I've seen only one in Michigan that somewhat resembles the girth, but nowhere near that amount of points! Shocked

Utahs best unit, the Henery Mountains. Its a 1 in 140 chance to draw for resident... dont know what it is for Non-res.

If you dont have around 10 years of bonus points saved up odds are you wont draw the unit in your lifetime... thats why I scrapped putting in for that unit last year with my 7 points and went with the Utah bookcliffs where I was guarenteed a tag. I'd rather hunt that every 10 years than never hunt the Henerys.

PS the Henerys are the most gawdaful terrain you've ever seen... lots of places you cant even get a horse into. Bucks like this one come out of there every year it seems but only 25ish tags allowed per year.

Henerys does have a free roaming herd of bison though... one of the few places in the world where they qualify for B&C. Tags for that are once in lifetime to draw and will take a good 40 years to draw if you just start out... and yes the Bison live on TOP of the freaking mountain, in places you cant get a horse (my dad drew it in 97... we hunted 3 weeks and didnt kill one Sad

)

For limited entry Trophy areas tags are *highly* competitive. They auction a couple off every year to high bidders and the deer tag alone can sell for $80,000 or more. So trying to draw one for $125 is very hard to do.

That was a Bison (buffalo) hunt we did, not deer. My dad had a chance at a couple cows one morning but he passed in favor of a bull. We saw bulls but never in a place we could get to them. I put 1200 miles on my truck and utterly destroyed the steering on those rough roads (after the hunt I replaced all the tie rods and idler arm).

Opps I thought you were talking about deer still didnt see that you said Bison! Sad

Oh I see. Me and my dad broke streeing on one of his trucks once as well. Didnt notice how bad the road was (looked good before we hit it) and lets just say going up hill on a bad road wasnt too good for the Explore.

Tell me does buffalo if you tried it taste any good ?? Confused

Ok I admit to being amused at this user account. I saw it when it was created and it made me laugh. I really liked the use of admin "stars" as your avatar to further look like an admin.

I'd give the attempt a 8 out of 10 Smile

But sadly to avoid confusion between real mods and fake ones, I will suspend the user account "Admimistrator", sorry but I'm sure you understand :).
