?

    I've had worse things happen in my life. Just make sure you do nothing for 3 days even if you feel good. Had a friend go duck hunting a few years back 2 days after his vasectomy. After waddling around in his waders in mud for a day his nuts swealed up to the size of grapefruits.

    Lessons learned: hunting partners

    Good hunting partners are hard to find, they cant care what things cost or the cost to get there. Success is something I always strive for but a guy has to be comfortable with the unknowns. I like to hunt by myself but its also nice to have someone there with to celebrate or as a moral boost...

    Dare I ask???

    I use a stiff filet knife. I think I paid 13$ for them. They are thin, sharp, strong Lightweight and cut extremely well. Don't overthink it.

    Another moving to a new State question

    I'd be in South Dakota somewhere, probably Hot Springs area for the winter weather and close proximity to multiple great states to hunt.

    Suspension/shocks

    I run Firestone air bags with the on board compressor, Its nice to have when you have a load and when you dont have a need just run them at 5lbs so you maintain the good stock ride.

    Second Choice Antelope

    Like Buzz said, the ship has sailed away. Western hunting has become a achievable feat for many people these days. My old go to leftover unit is now pretty much a 1 point draw now, thanks onyx maps.

    South Dakota or Nebraska?

    Yea the good county's like Harding will take a non resident 6-10 years on average to draw, Butte county a NR guy can probably draw in 3-5 years. I don't think South Dakota holds a candle in the wind compared to Wyoming in numbers/size/sure opportunity to hunt antelope and not wait 3-10 years to...

    South Dakota or Nebraska?

    I personalty wouldn't waste my time applying for a SD antelope tag for a rifle that is , first of all they are hard to draw there, The big ones are mostly on private. If you just want to kill a antelope it could be for you. Deer hunting with archery has changed since a guy cant hunt till Oct 1...

    WY Pref Point Disappointment

    Im burning my 10 points this year. I never building more than 2 or 3 points in Wyoming again. It could be just my way of thinking but how many stud 190" deer are getting killed on these max points hunts compared to a lets say a 8-10 point guaranteed hunt?
