would realy like some info on Desert A permit

[Dipsnort]

Why exactly is it that we "call out" folks with few postings and not help them because they need to do "their own homework"?  Isn't checking with other folks who may have information to share a logical first step in doing one's homework?  Sure, he needs to go scout the place in person but what's wrong with asking for some general information to help him get started?

amen brother you get guys with 3000 posts on here refering to you as a newbie and you must not know what the hell your doing cuz youve only posted a handful of times. you can get great specific info off this website but some guys are way too pricky.

[huntnphool]

I did not want this one and must have screwed up, and this hunt is right during my Elk hunt and that I love more.

 Unbelievable Isn't this just what happens every year?

 At least its not a sheep tag, I think I would have

[Dansk]

...and as far as putting in for the area I did not want this one and must have screwed up...

Dag gummit, kid - I wish I had your 'bad luck'

Now that the cat's out of the bag we all expect a story when you connect.  X2 on the search function... that's prob your best bet.

first  of all maybe i should apologize for what i said and maybe i shouldn't. i usually take the safe route so i'm sorry.
2nd-i am not calling anyone out that only has 3 posts. i am a little thrown off though, a guy draws one of the top 3 most coveted tags un this state and the hunt is just around the corner and he hasn't been in the unit yet. that is wierd to me.
people do need to do their own homework. that is a fact in my eyes...whether they have 3 posts or 3k posts. part of doing hunting homework in the age of the internet is coming to sites like this and looking for guidance and input, but hells bells man, if you haven't even set foot in the unit you drew a tag for at this point, that seems off to me. a lot of people put a lot of time and hard work learning what they know about areas of this state and most of them i'm willing to bet are not willing to hand hard earned info out to some guy that is not willing to put the time in to learn for themselves. sorry carbonkid, really i am, to use you as an example but thats why i said what i said.

72blzr...take what i said for what it is and don't overthink things, i'm not trying to be "pricky" just telling it like i see it.

Well said, my friend! I concure 100%

I dont there is any reason why you need to defend what you said jack. That is how you and many, many other members feel. Nothin against carbonkid at all because I am sure he is a great American, but I think he can even see that it would be hard for people to open up to a guy that is not known very well. how do we know that he is a poacher or an extremely unethical hunter trying to get into somebodies honeyhole. But I will say this that he needs to get into the unit find access and hike until his feet cant carry him any longer. I hope this sinks into your head that you have drawn probably one of the hardest tags to get this side of the rocky mountains, not just in the state. Good luck and keep us posted.

[WAPITIHUNTER]

My reason for posting what I did is a honey hole on a unit that you may only get to hunt once in your life is something that does not need to be protected.

If you may never get to hunt it again then why not openly share it with the next group of tag holders and wish them much success.

If you are hunting open public land or private property and have a honey hole then of course you are going to guard it extremely carefully because once the cat is out of the bag the whole world seems to find out about it. No more honey hole. With the limited number of tags the game dept has alotted for this unit it will never get hunted out and there will always be exceptional bucks in there every year. So why hide it.

It just so happens that I found out about the honey hole in this unit by simply enquiring of former tag holders and frankly they told me right where to go and opening day I went right there and was into all kinds of bucks. I usually trust people when they tell me things and I hope people trust me when I offer up information willingly without thought of a return favor. Ontop of that most poachers do not hike a mile and a half from the trailhead. I heard from a tagholder last year that shot a buck that one of the rifle tag holders was driving around road hunting and he was actually complaining about how he was not seeing any deer. A road hunter with one of the best tags in the state.  I would not feel sorry for him if he did not get one.

You have the sweetest of tags.  Don't waste it.  The area isn't that big but you need to know what your doing and where your going.  There is nothing better that you could do right now than to put some "boots on the ground".

Join a team on the Coyote madness challenge, take your rifle and head to the desert. 

I would give up any old ratty spike Elk hunt for a chance at one of those bruisers out there.

Good luck to ya.  If the luck you had to draw the tag stays with ya, you will probably shoot one in the parking lot when you get there.   

Can't wait to hear the story.

Why don't you tell us all about your honey hole before you go...

 

[Red Dawg]

This thread is already jacked so I will tell you that a little bit of tact on your part would help you out. You have called out a lot of guys in the last few days so yes you are a turd in my book. I think you should stick around and get to know some of the people first before you judge.
