Who has the most pts built up for OIL tags?

[trophyhunt]

Wow, 17 years is a long wait.

Yes it is, I was 25 when I started this quest for drawing a hard to get elk tag. Now I'm 42 almost 43 with 17 points, when I finnally do draw it- im done with this points game. I will switch to west side archery or muzzy and hunt big bulls every year without waiting for the blessings of the game dept. Yes I know it's my fault for trying to get a premium tag, it just sucks it takes some people soooo long. Maby this is the year!!

-Well I got you beat, I started applying when I was 10, now im 30 with not a tag! Love this *censored*ed Up system!

17 for Goat and Sheep
16 for Moose
5 for Elk, was lucky enough to draw an Any Bull tag in 03 and 07

I was drawn for Moose a years ago with 13 points.  I felt extreamly lucky to get drawn for that tag. 

I still have 17 points for goat and sheep.

i put in for points for the first time this year and it really sucks because by the time i have 15 points there will be a ton of people with 30+ points.

The sad part is they will get harder to draw because the wolf numbers will grow. You have to wonder if you should pull the plug on the special permits..

[Dr. Death]

16 Moose
16 Sheep
15 Goat, did get one in '96 last year prior to making goat a OIL tag.
9 for elk
7 for deer

Been awhile since getting anything.......

Go catch a few poachers and you should pass them up in points in little time!

With my 2 boys getting older and getting up there in points oldest son now has 13 for everything he has never drawn a tag my youngest has 7 now. So my fear is we all get drawn for 1 of our OIL tags or quality deer/elk in the same year. We wait all this time and then have to tell the wife I will be using all 4 weeks of my vacation and a lot of our bank account for the year on hunting not knowing if we will ever draw again.

Cant use poacher points for oil tags

[mtndew]

17 Mtn Goat
16 Moose & Sheep
This is my year. I can feel it in my old bones!

Sorry to burst the bubble, but even with max points the odds of drawing the best permits are less than 5% in most instances.  There are just too many applicants for very small numbers of quality permits.

OIL = NIL for the vast majority - Never In a Lifetime.  Some will draw, and more points helps but do not get anyone anywhere near to "probable".

Luck of the draw, the guy that drew the sheep tag for The Swakane Unit. Drew with only four points and he's still holding the California Sheep world record with the ram he took with the permit.

Here's a quick cell phone pic I took of it just after he got it back from the taxadermist.
4 points worth of STUD SHEEP!

I rubbed it, fondled it and groped it for LUCK! I asked to borrow it and just got the side ways glance snake eye. The look like I had already gone to far already.
