Just cant wait. Multiseason

[billythekidrock]

Here's hoping I don't get drawn with 6 points.  They wouldn't let me convert to points only option.

Not sure what that means. Did you apply for the permit and then ask to switch to points option?

You might get "lucky" and not draw. From looking at last year's numbers, your odds of drawing with 6 points is about 33%.

Exactly what happened.  And due to a misunderstanding when I called 2-3 weeks ago, they told me to wait.  I waited and then was told it was too late.   I am getting into archery, but not sure this the ear I want to cash in on the multi tag.  Maybe my good luck streak will go my way

What day did they draw last April?

12 points for multi-season elk? How is that possible? Last year 9 points would be the most anyone could have, since 2006 was the first year of the multi-season tags.

He must mean regular points  My buddy and his dad have over 18 pts for elk and moose ...wonder if this is their lucky year  I sure wish a local would draw a tag around here because lately it has been all outsiders

You have decent odds with 6 points- probably about 20%. Do you have a muzzleloader or do you plan on using your bow during muzzleloader season, if drawn? What about rifle season? Are you ready and able to hunt that as well? If you're going to spend the extra $180 on the multi season tag, you should definitely plan on hunting all the seasons.

Picked up my new bow on Wednesday.  Glad I only had to buy the accessories   Then get the MS results successful for elk!  Bought and paid before spent any time thinking about it.  Started practicing yesterday between getting trailer ready for spring bear opener in 166 and fishing with granddaughter today.  How much better can life get?  Keep it up, I may be forced into retirement.

OH YA !! Ghost hunter you head shot that turkey,not enough time in a day ,to get ready for turkey season ,fishing , and camping.Then theres the sress of the draw and raffles decision making ,doesn't leave much time for sleep or work,wich by the way I feel one of the two or both are highly over rated. But it is good to hear someone has gotten away from the missle launcher crusade , makes the woods that much safer in my life threatened look at things.Any ways wecome to real hunting ,I mean the up close and personal type of hunting ,its great stuff, practice practice ,I would keep going with the practice thing but I don't wont to wake the punctuality police,best of luck with the bow hunting,gad to hear it .
