49 Deg - 2008 Permits/2008 applicants - 26/13,792 = .18% chance of getting drawn
Selkirk Mtns - 2008 Permits/2008 applicants - 25/11,392 = .21% chance of getting drawn

Not moose. But I know of a guy who drew the Watershed tag twice, with 0 points both times... :bash: :bash:no dude....they give you one point when you apply :chuckle:

Let's use 8 points as the average, based on last years permits/applicants, Selkirk range has better odds the 49 Deg North.
49 Deg - 2008 Permits/2008 applicants - 26/13,792 = .18% chance of getting drawn
Selkirk Mtns - 2008 Permits/2008 applicants - 25/11,392 = .21% chance of getting drawn
I prefer to do it this way:
49 Degrees: 13,788/26 = 1 in 530
Selkirk: 11,392/25 = 1 in 456
But yes you are right, Selkirk has slightly better odds. I guess I should have said something more like of the units he wants to hunt, 49 Degrees has the best odds, so in that case there's no reason to put down any more than just the one choice. The odds on 49 and Selkirk are virtually the same anyway. Look at a permit like Three Forks... the odds on that would be 1 in 1611. So if somebody wants to draw that hunt, they would want it to be their number one choice.

Why, do you have Three Forks #1, 49 Degrees #2, and Selkirk #3 ???
Yeah, in that order...
Of course my methodology was based upon a bull I saw 5 years ago that's probably dead by now.

My buddy drew in 2007 on the REDRAW with I think 4 points going into it and it was either his 3rd or 4th choice unit.Did he tag up? Big bull?
Post by: GoldTip on May 21, 2009, 10:35:17 AM
To be honest he said he just felt a ton of pressure with that Moose tag in his pocket. He passed on several bulls the first four days of season, and despite having lots of time left, he dropped a very tasty young bull that was an easy pack out.
Post by: bobcat on May 21, 2009, 11:04:57 AM
bull that was an easy pack out.
Isn't that the best kind of moose? If I ever draw a moose tag that's what I will be looking for... the biggest bull CLOSE to a road. :chuckle:

Caretaker, for me if I was to draw a tag I only wanted to hunt that unit, all the reasons aside, that is why I only applied for 49DN.How big was the rack on your bull from 49DN?

Why would you only apply for one unit? With WA being a once in a lifetime tag why even risk only trying one unit? Why waste your years as life passes you up and risk never getting drawn? I don't get it, maybe I'm missing something here.
Caretaker
This is the first year that I have put in all four areas on my tag. I have 13 or 14 points this year. The reason that I have never done this in the past is that I really know the 49 unit very well. I grew up in that unit and know where I can find bulls that will go over 50". I dont know how many more years I will be in WA so I put in for everything this year. I still will hold out for a nice bull if I get it.

I still can't bring myself to put down a 4th choice. I know that I should probably put one, then just scout and bug the biologists until I get draw, but I just don't know the other areas enough to make myself put down another choice. Maybe next year if I am not concentrating on an out of state hunt like I am now.
"...don't know how many more years I will be in WA..."? That sounds ominous Teacherman. Are you planning on doing some job hunting while you are in Montana antelope hunting this year...?

Friend drew selkirk last year with 2 points and killed a top 5 in the state bull. Lucky SOB.
Photos? Need the day dream stimulation... :rolleyes:

:chuckle:unless you are more into shed hunting than moose hunting.
Now thats some funny chit right there :chuckle: good one Jackelope. :tup:
Actually Sky, no regrets at all. I was looking for a 50"+ bull with split brows and was prepared to go the distance to get it ( I really wanted to get my name above Dougs in the book :chuckle:)
We found the bull to do it the first weekend and I spent the rest of the time trying to get him, the opportunity just never presented itself.
As far as packing goes, M-Ray has been wanting to pack a rear quarter since I wouldn't let him pack one of mine, his back is bad and I didn't want to listen to the whining the rest of my life :chuckle: Actually it turns out to be a good thing too, he found out yesterday its worse than he thought, ruptured discs :yike:
