    So where is everyone hunting this year?

    I lucked out this year with an archery buck tag for big 6, horns longer than ears for 67/68 and a party cow tag for 61/71E. My wife got the 61/71 any legal weapon bull tag with only 2 points! She got her first big game animal last year with a late buck tag near Ely, then lucked out again this year.

Would quartering the deer and putting the quarters on ice in my coolers as soon as I...
