Hi folks I'm Guy Eastman from Eastman's Hunting Journals here today we are here with Dave
Hoshore our research editor and we are going to talk a little bit about the MRS section
or the members research section that is in the magazines it's that dreaded draw time
of the year that we all have to start thinking about next year already and nows the time
to really start doing your research and being diligent about where you are going to apply
next year and make sure you are not waisting points or money so that is where the MRS section
comes in let's dive in a little more in depth into what that is and what it is used for
yeah so when your taking a look where you want to hunt next year you know you got 11
western states you got six different species or seven that we cover and so you got a lot
of different choices maybe a 100 choice in the state so what are you going to put in
for you for limited funds you got limited time you need to narrow it down so what we
do we take the game and fish information the harvest reports the draw reports and a lot
of other information from a lot of other sources and we put it all together in one spot for
you to really save you a lot of time and try to narrow down that search for what works
for you you know we don't tell people exactly you need to go to this unit we tell them here
is the information of all these different hunts so you take a look so you take a look
and see what works for you I would say we take in-depth analysis that will help you
narrow down like I always tell guys at shows we will help you narrow down your search to
four five units and we will give you the tools and information to compare and contrast those
four or five units which unit will best fit your needs right what fits my needs may not
be yours my expectation might be different than yours my point total might be different
than what you have or my cost barriers might be different than yours but it's literally
hundreds if not thousands of hours man hours of data collection tabulationa and analysis
pushed down into a couple dozen pages per species or per state right yeah not we are
doing the cross state MRS so that people can take a look and see mule deer how does Colorado
compare with Wyoming verse montana verse utah and so which state might be the best one for
me to hunt we will tell them how many points do you need on average for a blue tip or green
tip unit hwo many trophy entrieis are coming out of that state and differnet things that
compare states and they can knock it down and say so I am going to apply to my home
state and maybe Ill apply to two other states and so now that I know the states I am going
to take a look at the states mrs's and say alright which one works for me right and we
just got done right now it is the middle of november that cross state mrs just came out
so it kind of preps people on choosing the state they want to apply for and the species
they want to apply for now in the winter time is when that mrs really starts to take shape
between the states and specifics species those states and it is all based on draw deadlines
right yep it might seem jumbled when you get it in the mail why am i getting this now and
that later arizona i get in three different issues it has to do with the draw deadlines
there is a lot of information to dive into and digest so we try to give you a month before
the draw deadline so that you can have time and play with that and make those decision
to where you are going to spend your money and it's not weapon specific so in ebj which
is a bow magazine colorado is in ebj it just has to do with there deadline which is usually
the first week of April which is the closest ebj is going out to our subscribers so it
is not like the ehj has all rifle area and ebj has all bow areas it has to do with deadlines
yeah if you're not getting colorado in your magazine you need to add the other magazine
half of the mrs is in ehj eastmans hunting journal half of it eastmans bow hunting journal
so you need both and it is only fifteen dollars a year to have a second subscription so you
need both magazines to get the whole mrs and have all the different states to look at that
is not very much money when you are talking about hundreds of hours of compiling you and
I know how much still looking to take that once in a lifetime western trophy Eastmans
