Was this in the max point or random pool? I’d say congrats but not sure if being that close and knowing about it is good for ones blood pressure ?

M3 muzzlelader for me

If you can hold off the trigger and hunt the last 4 days you will see some crazy rutting activity. They're rutting at the beginning of the hunt, but I saw way harder rutting and a few more bigger bucks toward the end. I killed my buck on Thanksgiving Day and he was stupid rutty!! If you're in great physical shape I'll share with you a spot that is tough to get in to where I saw a giant!!

 

[BMosh]

[Padfoot]

M4 for my brother and me. Happy to receive any PM and info. We’re both mid 60’s so doubt we’ll get drawn for this again.?

I also got NE elk archery 4th alternate, still debating whether I’ll accept being an alternate - there’s a good chance guys will back out when the fires start up this summer.?

?

 

[buckmster28]

Max points, and lucky I have low blood pressure not sure why they even have two alternates for a tag like this

You may get a lil hate for that..

Ain't that difficult to figure out. Just looking for some advice as to make/model, peoples preferences.

Your the guy who asked about guides on a military base. You have a fitting name.

I would recommend a Utah muzzleloader. It’s when you shoot it with a 6.5 and say you got it with a muzz/bow.

If you can find a Remington Ultimate muzzleloader that’s what I’d grab. If you’re on a budget grab a TC triumph or Omega. Blackhorn 209 is the powder to use.

 

[Buckmiser]

Thanks Cahunter. That’s the kind of response I was looking for. ??

 

[ElmerFudd]

Remington went bankrupt. I'm not sure if the new buyer will keep Ultimate muzzleloader stuff in production. If your vision is still good enough to take advantage of a good receiver sight for long distance shooting, you might consider a CVA Paramount, but would need to drill and tap for good receiver sight and front sight.

Congrats on the tag! Don‘t forget your muzzleloader projectiles have to be non-lead as well. I’ve had good luck with the Barnes TMZ’s...

• Tags are awarded by random drawing, which is run within 10 business days of the deadline to apply.

The drawing should be done by today. Results tomorrow or Monday?

 

[budweiser]

My brother-in-law drew La Panza bull. Also, a friend of my son drew Cady Mountain sheep tag. pc

 

[Elmacho]

G3 again?!.....darn it.....Lol

Drew an archery tag

 

[PCPython]

My uncle is first alternate for a Marble/Clippers sheep tag for the second time in six years. It's EXTREMELY rare that a sheep tag gets turned in but it could happen.

Twice in six years that’s crazy ! I hope he gets it next year if someone doesn’t turn it back this year.

I drew that sheep tag in 2017 and came close to turning it in after I badly broke my ankle on Nov 11 with the season starting December 1.

After surgery on Nov 14 where I ended up with two steel plates and 13 screws, my surgeon told me it would be a minimum of 8 weeks to get back to partial weight bearing on the ankle. There is no provision in CA providing a tag to be turned back in for medical reasons and then allowing it to be reissued to the same tag holder the following year. If I turned it in I would have maintained my max points but there is no guarantee that I would have ever drawn the tag again. After consulting with my outfitter I decided to keep it. He thought we could kill a ram close to the truck even if I was on crutches so we scheduled the hunt for the last 2 weeks of January. My recovery went better than expected and my surgeon reluctantly released me to transition to full weight bearing at the start of my hunt. I was able to gingerly hobble around without crutches using trekking poles and ended up killing my ram on 1/27…

What the hell did you do Horniac?

Nice ram and glad you didn't turn it in--chances are you'd die without drawing even at max points.

Yes I figured I would never draw it again.

As to the ankle, I was hunting in CA in the grass oak foothills and fell. Unfortunately my ankle was wedged in some rocks at the time and didn’t release snapping my ankle.

Ironically I had just gotten back from a successful CO mountain goat hunt where I was hunting in some nasty country at 13,000 feet in the snow, ice, and rocks without incident - go figure!

You nailed the goat hunt and effed up in the Cali foothills--of course! Man, quite the x-ray's. Glad you're good to go.

My son and I both drew X-5b can't wait

 

[bullskin]

Didn't even draw A-1 as my second choice. How does that work? But, I did finally draw Nevada, so I will concentrate my efforts there.
