Theres a few things you need to be aware of. 1) The state is broken up into units and there are only so many kills alotted for each unit and when that number is filled that unit is shut down, so you need to check with the F&G before you hunt to find out if where you plan to hunt is still open. 2) Out of State License is $141.50. 3) Out of state tag is $186.00. They are a long way from filling there quota as hunters are finding out how shy they are. We are going north the first part of November and I'm hoping to fill my tag then. Calling seems to be popular with those that have been successful. We welcome anyone to help us regulate these critters. I'll agree, it should be a real exciting hunt!!

It sounds like it would be an exciting hunt to go on. About those Wolves Gary, can an out of State hunter obtain a tag?

I believe your observation is correct, you take away the challange and what have you. Michael - I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets to wondering about the thoughts that float through an idle mind. One thing I have pretty much mastered is not thinking about work. Years ago I thought, why be out here if I don't get away from work both mentally and physically. Up here we have a 3rd reason for some unsuccesful hunts, its called wolves. I believe I heard 27 is the last number of wolves harvested so far. Need a bunch more. Joe - It still blows my mind that Rob was running his Guide up and down in the Northern Mts. last month and less then a month later was fighting for his life. That walker might make a good rifle rest but just how is he going to introduce it to the mules? Maybe he needs to put wheels on that walker and make a chariot out of it and let ol Long Ears pull him in. Sure hate to have him miss that deer hunt, but it could be alot worse.

It might be hard to maneuver on trails but it might make a good rifle rest........ Gary, I think Rob would still go if he wasn’t using a walker.

Michael Riddle Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:39:04 +0000 http://www.basecamplegends.com/?p=1605#comment-2965 I do the very same thing when on a long trek Gary, I will get some stupid song in my head and just can't seem to get rid of it. Just marching along to the tune and when I finally find a place to settle in, then my mind starts to wander off in all sorts of strange directions ;-) My theory as to why so many hunters are coming up short this season is two fold, or a double whammy on the animal populations. First, this is the longest and hardest summer we have all seen in quite awhile, lots of die off's. Second, the economic situation has forced many, many locals to "Poach" just to keep their family's fed. Two simple equations to several empty handed outings this year!

I hear you though... you just never know how the hunt is going to end, but the hunt itself keeps drawing you back year after year after year! Better luck next year!

Lotsa fun trying to second guess them though. Sorry about your deer hunt - kinda went south on you guys!
