Actually 4 but I'm a NR

I hunted high, I hunted low Never even saw a doe Very few shots heard near or far Probably should have stayed in the car Tag soup is what's for dinner After 53 years, I feel like a beginner 5 preference points is what I spent Thank you, for letting me vent Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well seems I forgot to apply for a pref point for elk this year. I got my deer app in but completely forgot about my elk point. If I apply for a tag during the 2nd draw and do NOT draw that tag, do I get a pref point? I'm guessing no but here's hoping :)

Same dilemma for me in 2017. I burned my 17 NR points on 76 instead of waiting for 61. I hired an outfitter to dropcamp me 9 miles deep. So worth it and would do it again in a second. Won best photo of the year here on MM with my bull. 76 Bull Link Let me know if you want to chat.

Application numbers have been about the same the last 3 years. My odds of drawing a tag against 25...

Full write up and pix to follow.

I've hunted with Chappell and Travis and you won't find any better than those guys. My experience was McClendons was a team effort, lots of guys in camp and they were working the network of info from their guys. Chappell was a more one on one hunt. He's kinda like the elk whisperer. Both get it...

Cashed in 23 NR points...unit 9 archery here I come.
