2026 bonus tags

Zone 5  23.2 lbs 11.5 in. beard  1.25 spurs

My first hunt this morning. Only heard one gobble on the rooster. Sat tight 'til 5:50 when a shot came from n.e. of me. Peeked out the side of the blind and here comes 4 stutters and 6 hens. Came right  
down the field edge to 35 yes. Game over

Got my bonus tag that starts end of this week.  Might try couple of the public hunting areas not far from my house.  I live right near the border of zone 1/zone 2 and they were out of zone 1 permits, so I'll have to go into zone 2.

While heading down to Fremont yesterday  I saw two huge flocks with many toms displaying. Approx. 40 in one bunch and maybe 50 in the other

Yea I was not happy. Got in within a few mins Monday morning for zone 1. Woulda had a c period tag as I was close to 700. Couldn't pay and after and hr and half of backand forth got booted out and down to 7000s, got a period d tag.

No issues this morning for Zone 3. Was #1900 in the queue and was done by 10:15am. Appears they fixed the problem. 

Yep Gobbler every guy I have talked to has been having similar issues.  I signed on at 9:45 today and got into the queue. There were 2600 folks in front of me but was able to get in for my bonus tag at 10:20am.  Picked my period and went to the payment side and just got an error message. Sat there for 25-30 minutes before I could final complete the process.  Some guys could never complete their selection and tried to re-enter the queue only to find out the period(s) wanted were already filled.  Very frustrating. Going to try for Zone 3 tomorrow but expect the same challenges.
