I wish! Tried this last Saturday, sat up at 0400, realized I was 3 hours of continuous effort from where I needed to be. Went back to bed. Was a grouch the rest of the weekend. Gonna try that again tomorrow, but from only 1 hour from where I want to be.

@jimss, the fire alarm should have already happened. This is the continuation of something that started years ago. If you think you can talk Buzz into leaving the allotment alone, then you might have a chance with the committee. I do this stuff down here. They talk about it a bit, get...

Buzz - I do hunter stuff down here and we get very low turnout from the hunters. Can't even get em to fill out a questionnaire but they sure whine if you make a change that had a public comment period. You-all should push for the 90/10 thing. Make the big 5 once-lifetime. Tear off the...

@mallardsx2 Same here - no travel hunting for me this year. Pulled 3 permits for FL so the fall isn't a wash.

07:20 eastern time. Where's that email?

I'm pacing the floor right now.

The first hunts I went on were small game hunts - pretty much walking along with dad, me carrying mom's 20 ga sxs. Never saw much but got to shoot the gun every time out. One trip we bumped up a pair of black ducks, dad missed but that image is etched into my memory and hooked me on duck...

Best of luck to you. Sounds like you'll be busy. Wishing you the best for your hunting season. Did you hear on the moose draw?

@eaglemountainman - I have family in New England. Was there when they started the moose lottery and my dad poo-pooed the lottery, so we didn't do it. If we'da applied probably would have had a moose hunt or two by now. My uncle, who's never one to miss a raffle, has drawn tags for ME and NH...

I hope you can draw. That's a long wait.

Waiting impatiently. Just wanna know so can get on with my life. WY and FL (quota) results come out about the same time. Driving me nuts.

I'm waiting for quota draw results before heading out and setting some cams. Have a 10K+ acre hunting area that I've not made it more than 2 or 3 miles into and need to get 4 or 5 miles to check out the tough to reach areas. This is all FL swampland and 100# whitetails. Thinking about rigging...

I was surprised at how many units are 0 pts or leftovers. Plenty of easy opportunity on CO.

Folks on another forum are saying they've got tags and CC hits. Sounded like it has happened or "is happening".

How'd you do? Was there a serious point creep/jump?

It all depends on what you are looking for - an 80 inch antelope? or just a "nice goat"? I did a 0 point unit in 2017 and ended up 25 yards from a huge herd buck. Had 4 doe tags and no buck tags. That's pretty much why he was there. Very neat encounter and got my first antelope. The hunts...

I have to say that this is necessary - eliminate doe harvest in the affected areas... Kinda crazy to think that 7 points in the special isn't enough for a decent hunt. The overtaxed system is a joy-killer for sure. Can't control the weather or the herd. Just hope for the best and run with...

7 points in a special draw can do you pretty well for Antelope. I'm ready for the draw to happen - just want to know what I'm doing this fall. Another month to go.

I have seen ammo at BPS - tend to stop in at them when visit folks and the guys need something to do - nothing I could use, but still some ammo sitting on the shelves. One BPS had a multi-level cart inside the front door, another had it behind the gun counter, and another had it on a cart...

That was a dumb move by the cop - I see the truck driver's family getting some serious dough.
