The sheep units I'm applying for are in my backyard for the most part :chuckle:

Putting in for ghost numbers on OIL tags but sheep. Everything else will require more time than I can commit right now, but I've only got 1 point for each :P
While I can see your point about the time requirement, you can usually find some time somewhere. It may not be the hunt of your dreams, but there is lots of help on this site to make it happen. I personally think ghost points on OIL tags is a :bdid:, unless you absolutely know you are not available, like the military. These tags are hard enough to get drawn for, each year you are not in the drawing means you have zero chance. You have to look at your hunting lifespan with these tags. Yes, you might be young, but the drawing odds on these tags still are not in your favor. Most people that put in for these tags will never be drawn, and every year that you're not in the drawing reduces your chances even more.

:yeah: I agree 110%. When your laying on your death bed I seriously doubt your going to be thinking "I wish I had worked one more week", but its quite possible you could be thinking "man I wish I had drawn one of those OIL tags"
On a side note, you wont see me complain about all you ghost point guys, knock yourselves out. Thats just less competition for me and my family :IBCOOL:

It will probably be a person who has never hunted and his/her first year putting in for moose that draws the tag.
There was a woman out there this past season that drew her first year.

Everything else will require more time than I can commit right now, but I've only got 1 point for each :PI drew last year, used a ghost draw in '05. Moved to Western Washington from Chewelah that year and had no time to take off of work to hunt. :rolleyes:

I only put in the Selkirk unit and 49 unit. I have 13 points but so do 1000's of other people :bash: Would love to get it but not planning my vacation on it. :chuckle: That will be antelope hunting in August
You should put in for Huckleberry and three forks also. There's lots of moose in those too.

I will apply of course but I think I want to focus on getting my antelope this year, 400 pound color phase bear and another 180 class whitetail. I have to tell my self all these things so I don't get depressed when I don't get drawn. :chuckle:
:yeah:
Antelope is my #1 priority this year (mostly 'cause I think I have an outside chance of being drawn for that one in MT). I only have 4 points for Moose, 7 for Elk, and 4 for Deer. Bought all the raffle tags though.

????? you live close to 108 and 111???? I Elk hunt close to the border tons of moose. A good chance of getting a bigger Canaden Bull.I only put in the Selkirk unit and 49 unit.

There's getting to be 45's in all units. My bull came in and at a quick glance I gave him a 50". Ended up being 43" :bash:

Those units are to the East of me, I have thought of Three Forks, I've seen several in that area. It is only about an 1.5 hours from me and I've only been there five or so times. I just don't spend much time up that way. I just really know my way around 49 and Selkirk.
