Archery either sex elk in Colorado. Sounds good but it is for a less than mediocre unit. Still excited to get out there in September.
 
Finally got drawn for the 20 day long December rifle deer hunt here in AZ. Either unit 17b any antlered or 36a white tail.
 
Picked up a couple youth encouragement elk tags for the older two kids. Looks like we'll spend Thanksgiving break up in the Gila Forest looking for cow elk.

It's an over-the-counter, first come, first served elk hunt that a youth is eligible for if he/she applied for a hunt in the regular draw but did not draw any tags. The NM Game and Fish makes about 1900 of these available after the regular draw. For the first two weeks, only kids who applied but didn't get drawn can buy them. After that, the leftovers can be purchased by any kid.

It's a pretty nice little potential bonus if your kids get skunked like mine did. They applied for five hunts between the two of them and didn't get anything.

Awesome. Glad they got something for the fall.

We got our normal clues tags for early november
 
Did not draw a Elk tag but we did draw 3 white tail tags for unit 24B, my daughter and step son will hopefully get their first deer this November. I have my work cut out for me!
 
A late bull tag in Nevada, 72-74 north of Elko in the Jarbidge wilderness. Went and scouted last week. Big steep country. Can't wait for November!!!
