He applied for three and drew all three. He can of course only fill one. Three tags granted = one animal = two tags that won't get filled = two guys (or girls) that won't get tags. Not his fault, just the way it shaked out.
I'd hunt both the bull permits. You drew both, might as well use both. Alkali has a better season. Starts September 22nd, Bethel is October 1st. I'd hunt at least the first two or three days in the Alkali. You'll hit th peak of the rut that way.With Bethel you will be catching the tail end of the rut. Both are good permits, don't waste them.
I was telling Dan-O that a 290 - 320 class bull out of Bethel should be pretty obtainable for him. Not sure what is in the other unit since I have pretty much hunted Bethel my entire 40+ years of elk hunting. We have seen some studs in there.Dan-O, is a good guy too, we met up during Mule Deer season and hunted together last year. I know he will put some effort into this gift.... tag
Wow, what are the odds that one person could draw that many permits, how many points did you have.
He probably got thrm in trade for all the pics he had on those cameras he supposedly lost.....in turn they gave it tothe BFRO.

OK, even I couldn't read that one with a straight face......

OK, even I couldn't read that one with a straight face......I might have to make a couple of trips over to look at the areas I gave you e-mail intel about. You know after 40 years of running around in that place I might remember a place or so to go look. Now about deer hunting last season and the intel, I am still a little foggy about who gave who the low down Wait, didn't I shoot a buck inside the first 15 minutes of season, right where MY intel said he should be
So dano......if we all chip in for photography lessons will you goto them? We want to see pics from this hunt.....and dont want to hear about a lost camera again .......goodluck with the hunt...will be looking forward to bbd pics
