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

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

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.

  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.   :tup:

You can get points for turning in a poacher but they won't go to OIL animals.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

That's right - deer or elk only.

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. :chuckle:

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.  :tup:

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

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. :tup:

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.
