    It was very easy. Got the ute to about 50meters. Oil and gas roads everywhere.

    But a couple of days earlier did a big pack out in the mountains for my sons elk so was happy with an easy one.

    I’m doing that for him. He’s currently in a pot of simmering water

    They are ok. I prefer deer and elk. Not a big fan of chamois either.

    If anyone wants info on how to draw tags in western USA, happy to pass on what I have learnt over the past 8 years (its a complicated and expensive process). Just send me a PM and I’ll give you a call. But generally you’ll need ‘preference points’ to draw good tags, but there are over the counter options.
