Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.
What I have learned on AR, since 2001:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down.
5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not.
10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact.
11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores.
12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence.
13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.

Cal TaylorCongrats!!!
I got the usual unsuccessful for sheep and moose. I really get pretty damn tired of putting in. I have never drawn for either.
Center of the Nation Outfitters
Nothing here out of 5 of us. 0 for 8! LOL! Still have a few chances at Bison I guess. What area did you draw? Congratulations! My nieghbor drew an area 3 sheep tag.
No luck for a moose tag here. I just want to draw and get out of the $100 a year chase.
Congrats to those who drew-- hope you have a great hunt.
area 11, i drew the only moose tag available
with less than max points.
106 applicants for 1 tag.
.009 chances to win
Now that's beating the odds!

JustinL01Are the results just posted for residents now? I put in for antelope and mule deer and when I put my information in it said they couldn't locate my records. I thought nonresident results weren't available until June, either, so I'm not too worried about that...yet!
I heal fast and don't scar.

The deer and antelope results arent until late June. The draw just completed was for Bighorn Sheep, Moose and Mountain Goat.

SnellstromCongratulations on the Moose tag!
I'm expecting to hear such a vivid story that I'll have to wash the blood off my hands.
Good luck, take lots of pictures.
Bison draw is out now. Lowest anyone in my family got was 852.
