   fellas... earlier this afternoon i filled out my app for elk. that's the first application of the year for me, and it started the bug to biting! pretty sure i won't draw (again), but my thoughts have turned to this fall's possibilities.
still have projects in various stages of completion (right now i am juggling a mauser, 700 lvsf 7-08, ar-15 h-bar, ar-15 lightweight, and 700 lvsf 22-250), but i need to go hunting! so... went out to the garage and topped off my supply of ammo... got 100 of each ready to go: 300 wsm, 300 win mag, 338 win mag, 7 rem mag, 30-06, 308, and 25-06. trying to wrap up the mauser and 7-08, and then i'll put 100 of each of those in the stockpile...
then, for prairie dogs, i have a few hundred (300 or more) ready to go for 308, 223, and 22-250. wish the weather could clear so i could get out of the garage and do something productive!

	Hunting is not a matter of life or death; it is much more important than that.

	I share the same feelings as you do dakota. Our draws are out this month too and im getting the itch. Always picking up a few things here and there months in advance. Sometimes at night when i close my eyes i picture myself on a hunt and i find it hard to sleep cause of the excitement and wishing the next day was opening day. I do however have Big Game Hunter and Deer Hunter software games to take the edge off. Gary Edited by gary murray

	Fella's; I've wrapped up the whole application enchilada & sent it & my hard-earned funds into the state. I'm using my landowner preference to assure myself of the antelope permit. Put in for the moose draw, odds are about 50:1 & NOT in my favor. Also put in for elk draw in three different areas, 1st, 2nd, & 3rd preference. We shall see. What with conservation, birds, points, & all that it's run me a little over $100.00 this year. Next year I understand that it's gonna go up to about $125.00 & then $150.00 after that. 900F

	sd resident elk tag by itself is $155 + $5 application fee. you're gettin' off cheap in comparison.
