I’m optimistic for my wife and daughter who have more points than I thought. I unfortunately drew 5 specials last year and had an Idaho tag.

Part of the reason is I put in for hunts that have lousy draw odds, but still offer a quality hunt experience. I am left with only one species, any ram tag, with 28 points. The odds are not in my favor at less than .05 chance of drawing, but knowing it’s still possible makes it exciting every year If you draw that tag, I’ll push you around in the wheel chair!!I’ll hold you to that promise

I used to get really excited for draws here and would watch all the threads here about when the draw was being run like an addict. Over the last few years, I have moved into the more "be cool if I draw but don't expect to mindset". I plan all my other hunts for the year without any consideration for drawing Washington tags but know that if I did and it conflicted with another hunt, I would figure something out.
I met a young lady 2 years ago drew moose with 3 points it’s possible for anyone DAY DREAM AWAY !!!!!! Don’t be Debbie downers
I think the results had been out well over a month last year before I even looked. Everybody kept asking me, and I was like I dont know.

Don’t be Debbie downersI teach high school and you would not believe the ratio of students to adults that draw quality and OIL tags. I have heard a theory on this that may or not be correct, but anecdotally, I know that the percentage of kids that get hard to draw tags is higher than adults. And I'm not talking about youth tags, I mean Quality Deer, Quality Elk, OIL....
