long range crummy photography in the almost dark accompanied by large tracts of private land make for bad pics of huge whitetails.

I've gotten to know the Dayton area over the last 3yrs. By driving up there after work and just taking diffrent trails/roads walking.
But there is alot of people that would rather just ask you for your honeyhole, rather than put in the time.

And just because some *censored* as that has 2 points draws (it is luck of the draw still) doesn't mean they will not hunt hard or scout.
I have 12 points and can't draw but i realize it is still luck of the draw. People bitch about the draw system but nobody has come up with a realistic change to our draw system (remember life isn't fair) And i havn't drawn a tag either but i could. I put in for colorado elk and we will be going next year. Guess what, we have never been there and we will be doing some internet scouting there to.
Post by: BLUEBULLS on May 08, 2010, 09:37:50 AM
As far as internet scouting, yeah, it shortens the process and it's dirt cheap but I gaurantee that you will not get the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that I do.
please don't take this the wrong way. I don't see a problem with others doing it but it's not for me.
Post by: WDFW Hates ME!!! on May 08, 2010, 10:18:30 AM
The way i feel about it is there is so few tags to draw that if you want info on a special permit hunt that has no general hunt then i have no honey holes there because i can't hunt it either.
Sorry for the hijack of the thread. But it seams like people are pissed because they cant draw a tag. Well at least you have a chance to draw every year. The best units in oregon and colorado (examples right off the top of my head) you will never draw unless you have max points. You can put in for them but you have no chance. Even with max points it will take 35 years to cycle through the guys with max points in wenaha or mill creek in oregon. I like our point system and i have never been drawn, but i have a chance.
In colorado we started puting in 7 years ago and it took 12 points at that time to draw units 1,2, 201, 210 now you are at 20 points to draw them. Could you imagine trying to get into big game hunting in colorado right now with no points.

BigBullBalls...you ought to get off your high horse. I suppose you were never an *censored* with 2 points, ehh? would you consider yourself an *censored* if you drew with 2 points? good gravy man, grow up!!
I haven't heard about a big bull coming out of Lick Creek ever.
Post by: Gutpile on May 08, 2010, 03:27:03 PM
I hunt unit 139 for deer and the whole unit is private. Every year people get on here a week before the season and want to know where to go since they've never been there. It even says it's private in the regs. That irritates me to no end to not get drawn in a unit in which you have permission and then someone who not only has never been there before but also has no permission does get drawn. So I see what your saying but it's just too early to be that pissed about some pictures.
Post by: BIGBULLBALLS on May 08, 2010, 04:50:41 PM
And what is this about the high horse? I am just sick of people who want to just ride the coattails of those of us who have put in the leg work. If you hear about a great area then go check it out (maps, harvest reports, aerial photos, talk to the bio, bull to cow ratios, foot work, ect...). I am sure most of the folks on this site have put their time in on the units they hunt and the areas they apply for. Apparently i'm the only one who has a hard time with a guy who wants to make his application decision based on photographs of a unit he has never been to.

I don't think a couple pictures hurt things too much? Chill out guys, you'll be happy to know you have a chance at drawing a tag when you have 2 points. Don't get so butt hurt because you put in for one of the areas with the worst drawing odds in the state and don't get drawn.

I use maps, satelite photos, game reports, internet pictures, ect...... to pick where I want to scout with my rifle and tag in hand.
I'm all for scouting with a rifle and tag! Do it all the time.
If all goes well in the draw, I'll be scouting Wyoming with a rifle and tag. I already have plane tickets to scout Alaska with a rifle and tag.
Maybe I'm just an "*censored*", but this *censored* does ok at filling tags and I have fun at it. If my success in the draw means some other sucker with tons of points goes without a tag, then so be it. :)
I put in for Sheep, moose, goat, elk, and deer every year for units I've never set foot in. :P

The elk are down in the %#@ing hole somewhere on the left. You can here them, but you can't see them. They're all gone now. Put in for the Clockum.

ah the wolves, i will say this, this area is primarily surrounded by communities with a bunch of good ol boys, i believe that the population around here may have a rough time getting a good foothold, it is tough habitat for wolves here. it is rumored that a great number of the wolves that the state says dont live here have radio collars on them, so i guess we will see what happens.

We didn't draw (you don't have to draw with 2 points to be an *censored*, do you? If so, then only Tom is an *censored*. I have 9 points this year, still waiting...), and actually, we were on a deer hunt. We didn't see any deer, so I guess we were just on one helluva hike. We saw elk, and they were still bugling in mid October, but no deer. Incidentally, that cool-looking ridge that we are standing on, drops into death-hell-bitch-canyon, just out of site. We didn't use a GPS, THOUGHT we knew where we were on the map, and bailed off that f@#*!er into some @#7^ that we weren't planning on. When we figured out where we were, we realized that the ridge had no name, so we named it "*censored* Ridge". And it remains "*censored* Ridge" to this day...
Obviously, we didn't know that when this picture was taken. That's why we are smiling. 'Cause were *censored*es. *censored* *censored*s.

If some one has a ton of points and wants a premium tag who's gonna fault him for putting in for a premium tag ?. if he has two points and wants to burn them on the same unit who cares?. I still buy a lotto ticket , should I not just because of the odds. last year bullbuster drew the riffle rut tag in my area , After finding out he and his partners were good guys i was willing to help out . He ended up shooting a 350 bull in one of our honey holes. the chance of that bull being around next time we draw is slim to none , why not band together to help out.if you want a private hunt club buy one. :twocents::yeah: :bow:
