A zero got left out but not off the end. It was supposed to be 2090. If you look at the 2009 Drawing Result Summary, the correct number is in there.

That makes sense. I bet the number goes way up when everyone sees how good the odds might be based on the regs.

probably opposite.  I think lots of people have no clue where to hunt but apply where it looks like all the other sheep do, like the desert.  I'd bet half the people have never seen it.  Actually probably 85% probably have never set foot in it, yet apply every year.  Then when selected get on here and say....

Now what?

I wish 25,000 would put in for desert.

i hunted it in 08 and got a nice buck but one of the rules is you can't get within 100 yards of any windmill. a lot of them are close enough together that you have to go around the whole row. Makes it hard to get around. you will need a range finder. I haven't been up there since they put in the new windmills but form looking at the map it looks like they put one right on top of where i got my deer. PS: I bet the odds are not as good as it show. probably a typo. i bet they left a zero off the end.

I've hunted that area since the early 1980s....no hunting or camping in my LONG time favorite places.  Almost ALL the high springs are now in the windfarm AND too close to a turbine string  With the attendant road closures its not now possible to get to some of the old roads down the draws where the deer congregate and its a LONG ways if you bag one down there with NO access for ANY REASON except on foot.  Dunno about a cart...nor how usefull one might be now.

A backpack might work?

I noticed that too. The prior year there were 14 tags and 2,355 put in the year before that. This year they are giving 14 and ther were 290 put in last year. I would bet that a 0 got left off of those odds. No way only 290 put in.

   I dont know if even they know.

bummer

Results are supposed to be available in 1 month. That's what they tell us, but usually results come out much sooner than when they say they will. The earliest I would expect would be next Friday.

Wow... i knew the apps look HORRIBLY low... I never even thought about that zero being left off of the end... I am an idiot, thanks.
