Mudd, as an alternate my name was next up on the list for a tag if one of the people who originally drew it turned it back in.  I had two days to decide if I wanted the tag or not, but once I called to confirm, it is mine.  
I didn't use the full two days to make up my mind   :readit:  
Two hours was plenty.   :D

Well, PETA will be happy to hear that the Robertson is out of your hands after the trail of carcasses it left behind.

I'd go scout and cook for you Joe, but I would worry about what the weather would be like.    :biglaugh:

Well I'd say this makes up for not getting your Iowa tag...and then some!   Congrats.  Looking forward to hearing about it.

I lot of good information but I do not agree with his assessment of the unit and the hunt.  There are lots of quality bulls in the unit but you have to find them.  Finding some local knowledge will go a long way to being successful.

Good luck Joe. Looking forward to a good story after the hunt. Oh and maybe a elk burger at Compton  :)

I used to hunt there in the seventies. That's too long ago to give you useful info. And that was before I started hunting elk. I know the herd is pretty good sized down there now. I used to hunt on the Boobe hole. It is over the mountain from Johnson's reservoir. We used to see elk back then all the time. It is beautiful country. You are going to have a blast. Gary

Ah, the Boobie hole.......Tom knows that place quite well.  As I understand, the Boobie hole is private land.  I could be wrong.

How's that saying go?  What doesn't kill you makes you strong?  We will see how that turns out!!

Tom mentioned that he camped on the Boobie Hole, but I think Nate is right - that is on the private land.

Maps are ordered and the hard research begins!  I did have the name of the guy the did the story on MM, and had sent him a PM, but haven't heard back.  I hadn't seen that link to his story though - looks great!  I'm headed over there now for some bedtime reading....
