How often are you drawn?

[Hillbilly270]

haven't been drawn since i started 5 yrs ago   guess i should try and go after something with a little better odds.

[BLKBEARKLR]

I have drawn  the Tok sheep hunt in Alaska first time I ever put in for it, Wife and I both drew Entiat sheep tags in Alaska and now we have both drawn multi season deer tags .


This is since 2000 but we have only put in for them once

[PolarBear]

24 years of sheep, moose and goat apps and not a single tag.  Depending on how my blood tests come back, I might throw my 30 points into the hat for an elk permit.

Jeeez, I got think on this one, some of which I know were before points began in some states.
Elk
WA, '97 and now eleven points and not drawn since but over half the years were points only.
OR, every other year success since started in '02.
ID, 84, 87, 92, 98, 01
MT, 83, 85, 88, 96, 00, 04 and 05
WY, 86, 90, 02 and now in 09
UT, 82 and 93 and I so desperatly want to go back again!!!!!!!
CO, 95 and 99
NM, 89, 94, 03
AZ, 86 and 91

I'll have to look for sure when I get home but I'm fairly certain I have max points available in UT and AZ with max points gone for WY with this years draw.  The rest that have point systems I have the points starting the year following I was there. UT, AZ are annual automatic in the draw.  I usually pick 1-2 others also, except this year thanks to WY draw.

Deer
Max points in WY and WA.

Moose
13 pts in WA
Don't remember how many but a bunch of points in WY.

State game dept's love my $$$$!!!!!!

I have only been drawn once.. That was for deer.

[JBar]

Been drawn here for elk 3 times and once for deer, not including multi season. My 15 yr old son has been hunting since he was 9 and has had 3 deer permits, 1 elk and 1 multi season for deer and 1 multi season for elk. He's gone one year without some sort of permit, lucky little sh*t! I figure he'll be drawn for Bighorn before I am.

[alecvg]

I am 15, been hunting since I was 8, I have drawn a deer tag EVERY year and 2 elk tags... they have all been youth tags, but still...

[Ridgerunner]

Since I started applying in 95 in this state I've drawn the following:
1 late mule deer permit
1 big bull tag
1 moose tag

[TeacherMan]

24 years of sheep, moose and goat apps and not a single tag.  Depending on how my blood tests come back, I might throw my 30 points into the hat for an elk permit.

30 points?

[WAcoueshunter]

6x6 has got some good hunts coming!  With those points in those states, it better be 8x8in8 by the time you're done!    Seriously, you've been hunting all over the west since you were like 20.  I'm guessing there's a lot of us that wish we would have started applying elsewhere back then.  I'm 34 and started getting serious about points in WA and AZ about 10 years ago...wish I would have had the $$ and foresight to start all the other states then too.

Anyway, I've drawn a couple primo tags and a handful of good/average tags.  The best were a NM 16A archery bull tag in 2006 and an AZ late rifle coues tag in 2004.  I'm on the cusp of AZ archery elk (10 points) and another late rifle coues tag (6 points going on 7), but those are my only realistic opportunities in the next couple years unless I get lucky.

84   Pratt river goat
90   green river deer
93   Dickey bull
99   naches goat
2001 Pearrygin late buck
2004 west okanagon whitetail
2009 Matheny bull

I have built points from day 1, and consider myself lucky, especially with 2 mtn goats behind my belt. Hoping for sheep and moose before I croak !

Don't mean to hijack, but Falcon, was wondering how that Green River tag was?  Was looking at the raffle choices tonight and remembered the Hunt-Wa member who drew the raffle blacktail tag.  Sounds like his hunt wasn't going well last I remembered.  You got me thinking that maybe we should have directed him to Green River.  My cousin drew that tag about the same time as you, and the story I remember was that he saw a number of good bucks in there.  He shot a nice 3 pt., maybe 95" or so.  Anybody else hunt it more recently?
