the draw was for 30 hunters per day in the NWA and lots of people didn't even try for it, when we were there as it was only the second hunt that was allowed in the NWA.( they were pretty flexible on this as if they had a few extra hunters apply over the 30 the let everyone go )
we had both our cows down late afternoon the first day
glad we had the GPS as we were working well into the dark that night
makes you feel pretty isolated when out in the NWA and you can't see any lights as reference points

GPS? Check
Game cart and sled? Check
Food and water? Check
Headlamps? Check
Hunting partner if I don't kill one Monday??? Nope! He's only able to help on the first day. Which is more than I thought he'd be able to da after what he's been thru health wise this year anyway so it's a bonus just to get him there for that day.
Looks like I will likely be doing the gutless method for the second time ever if I get lucky.
Good luck folks.
