This is killing me. I just got my paperwork for the Owen's Valley Elk Archery Hunt. I'm Alternate #2. I'm thinkin' I'd be better off not drawing at all. What are the chances that 2 out of 5 tag holders will die or drop out? Not good is my assessment. If I was the first alternate, I'd treat it like a real tag and scout like no tomorrow.

So close, and yet so far.

I agree not being draw would have been better. You almost made it, but not quite...I hope two non-JHO member drop out of the hunt for your sake.

I like to know am I going or not. This way I make alternate plans if needed.

You could always pull a Tanya Harding and get your boyfriend to take out their knees with a pipe.

OT hang in there!! I would still take being an alternate next to nothing. You do have a chance (micro). I have some bad news for you though. I know one of the tag holders and I know he is not giving it up. I suggest we find the others (4 & first alternate) and work them over. It worked for Tanya Harding! I'm praying for you.

Paul, Zip for me. Am I wrong in believing that the Jan hunt in your area was underscribed? I thought I would draw for sure as my second choice. Do they look at your second choice in the first round? I'm confused. Well it looks like I'll be in Az come Jan. By the way, congrats on your awsome tag. Make us proud. Ed F

How much?

I wish no harm to those tag holders. Not death. Not injury. Not sickness. Wait. How about jury duty. That's it. Ed, can you hack into the system?

I think you should make friends with them, you know, get all the tag holders to go shark fishing with you on your buddy's boat, and those that don't chum, I meant come, can go over to your house for a pool party, after everyone is slashed, I mean sloshed, you can have a pool filling party, should only need about 18 concrete trucks.

I mean that's what I would do

Ed, dont quite understand why lots of folks did not draw deer tags. We drew 1 tag in the whole family here. Really this is a pretty poor deer unit.

The way i understand it to work is that you put your 3 choices. If you first choice is all drawn then they give you your second choice and so on.

Possibly with the drought they cut back the tags (that would make to much sense though).

Come on guys, I thought I had a great idea, and not even a snicker, You can definately tell most on this board didn't draw their tags, I guess I will have to try and be witty with the kids, maybe they get my jokes

Bearclaw, I didnt know you were joking.

I thought you were serious. I thought the cement trucks were a great touch. I filed it away for future reference.

Let's just say that it would be harder to defend if I didn't clarify that I was joking, of course I have nothig to defend, I was on JHO the whole time, really your honor, I was.
