Cape Buffalo 0 points Greater Kudu 0 points Oryx 0 points Limpopo bushbuck 0 points 100% draw odds, I like my chances. I just hope they don’t release them from the horse trailer an hour before I get there

Do you attribute this to winterkill? It is very disheartening that our goat herds are not growing by 5 to 15% every year resulting in two or three more tags each year.

Please, please don’t change the season dates!!! I am begging you!!! The only thing that should be under consideration is combining points and making the extended archery a separate hunt that costs points to draw. Option A for LL sounds reasonable.

Combining points is not a bad idea. Tampering with season dates IS a bad idea. Here is why: Take any five day hunt and add two or three days of bad weather and you are screwed. Making the extended archery hunts unlimited is a TERRIBLE idea. Here is why: The Wasatch for example has been...

That might not be a bad idea. Would everyone get a second, third, fourth, and fifth choice? What about the LL holders? Full refund plus an extra five points? Elkster, you wanted a proposal from Vanilla, I think this is it

This is a very good point!!! You cannot have a healthy deer herd without different age classes of bucks!!! If you wanted to end up with even one three year old and one four year old buck after hunting season you would probably need a minimum of twenty bucks per hundred does. You can’t manage...

Other than their theory that lower b/d ratio equals more deer, I found their research and data to be accurate and 100% believable. I am glad they are taking a hard look at elk vs deer conflicts. With the summer range projects I would encourage all to get in, do the work and get out. There is...

If you think Berry’s scope is bad, you should see his rangefinder and two way communication system. High end scope + high end rangefinder + two way communication = Abominable Hydra that needs to have one of it’s ugly heads cut off. Talk about giving Bambi a chance

“Several Roads & Trails will Be Flat Ass Closed,You Get Caught You'll Pay Dearly,Get Your Boots Oiled up!” Another example of a way to help keep fat on deer resulting in healthier does and fawns

The quote says big game not deer. I believe there are cow hunts in February. “Legal Rifles will only Have Scopes with a Maximum Magnification of 4 Power!” Implementing this will result in a few more mature bucks or almost mature bucks surviving until the following hunting season. Nobody wants...

“Hunting Big Game Continuously & Overlapped From Mid-August through January/February with No Relaxation Time for the Deer Herd No Longer Happens” The biologists kept saying we need more fat and healthier deer in the spring, summer, winter and fall over and over and over again!!! I agree!!! How...

You will have to get clarification from blue hair or EFA on that one

Just in case there are any academics out there with masters or doctorate degrees in wildlife biology that are taking the quiz, I want to remind you that, with the five acorns being the last forage on the winter range that elk are grazers and deer are browsers. Very important when answering...

It’s late winter 22/23. Three feet of snow on the ground. An average bull, a 20” buck, a doe and a fawn have gathered around a clump of oak brush. There is five acorns still attached to the oak brush. A little ways off, there are three coyotes eyeing up the situation. A little further off, there...

More and bigger elk are not the solution to the problem, they are the problem. (Ronaldo Magnus with a twist) Knock about 6,000 out of this herd and see if we can get a half dozen decent bucks back in the unit
