OIL points

[TMortensen]

What is the max amount of points anyone has for Oil tags...Im sitting at 16pt ea, curious what the completion is like out there.

[jackelope]

1996 was the 1st year so 20 going in this year I guess?

[bobcat]

I missed a moose point sometime, so I'm at 19 for moose this year. Don't put in for goats, never have, odds are too low. And im out of the sheep draw since I drew last year with 16 points.

[TMortensen]

So theres some hope with 16pts then

[fishngamereaper]

I remember when I had 16...thought my chances where really good....ha...guess I was wrong...   18 now, but who's counting..

  how do you find out how many points you have?   if you turn a poacher you get points?  one year I saw a guy draw a tag for something and he had 26 points.    mike w

Look at your draw results from last year.

It is possible to get 10 points for turning in a poacher.

I had 37 quality elk points 3 years ago, the poacher points are real, and the guys deserved the convictions.

You can get points for turning in a poacher but they won't go to OIL animals.

That's right - deer or elk only.

I wonder how many game wardens get points for turning in poachers.   

[Bob33]

I had a guy in one of our hunter education classes ask the game warden if he could get poacher points for turning himself in.

Max points for sheep & moose here. Drew out for goat in I think it was 2000 with max, the first year goat went OIL.

[willapawapiti]

X-Force - you're right, guess my elk points didn't fit into this thread - lol......Being a hunter ed instructor myself, I always like to promote the poacher points & encourage hunters to spread the word.

I thank you guys for turning in poachers.  more points to you.   keep up the good work.   mike w

Points mean so little in these draws. I've figured it out once and the draw odds are less than 1% per ticket pull. I didn't try to figure the odds with the multiple pulls, your choices, odd of getting pulled while your choice remains, ect... But it's less than 1% unless you have lots of points and then its like 1 to 4% or somewhere in there. Most folks won't draw in their lives.
Most years it seems the raffle tickets are much better odds.

Many of the applicants have 10-15 points, so most of the tags are pulled by folks in that point range. I'm sure that phenomenon will creep right along with that applicant pool.

Idaho seems the best draw odds for them critters, by far.

I wouldn't say that points mean so little. Agreed that having a lot of points does not mean you have a good chance of drawing, but having 10 points makes you 10 times more likely to draw than a guy with 1 point, right?

Actually it would be 100 times better chance of drawing with 10 points versus only 1, since 10 squared = 100 and 1 squared = 1.

I'm in the running with 13 this year.

[zwickeyman]

I have 18 for Goat and Sheep and 17 for Moose. I better hurry up and draw the Goat and Sheep, I'm not getting any younger

I didn't realize it was squared. You learn something new every day, and every once in a while it's something useful!

Makes my 12 points for moose look so 

[mp.hunter]

My dad drew sheep in '06 with 3, so it can happen

12 isn't a bad place to be. No matter what keep in the game and you never know when your lucky number will appear.
I drew my goat permit in 99 with 3 points which was max at the time.   
2 permits for 2600 people.

I was lucky and that's what it comes down to.

[BULLBLASTER]

Imo points dont really matter in the oils. You have a horrible chance anyways.  im still in for all 3 tho!

[Critter Ritter]

ill be going in for all three with 9Points this year

[ridgefire]

I have up on moose and goat but still put in for sheep. Sick of giving the state money that i didn't really have to. Hopefully i will get lucky and draw the tag sometime in the next couple of decades.
