Yea, Im stoked. Cant wait till November now!
 
Re: After 15 years FINALLY

Nice. Good luck to ya. I am gonna try for a deer tag next year. One of the guys I work with is a big time hunter. I hear he likes teaching newbies like me.
 
Re: After 15 years FINALLY

Congrats! I drew NOTHING again this year... So frustrating!
 
Re: After 15 years FINALLY

Wow. It took 15 years. I am new to hunting. Is that normal? Or was that some special area? Is that just Nevada?

I thought buck tags could be purchased at 7/11? I am hoping to move to CO this year and go hunting next year. Am I going to need to put in for tags for 10 years to go hunting elk?

Anyways congrats and goodluck.
 
Re: After 15 years FINALLY

no nevada is a draw, no purchasing. and its just one of those tags, great area and a bull elk tag is hard to draw in itself.
 
Re: After 15 years FINALLY

dang,,,those are some nice tags...I hope you follow up with some pics when you get your elk and deer!!
 
Re: After 15 years FINALLY

oh ya for sure, ill def get some good scouting pics up as well!

Re: After 15 years FINALLY

A guy I work with bought 5 ticketsfrom the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (I "think") Elk lottery. He told me if he draws one, he's going to sell it for $35,000.00-$40,000.00 (according to him, people pay that much for a tag)and encouraged me to do the same.

Words can't describe what I think of that. Yes, if he draws one, it's his tag and he can do what he wants with it. But just like DeadNoise, there are people who have been waiting 15 years+ to a lifetime to draw one of those.

If I'm not going to use it, I don't put in for it.
