San Juan elk for me.... I just want to worsen the odds for the ol' bess......
3TOE I like you so I’m going to share a little bit of information I dug up on my research.Dang man! Surely you should draw with 24 points. If not, I’m just giving up because my ass will be too old to hunt by the time I get that many points. Lol
I sincerely appreciate you sharing your research. I spend a lot of time researching also, but I honestly don’t dig that deep. So are you saying to just keep my chin up & I could get lucky or are you implying that the odds are so bad, I just shouldn’t get my hopes up?3TOE I like you so I’m going to share a little bit of information I dug up on my research.
I have 23 non-resident limited entry Deer points in Utah.
There are 101 of us non res with 23 or more points in the deer pool.
There are seven bonus tags total available for the hunts I’m interested in, which are the same hunts most of the top point holders are trying for. With a few exceptions.
I’m not really good at math but it appears like it could be 10 or more years before I’m in the running for a premium bonus deer tag.
There’s always a chance in the random draw but if you look at the stats it just doesn’t happen for top point holders in the random.
26 res San Juan. (I'll send you pics Bess)
26 SJ Points & 6 Manti Points!
Ya!
I'll Call You on That One Hossy!

19 north slope moose
6 Manti muzzy elk
Dedicated nebo deer
8 freaking bear points
So pretty much same as every year, deer hunt and any bull.
Plus 1 turkey
1 swan
It sounds like we need to get the legislators to sign in a bill of a point trust, when a hunter passes holding points they should be split between family members since it was a lifetime investment with the state of Utah
I think most of us hunt in other states and various species. Also with family and friends there are opportunities to go scouting and hunting fairly often.are you guys with all these points getting to hunt in other states or seriously waiting 15 plus years to hunt?
I have drawn a LE deer Commanche, LE elk Fish lake,OIL Bision and a Antelope Southwest desert the last year of the old system. A cow elk tag every few years. A deer tag every year and buy a elk tag every year. As well as helping other family member when they draw. This is just in Utah. According to my wife I do nothing but hunt. Then there is upland hunting. Just because you don’t draw a tag doesn’t mean you don’t hunt. Ya we hunt !I am not telling. Odds are bad enough. ?? 28 combined points
