Yea those Idaho pronghorn odds are great for residents, anywhere from .1-3% for a rifle buck tag

Sure are. Drew my first year applying and I will probably never draw again :chuckle: :chuckle: :'(
Post by: ctwiggs1 on May 06, 2022, 06:51:17 PM
WY has also seen some pretty drastic reduction in antelope tags in many areas due to herd sizes/winter kill, etc. My old unit there doesn't even have the tag I used to get every other year or so. Obviously this is in addition to more people applying.:yeah:

we hunted does hard for 4 days. Only took 1 shot each at a doe. filled 2 tags and left 2 tags unfilled. very few animals :'(
We then hunted 2 days for bucks. 1 shot opportunity equaled 1 punched tags and 1 tag unfilled. we did pass on a chip shot on yearling buck
43 had 1,300 tags in 2020. this year they have 375 :yike:
42 had 850 tags in 2020. this year they have 250
the past couple years have been rough for antelope
Good luck to those that apply. I don't think there will be point creep this year. It is gonna leap up a couple points for some units :bash:

I have to agree with the comment regarding everyone and their dog making a living by telling us all how to draw hunts in other states; it's making every tag an OIL tag...

That is so true.
Then again, I'm probably a part of the problem :chuckle:

I’m hoping to draw G this year and if I do I will consider it a OIL hunt. Unless I become a resident.
How many point s do you have?

Should be a good year. A few of those winter range bucks are epic and roaming the hills somewhere!

How do you know it's 7%? Is that last year's odds? I'm in for a type 1 deer license with 5.5 points. But no idea what our odds are. Hopefully 100%. :chuckle:

yes, technically going off last few years odds for random draw antelope. i drew 2 years ago and only have 1 point
Tag #'s were reduced drastically the last 2 years

Oh I see, hoping for a random. The license I applied for is new this year and only has 25 tags so there's not even any past draw history to go by. 15 more days to wait isn't going to be easy. :bash:

There's a chance your points will be worth 75% less for LE units if they go 90/10 R/NR split...with 50% of that 10 being reserved only for outfitted clients.
Good luck to all of you.

That sounds great. Hoping to draw an antelope buck tag but a few Antelope doe tags would be good too, that way I could do a two week fly fishing/ doe antelope hunt.

That is my thought as well. I have been waiting out the downturn for antelope in the unit I hunt but will be putting in for hunts I want to draw for all species next year and every year after that.

It crept some if I didn’t draw with 8. Pretty sure 8 was 100% draw last year.barely missed....

6 points and bought the special tag to ensure better than 100% draw (based on last year) :yike: unsuccessfull :yike: LOL. Whoa it's gonna get ugly in the next few years. Never thought a good antelope tag will be a 10 plus year process now. I bet average tags (under 50% public land) will take over 4 years to draw. Makes you wanna be a resident for sure. I think Idaho and Montana are becoming the same. More worried I will never find a decent unit for my 13 elk points.the unit we drew was guaranteed at 8 points last year. We had 9 this year and ended up have 60% draw odds. The deer unit went from an 8 point unit 2 years ago to 50%with 12 this year. Everybody is cashing in with the scare of the 90/10 happening for deer elk and Antelope too.

Nothing for us! I thought my son would draw for sure with his points but not so!!! Missed elk in a major fluke too!!!😤
Yep our party got hosed on elk as well. Unit said it took 11 special points to draw 100%, we had 12 points in the special and did not draw. 😡
Post by: link on June 14, 2022, 07:47:35 PM
I wouldn't say I got hosed, but I missed out on my elk tag. I had one point cushion, it wasn't quite enough. But, it helps a little now that I have a mule deer tag.Nothing for us! I thought my son would draw for sure with his points but not so!!! Missed elk in a major fluke too!!!😤
