Arbitrary Hunting Goals
I knew I was forgetting something, I also got a bison in Wyoming (which has been good to me). So I'm only lacking mtn lion for NA 10. Not sure I'll ever get one.- jrabq

Arbitrary Hunting Goals
I have a similar, but easier goal, just want to bag any big game species in the interior western states you listed. It's not something I set out to do a long time ago, just sort of stumbled into almost getting there. Of course after writing this (and a few other things) on my bucket list I've...- jrabq

throwing good app money after bad and repeat
I considered dropping NV this year, but stayed in I guess because it gives me a 1% chance of drawing a desert bighorn tag, maybe. Yes, the total application costs to apply in most western states has gotten absurd, but at my age I'll just keep spending my kid's inheritance 😄. I have dropped a few...- jrabq

2024 Utah Draw Results
I should draw a general deer archery tag, sharing points with my nephew. Burned my elk and limited entry deer points a few years ago, unlikely I'll ever draw them again.- jrabq

Shovelers
They are beautiful in full plumage, but they usually plume out late so it's fairly uncommon to see them during duck season. Along with their highly variable eating qualities, and the goofy looking bill they just aren't high on my list. But I'll shoot them if circumstances align.- jrabq

Canvasbacks
Sorry, those are not your coots, they are scoters, called "coots" by the northeasterners. But I thought about you when I saw that 😁- jrabq

2024 Colorado Draw Results Thread
Yes, I totally get this. Some people just basically want a pure preference point system, especially if they have max points. It just doesn't work for very high demand hunts like MSG, but we're still arguing about it. It's either greed or ignorance, or both. The many types of draws between a...- jrabq

2024 Colorado Draw Results Thread
I thought one of the proposals from the working group was to replace the MSG weighted point system with a standard bonus point system. It would mostly be a moot point because the two systems yield almost the exact same results, as shown by the Toprut guy about 5 years ago. But people seem to...- jrabq

2024 Colorado Draw Results Thread
2018 Hunted this one several days (archery) before I shot this one, "after" This year I'm just aiming to burn my elk points on a 1st rifle hunt, should draw unless point creep is >3. And I guess I'll have 1% chance at a sheep tag.- jrabq
