I am a huge fan of Eastman's, have subscribed to both magazines over the years, seen all the TV shows and have a stack of DVD's to boot. They have been instrumental in getting information out and helping people who had trouble understanding the draw process in various states get involved.
THAT SAID - NV MRS just arrived today - 1 day before the draw - I stayed up late to read it but cmon. Readers need at minimum a week to digest it - especially when I have similar information from competitors from a month ago.
Second - it doesn't even mention the possibility of NR Mountain Goat tag this year, and there is one, I already applied. Granted it is one unit and the odds stink, but it calls into question all the rest of the information. If that is just being copied and pasted with no re-writes due to HUGELY significant changes in the draw it makes your subscriber base wonder how much of the information is accurate and up to date. I know there are always mistakes, its a huge amount of information to compile, but something that major should at least be mentioned, especially if its coming out well behind EPIC, etc.
Gripe over, I've only been applying for a couple years in NV and blanked the deer draw so fully expect to draw nothing, but still.
