How often are you drawn?

[Dansk]

I just started playing the application slot machine for trophy tags accross many of the western states.  Curoius to know how many different states/tags/species you all apply for each year and, generally speaking, how often are you drawn?

[boneaddict]

I apply to almost all of them, though the list is shrinking, and so far about one per year.  The states without points, I seem to be the luckiest in. 

[NRA4LIFE]

CO elk, WI Bear, MT deer, WA everything except goat.  Never been drawn in CO or WA for anything.  CO I just put in for the points to someday draw a specific tag.  MT about every other year on average.  I seem to be kind of on the unlucky side with them all.

[WDFW-SUX]

I apply for 50-60 hunts per year and Ive not drawn anything but bear tags that I consider top shelf hunts.  Im looking long term on my apps though and really only apply for the best of the best.  Im a very patient person. Im counting on some great hunts in about 25 years...

In the mean time Im locked in on some of the better OTC stuff in Idaho.

I apply in almost all of the western states, and the only tag I have drawn was a toutle bull tag.

In the last 5 years I have drawn
Archery elk Bull
Washington Moose
Idaho Moose
(put in and had Dad draw the next year)
AK moose (can't remember if that one was draw or OTC) seems like I drew.
NM Premier elk
Wife drew modern elk big bull
Dad drew Modern elk big bull
I drew modern elk Bull
Washington Methow deer/rut tag
Montana deer and elk combo,

[HoofsandWings]

In the past 10 years or so I have drawn,
WA goat
WA sheep
WA moose
Entiat deer rut
Toutle bull
Blues spring bear
Blues turkey
plus doe, cow, and
misc turkey permits
Every couple of years, I get drawn for something. Last year I was particularly lucky with bear, turkey and bull permits.

Didn't we have a guy last year that picke dup all three OIL tags in one year, or maybe he had two and an elk.....

[NRA4LIFE]

Yes, I believe he had a goat and moose OIL tags and a St. Helen's elk or somewhere near there.  All DIY's too if I remember.  He took a real nice goat.

Went back and looked and it was Alpinegus.  Goat, Moose and Pumice Plains Elk.  That's a lot of meat.

[HoofsandWings]

I guess it was 12 years.
1996 goat
1999 sheep
2002 moose
2004 entiat deer
2008 bear, elk and turkey
These were all DIY, although a passerby helped haul out the moose.

[Bigshooter]

Almost forgot I drew Montana deer and elk this year.  Maybe my luck is changing.  Maybe...............

[WDFW-SUX]

That really cool. I wish i had your luck

[norsepeak]

drawn bull tags in wa a couple of times but other than that, I seem to go 0 for about 5-6 states every year

[MIKEXRAY]

I get drawn every three years for archery any bull. 3 times in ten years. I don't put in for the best area though. Mike
