One thing to note on these new Bonus Reports is that they are double counting applicants that listed the same hunt code as their Choice 1 and Choice 2. On the old Bonus Reports they didn't do this. As an example, for hunt code 03002 there were 227 total applicants that applied for 03002 as...

Working on that now in fact. Updates coming soon.

Nice to have that lifetime license question verified Bob - thank you.

We also noticed that sometimes the total # of NR tags drawn from the bonus point report didn't match the total from the summary report that specifies bonus and 1/2 pass totals. We believe that this discrepancy could be at least partially explained by lifetime AZ license holders who had moved...

FYI we've compiled and made available the data from the unpublished report that I believe Bob is referring to. It basically splits out the # of successful applicants that were drawn in the bonus & 1/2 passes respectively. Example...

Over the weekend I was scouting for a September elk hunt in the Reserve area and came across a troop of 4 critters I wasn't familiar with. After some quick research it was clear they were coatimundi. I managed to get some brief cell video of one of them, but not the greatest quality...

We've found one scenario to duplicate this problem. If you choose to Open the file (and not save it) from the browser, the KMZ file will get deleted once you close the browser window. Then you will run into the red X issue when turning on topo roads or contours. Always choose the Save or Save...

Yeah I wish there was an easy fix for that. Google Earth doesn't allow you to put a native polygon (the land boundaries) on top of an image overlay (the topo contours). The work around is to adjust the transparency of the topo contour layer so you can see through it to the boundaries underneath...

I believe the Limited Entry boundary for Fishlake is the same boundary for the General Spike hunt? In that case the Fishlake file is available under Limited Entry elk. And just as an fyi, right now the Forest Service Motor Vehicle Use map for Fishlake is not included in the download. I had...

For those of you that love to scout and explore Google Earth, I thought I'd share our library of free kml unit maps. We cover 11 western states and include unit boundaries, USGS topo quads, land ownership and more. Hope someone finds them useful. Google Earth Unit Maps

We have no plans of ever charging for the type of draw/harvest information that is currently on the site. At this point we're in build mode hoping to just get some traction and create the best draw/hunt info reference we can. That's not to say we don't have thoughts of eventually monetizing. But...

Yes - eventually we will have all western states/species. We had skipped over Arizona initially because the new draw process largely made any historic draw odds info irrelevant for the nonresident. But our intent is to get Arizona out in time for the deer/sheep draw deadline. We're working on...

fallguy - I'm one of the creators of toprut.com. After seeing your post I went and double checked our data for those two hunts against the information provided by Colorado in their 2015 elk recap report. The numbers we have do in fact match what's on Colorado's report (those were non-res hunt...
