I have been putting in for a GMU 346 cow permit for my first choice for 4 years running now and have yet to draw. Some people, like me it seems, are just unlucky. I am in a similar situation as other posters in CO. I started putting in for an elk draw in 1992 when you needed 7-8 to draw. Here I sit in 2007 with 16 points now and you need 20-21 to draw. I may never get there. It sucks that you need to have a drawing at all for resident elk or deer. That just seems ridiculous to me (coming from the Midwest). At least in MT, I can draw every other year or better and actually SEE a deer. |

Year four going to Montana drawing and coming up empty handed. Their point system is probably about to tank their draws. |

Just want to chime in and piss you folks off a little, No I am kidding !! I have hunted deer and elk with two friends for the last several years and this is how the draws went. Me: Grayback late season deer 2003 "unfilled", Nile bull tag 2003 "unfilled", Bethel cow tag 2005 "filled", East Okanogan antlerless 2007 "filled with a three point", Winston ML cow tag "unfilled so far, still trying" Buddy #1: Peaches Ridge any bull 2003 archery "unfilled", Peaches Ridge any bull archery 2005 "unfilled", Mica peak second doe tag 2005 "unfilled", (05 regular tag unfilled) Peaches Ridge any bull Rifle 2007 "unfilled" Buddy #2: Peaches ridge archery 2006 "unfilled East Okanogan antlerless rifle 2006 "filled" East Okanogan antlerless rifle 2007 "filled" So I guess I must hunt with the luckiest, most unsuccessful group around. I really don't know what to say about our draw system except that we seem to get drawn for something almost every year with very few points, so I really can't tell you what could be done to make it better. I kinda like it the way it is !! :dunno: Allen... |
