I laugh at everyone getting excited about the proclamation. I mean, seriously, is there anything there that isn't there the year before? They always have a new picture on the front. Is that the excitement?
The games will officially kick off now like bird says.
The draw odds will suck like always. Everyone thinks they deserve to hunt 400" bulls every year. Mathematically 3 million people trying for 1500 tags does not allow it.
Some people will be lucky. (Or in my case about time.)
We will not know permit numbers until April. I hope someone pulls their head out of their ass before age objectives become a reality. And yes, I will say this after I draw.
People will complain the deer herd sucks, but no one will give up anything. 97,000 people will still want to shoot 40,000 bucks. See the draw odds sucks paragraph.
When we do not draw we can start planning 2007 on April 30th of 2006, start writing the DWR and conservation groups for added opportunity, and waste a whole lot of time here hoping to get sympathy.
It is a vicious cycle folks.
