[QUOTE="93trojan, post: 651502, member: 36181"] Hntelk, To tell the truth, I didn't realize what I had at first. I thought I had a 30-40% chance for the tag through the guide pool. My guide was sooo happy that I drew. He then explained that it was a 30-40% chance to get 12 OR 13, with 13 being the most often drawn tag by far. He agrees with you about the public land holding some great bulls. He has private also, but seems to more excited about being able to hunt the public. I stated that I was taking the 338 to the Pahvant because I didn't want a huge bull getting away on me. Well, now I figure Unit 12 may be just as good as the Pahvant! I'm a lucky guy!:). It doesn't look real good for the 6.5 right now. I've never shot anything less than a 300 win mag since I was 12. I'm sure it is capable, but don't want to find out different on a 400" bull! Still irks me as I have a cool new toy and really want to use it. Just not sure if this is the right situation. Thanks for the well wishes. I'll stop by that restaurant and check it out:) [/QUOTE]
