Your right, I apply with 2 other guys as a group and we put in for the hunts that we are not likely to get drawn on, the Witchita elk and buck hunts, and usually Salt Plains, luckily I have a couple good farms not far from my house that I hunt....I do miss the trip though, I like the camping...staying for 4-5 days in a place I don't usually go.
I will be hunting rifle on James Collins along with my 79 year old father. I feel fortunate that he and I are able to get some more hunting in at his age.
