LAST EDITED ON Sep-13-05 AT 11:24PM (MST)[p]I know what you mean. I'm going crazy waiting for november to roll around.
I'm not familiar with your area but any tag during the rut is a good one. Good luck and hope you bag a monster.
I have a tag for the Dubois area 128,129 here in western Wyoming. The draw odds are 2 to 3%. It is the toughest and most sought after tag in the state to draw for deer during the late season rut so I got very lucky. A buddy of mine drew this tag two years in a row which is unheard of. There are some big deer in this area and I will be hunting just west of where Kathy Keene killed that massive 40 incher that went 285 B&C. He's had some time to spread his genes around.
You may have seen the buck on this site a while back or in Eastman's. Check out this link and scroll down about six rows and you'll see the heading in red letters "35 point mule deer" http://www.wyomingoutdoorsradio.com/2004_hunt_gallery.htm
Thats a heck of a buck, really nice prongs, I'd like to get one with some good prongs someday, all of the goats that I've got so far have had short ones. Congrats!
