Predraw hush hush??
« on: May 12, 2012, 10:02:09 PM »
Its been pretty quiet on here for it being only a few days til draw apps are due, whats up with that? Is everyone being sneaky and waiting til the deadline has passed to talk about what they are putting in for or what. Usually at least a few guys are asking questions and chattin it up. Im sure after the draw there will be plenty of where is this unit that I drew and where do I go!!Lol. I didnt get the multi season tag so guess I am stuck on the westside for elk and will try for quality archery tag with my 3 points but dont expect  to get that lucky. Anyways good luck to all. nwhunter

I noticed that too.

I think it is just due to the nice weather we are finally getting and people are busy doing outdoor "stuff" this weekend. Oh, plus Mothers Day is tomorrow.

I bet it will pick up in here about Wednesday just before the deadline.

I just got my last application submitted tonight. I haven't drawn anything since 2008, so I really think I'm due for something this year. Hope for at least the antlerless elk hunt I put in for. But I would prefer a moose tag!

I would have to agree about the weather, there are so many people out and about in the neighborhood partying right now!! It's like they haven't seen the sun for months!

I still have a few more apps to purchase goat, moose those extras that I don't really need but would like the points. It did take me a while to purchase my license and sp hunt permits but finally put in for some east side units. I did put in the for the new permit for Antlerless in Bumping, Nile, and that other area oh yeah Colockum!!

yahh i did mine last night! ive been putting in since 98 with no draws so im hoping this year is my year. so dont feel bad with your 08 draw bobcat i got 10 years on yah lol. ive been putting in partner with my dad though on the westside so we could hunt together, but this year we applied east side individual, since either way we can hunt elk together if one draws and one doesnt. one of us would just be stuck hunting spike/cow.
they call me the bloodhound cause i can track a wounded animal in the rain for 2 days when all it has is a splinter.. sniff sniff awooo

Well, I have 10 points for moose, 10 points for Ram. I applied for both but gave up hope about 8 years ago. It makes it easier when I don't get drawn.  :chuckle: :chuckle: :'( :cryriver:
Just one more day

2 for bull, 6 for quality elk, 5 for antlerless elk, 5 for my goat, 2 moose, and 10 for quality deer. I have some hope for quality deer and antlerless elk but its the luck of the draw and if i didnt have bad luck i would have no luck at all!

2 in quality elk 2 in bull elk  :chuckle: 1 in moose and goat 1 in quality deer.  I have faith.  A family member had 12 in quality deer I told him I'd probably draw this year he said not me.  :chuckle:

I took the point option on most of my permits this year.  I did put in to try to draw a quality bull, sheep and goat. But did the point option for all other tags.  This is my sons last year as a youth hunter and I have him in on just about everything going.  So I am just hoping he gets at least one youth tag, well at least the elk or moose.  Really hoping for the moose.  Since this is he last year as a youth, I was doing the points option for his moose points since he started hunting so he has like 8 moose points.  I just hope get gets something.  Good luck to everyone!!!

You might have used up all your luck on a certain tag that you drew 2 years in a row!! :chuckle: Good luck this year, I'm still going after the same tag that I keep NOT getting. 17 elk points, 8 deer and 12 for sheep, moose and goat.
“In common with”..... not so much!!

Well with 1 point for quality elk Im surely not in the run for that, but I do have 1 unit to put in for regular elk with 4 points. 13 for Muley so I may get lucky there ....... we will see.

Yeah you would think that since everyone is trying to draw that one special tag ... :chuckle: Heck I might not put in for sheet ....we have been pretty lucky in last couple years So maybe we will just sit back and let someone else have it ... 8) :chuckle: :chuckle: Just that I just figured out what it will cost me for 3 of us hunting and fishing and I just do not feel like wasting that much money since Obama may be running this country for another 4 years  ;)

One point and your draw luck is almost a shoe-in for another Blues tag, isn't it?
