you waited your entire life to harvest your trophy , now waiting one more year is too long ?
my taxidermist buddy uses this line when people cry about timing .
98% of the time a deposit is paid and 1 year later they have their mount.
but
he doesn't over extend his work load and would rather lose...
since 99 never hunted the opener but being from Michigan wanted to hunt deer and Antelope
Mainly hunted private and some public and shot plenty of 13-14 inch lope and a hand full of 15-16
mid Oct.
enjoy
