I sure hope the herds rebound. The big winter a couple years ago was devastating.

No deer either, but did a random draw, low odds one.

No Wyoming for me in the random. Only Idaho left for this cowboy.
Looks like we posted seconds apart!! lol. Great minds think alike. Fingers crossed for ID for you. I've loved reading your adventures over the years.

Will be interesting to see what the preference point pool was like after the special app price explosion. I have 7 antelope points and put in for a 100% draw at 7 last year. I didn't expect to draw as I figured normal point creep would take it to 8, but very curious what the final point pool looked liked.

The unit I put in for jumped from 7 to <10 for 100% draw

Good luck to you as well. I have a 10 day combo WT/MD hunt booked the last 10 days in November in Alberta and a Late Palouse tag back home so I have a little hunting to do this fall. I’d take another deee tag in Idaho, though.

I figured there would be some big point creep with people not wanting to pay an extra almost $1k for the special draw VS regular.
That same unit that jumped 3 for regular dropped by 4 for special. Was one of those units where it didn't pay off to put in for special. So they probably all piled into regular draw.

Struck out on a Type 1 deer permit with 7 points and failed to draw a once easy 2nd choice type 3 tag...Looks like I may have to keep that Palouse Whitetail tag this year after all, anyone have any helpful info for this Blacktail hunter? :chuckle:. Will be interesting to see what the draw odds were.
Looks like I would have drawn the Type 1 Deer if I had forked out the cash for Special :bash: I'm sure that won't be the case next year..

You never know about the special. On those low tag # hunts, It only takes a couple people jumping in, or jumping out to drastically change the points needed. There's a lq tag with very low tags that I drew in 2022 with 2 points, (not random)the year before it took like 9. This year it took 10 in the regular and 12 in the special 😂Struck out on a Type 1 deer permit with 7 points and failed to draw a once easy 2nd choice type 3 tag...Looks like I may have to keep that Palouse Whitetail tag this year after all, anyone have any helpful info for this Blacktail hunter? :chuckle:.

Didn’t put in this year though. Giving it a couple years for whitetail to rebound. Good thing since I drew a Washington whitetail tag in November .
