I'm not sure yet when I am going to be able to hunt.  The season dates are Aug. 17 thru Sept. 13.  I can do approx. 11 days of actual hunting either on the front end or the back end of the season.  Right now I'm leaning strong toward the back end.  I won't be able to get out ahead of time at all though, so will have to learn on the fly once I get there.

Good for you big guy!  How many points did you have going in?  I think I have 9 now.  You do have the golden horseshoe willed to me, right?    :D

Only had four points going in, so this had to be just through the random draw.  Fish Lakes isn't one of the hardest units to draw, but it isn't easy.  In 2012 it took 8 or 9 points to be guaranteed a tag.  There were two NR tags issued through the random draw, and with 4 points I figured about a 4% chance of drawing.  Someone pinch me - I can't believe my luck!
 
Yes Julian, the Golden Horseshoe will be yours someday.  But not until I die.  I'm hoping that you are well past your prime by then   ;)

WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I know somebody.  But, you knew that.  I've hunted Plateau Fish Lake with Tom, once in the past.  I just missed out on a late season any weapon tag with Tom in the Boulder Parker Mtn area.  

Lemme look at a map and I can give you some info on where we hunted.  In the meantime, I suspect you could call your Utah contact and get some general info.  

regards,
homebru

Yep, Tom was the first guy I called.  Would love to do a hunt with him, but I sort of blew my hunt budget up with that bison trip in December.   :rolleyes:  
I'm comfortable enough hunting on my own this time of year.  I have all the stuff I need for a good camp, and am already getting some good ideas on where to start.  I hope to at least visit Tom's camp while I'm out there.  He's a fun guy, and consider him a friend after our trip last winter.

I don't remember anything special to get in line for turned back tags.  If there were a box I'm sure I would have checked it - just don't recall.  But I don't ask questions - I just say YESSSSSSS!!! when they call!    :bigsmyl:

Joe, go late, the bulls up there start screaming around the 1st of Sept. They also might not be in the same areas every year, if they're not in one particular place, move. I'm not at home but when I get back I'll look my maps over and shoot you a pm.

I am positive that I don't understand.

However I can tell that you're excited and happy....I am happy for you as well.

Does being an alternate make it a "shoo-in" that you'll get to hunt?

Congratulations!

God bless,Mudd
