11 bonus points

[bucklucky]

I have 11 elk points but have only put in  for premium tags. I have 9 for deer.

[archery288]

My dad has 11 points and hasn't drawn a tag either... Although he has just been getting point options the past few years because there is no where he want's to put in for on the westside...  This year is a different story however!!  haha so there's another one to help out your draw odds...

[dreamingbig]

zero for 4 the past four years.... with 4 points this year I am really hoping I draw an archery elk permit.  Not too much hope though.

[bucklucky]

Archery288, I did the same as your dad the past douple years, the 2 years previouse to that I did put in for some eastern tags though. This year Is different for me too, well once the paperwork comes in the mail that is...........

[boneaddict]

Dreamingbig, my wife drew a modern permit with 2 points, and I think I drew my first and only elk tag with 4, so there is always hope.

[hogsniper]

I have ten points in all of the draws....I had to take 3 years off from the military tho but am hoping for a good one this year...Where is everyone putting in anyways???Come on lets hear it....Im putting in for Perrygin, Alta, Chewack, and probably desert...Elk is up in the air right now....

I would think that with 11 points you'd stand an excellent chance at one of the premiere units.  I only bowhunt, so that helps the draw odds quite a bit; I've got 3 points built up and hope to get a Wenaha tag soon.  I drew a cow tag a few years ago and ate a couple points there, but it was worth it.  I don't think I'd want to give up 11 years of applications for a cow tag, though.  Keep aiming for the stars with all those points, and you'll be able to shoot something that makes the wait worthwhile.

I have 10 or 12 friends with 10-12pts and they all apply for archery, can't seem to draw. there'll be another 60 tags total in the blues this year so the odds are getting a little better. heck, maybe I'll get one with my 3 pts???

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

I figured with all the cow permits last year it was going to be easier to draw... Nope.
Brother in law and i both at 10.
I drew a cow tag in 94 in lewis river, and a doe tag i didn't mean to put in for in 2003. But other than that nada. Unless you count fake drawings.

Unless you count fake drawings.

Well im glad to hear im not the only one!  I thought it was just bad luck but seems more common than i thought.  Good luck to everyone this year on your drawings.  Who knows maybe ill get lucky.

BC this ought to make you feel better ... A friend of mine came up empty last year with 17 points! he has put in for seven years and turned in a poacher for the other ten. He has been putting in for Blue mt. units and he was asking me allot about my Peaches tag I had last year, I told him to stop thinking about it and continue putting in for the blues! I drew Peaches muzzleloader last year with 10.

[BC CHASER]

is that the bull you shot in your photo deal on the side?

[andrew_12gauge]

i drew a goose prairie elk tag in 01 with 1 point and then drew a desert A deer tag in 2004 with 3 points, my dad has 12 points for everything but elk, he drew a cowiche bull tag with 9 points in 2003, i still dont think he has forgiven me for that 04 desert tag

[TheHunt]

I had 10 points last year and did not get drawn.  I know have 11 points for this year and a multi-season permit.
