I didn’t get drawn for 5 this year with 3 points so it will likely take 4 points unless they had a big increase in applicants the last few years, if that was the case it will be like western states and keep taking more points to draw each year
Didn’t draw 5 with 3 points. Thought we had a good chance so we didn’t just buy a point like the last few years which means we wasted the $1xx for the general hunting license since we had to buy it to apply. Will go into 2020 with 4 points.

I have a LW hang on and sticks and several Summit climbers and ventured into saddle hunting last year. As far as tree stands I think the hang ons overall are your best bet for hunting in the Midwest for versatility but a good climber is more comfortable, climbers just limit you to tree...

I run and gun most of the time on public land so no ATVs, if that’s your scenario just walk in with light clothes on and...
I’ve always used Muck or Lacrosse type rubber boots for whitetail but want to try a regular leather hunting boot. I think I want to use a insulated boot with a leather upper and will probably use gaiters with them (which I have never used either). I’m hoping to go elk hunting in the next year or...
I've been watching for used Zeiss or Swaro spotters. Mainly looking at 65mm and the Zeiss 65 T*fl and the Swaro STS HD line.
My primary question is I've noticed different colors in the Zeiss scopes. I've seen them in silver, but mostly green or black. I haven't had much luck trying to...
