Just about every company is experiencing delivery/staffing issues right now. Good luck to you.

Please let us know how it goes. Moose tags are pretty rare so we all love to live vicariously through the people lucky enough to draw. Again, Good luck to you guys.

What 7 points in the special bought last year has no relevance unfortunately. Major tag reductions are going to really change the numbers this year. A lot of people are going to be surprised when they are unsuccessful in the draw.

Points required went up across the board as expected. The crazy part is how many points it took to draw even a cow. Several guys dumping some high points to get out of the game. One person used 20 points on a cow... another 18.

I have not hunted the area so take what I say with that in mind. I did a quick google earth scout of the property and minimal online reading. I don't think this ranch will have many, if any, resident moose. This ranch appears to be fairly low elevation which would be more typical winter range...

I hear you on that topic... 90/10 won't change that though.

Of course there will be exceptions but the fact is a good portion of residents will typically apply for the hunts closer to home- spending considerably less. There are studies and data to back this up if you care to research. Yes, there are guided hunts in general areas... but not near as many...

The numbers stay the same but the allocations per area would be very different. More of those tags would be general tags. You know guys are less likely to pay for guided hunts on general tags so there would be fewer guides hired yearly for elk. As to other species, there would be reductions...

One positive to the vaccine-. I am on day 9 of having Covid. I was not vaccinated. My wife however was vaccinated and as a result wasn't required to quarantine. Nice to not have to shut down the whole household. For what it's worth, Covid did suck but I feel almost normal now.

Two ways to calculate a 90/10 split... For instance let's say there is 200 moose permits. A true 90/10 split would give non-residents 20 permits. The other way is by area. If viewing by area, non-residents would only get a permit if the area offered at least 10 permits. Under an area...

Your knowledge is typically appreciated. Your attitude is another story. You still haven't answered an important question. Do you support a 90/10 split based on total numbers?

In reality, someone just starting will wait a very long time to reach the top tier units. Points required will continue to climb. Major tag reductions due to winter kills will compound the problem. If your goal is a premium unit, your wait will be well over 30 years and maybe over 50. All of...

Congrats!

Different state but in the general area I hunted this year I saw significantly more people during archery than I did rifle. I feel the archery crowd is a bit more ambitious in getting in far from roads. During rifle I saw 3 people in a week more than a mile from a road. Want bad at all in my...

Traveling for work this week for the first time in 14 months. I agree. Our general population has lost it. Sad

This one had really white tips... truly a mixed bag here in Nebraska.

Here is a triple my son got. Bird on the right had bright white tips while the others were different shades.

We have a bunch of hybrids here in Nebraska. It's not uncommon to see everything from dark fan tips to pure white ones in the same flock. Not sure if you can really label them as a particular species here.

Things are improving even though we aren't seeing shelves full. Hornady added an entire new shift. I know other manufacturers are doing the same. Ammo is being produced and people will only stockpile so much. My guess is we start to see more ammo on shelves by mid to late summer.
