Default Well i did it!

As sickening as it was, i sold my 54 GPR i got in trade about a month ago.

Going to my brother in laws tomorrow and we'll be filing together for new mexico mule deer tags!

My first out of state draw so i dunno how it will be. If i dont draw, i get my $$$ back around june some time.

If i get this tag, im going for a SS-Camo Thumbhole Optima just for this hunt!

There are some monsters up there, including white tail so we'll see if i get lucky with a tag. They only offer 15 for this unit.

It is your rifle, but I find it strange how fast you buy and sell rifles. I guess they just don't last long around your place. At least you had it nice looking and I am sure it got a good price.

Good luck on your draw.

Being that you are just west of Nebraska you might look there to hunt mulies. You don't have to draw and the tag is only $220 with the habitat stamp.
