I know a few people on the list…
Isn’t that little man’s second tag at the expo?Glad to see Mr. Warren got a tag. Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
If it is, I'm surprised it hasn't been more than that.Isn’t that little man’s second tag at the expo?
What would the Exo be like if a Hushin' member didn't get drawn?One of the hush kids drew again too
which one? Name?One of the hush kids drew again too
Gage Butlerwhich one? Name?
Utah boys cleaned house this year, and dang butler must be a common last name. Nothing for me but I only went in on the once in a lifetime species.
They had a big booth and a discount code for the gate as they do every year.Was Hush a sponsor the expo?
I really liked their display of bulls that never should have been mounted. Just a mini-me of mossbacks booth.They had a big booth and a discount code for the gate as they do every year.

Thanks! Now I have some work to do. Adding them to my lists of winners since they started in 2007! Let's see who are repeaters! I'll get back to you when I finish. Probably Sunday.

Geez! Give me some credit! I only gave you 2024 repeaters and I ain't got time to list on this forum the other 325 repeaters since 2007. Or the 3,500 total EXPO hunts since 2007 with Names, Towns, Year, Species, Weapons, Areas and special regs (no dogs, no baits, early, mid, late, hunter's choice, cow only, public land only, nonres only, etc). Go hire a secretary to do that if you want it that bad!That List Ain't Gonna Cut It!

So, does that mean we will start making our posts (and opinions) based on facts, not rumors? I hope so!Well aren’t we pissy, thanks for doing my homework… I stand corrected….
You can no longer draw more than one EXPO tag per year, thanks to Heidee Latham's draw. Now, if you draw an EXPO tag you are out of the EXPO pool. However, if you've drawn a tag for the same species from the General Hunts, you have to make a choice which one you want and the other goes back into the pool it came from and is given to an alternate applicant. I think almost everyone picks the EXPO tag because it has no waiting period and doesn't reduce points.If you draw more then one tag in a year do you receive both or have to pick one of the two or three if you were so lucky to draw that many in one year ?

I probably could have done it when I took integral and differential calculus at USU, but I now have to use a calculator to add and subtract. In any case it is so low that the public thought it was impossible without some kind of corruption going on. There was such an outcry that the DWR changed the rule to only one EXPO tag per year. That's all you can win now.It's All Good efa!

You're sound asleep!! That certain auctioneer has won 2 EXPO tagsAm I crazy or do I remember a certain "lucky" auctioneer drew a bighorn sheep tag in the early years? Did that really happen or am I up in the night?
There are indeed a lot of tags that appear to be won by members of the same family. And that's also true of the 17 year list. Especially if you don't confine it to one year or repeats only. I'll check it out, but it'll be week or so to check 3,500 hunts. (I've got some guns to rebuild, some turned wood/epoxy vases and a knotty pine coffin to finish.)2024 Utah Expo $5 tags Rigged

I don't know how they do it now, but I know it used to be from a computer in a one-man operation in a home per my GRAMA and the DWR merely announced the winner at the DWR Office. They may now do it on stage at the DWR Office, I don't know. However, I do know it's NOT the same draw vendor the DWR uses. The EXPO is not one of System Consultants' clients. I suspect there would be a Conflict of Interest issue if they both had the same draw vendor and maybe that's partially why RMEF didn't get the EXPO contract. Their plan was to use the same draw vendor. We were told they didn't get a good score because they didn't already have the contract, but the real reason could have been, they knew that RMEF wouldn't be allowed to sign a contract with System Consultants and it would stir up more questions about the draw. This is all speculation, but it is troubling isn't it?Well I know nothing how this expo works but here is my question
Do they draw through a computer or behind doors?
Last night, I GRAMA'ed the DWR for the name and location of the EXPO tag drawing vendor and they returned a notice that they had received the GRAMA and would get back to me within 10 days. Let's see how that plays out.I don't know how they do it now, but I know it used to be from a computer in a one-man operation in a home per my GRAMA and the DWR merely announced the winner at the DWR Office.

This is all speculation, but it is troubling isn't it?
We (UWC) questioned the use of a one-man operation, not necessarily because we thought it could be crooked or faulty but because it was a one-man operation with no back-up person to run it in case the man couldn't. But of course, we lost that one too!
My experience with humans states otherwise.I don't think the expo team would be stupid enough to risk their whole cash cow to fix tags for friends/supporters plus risk prison time for fraud involving millions of dollars. They know the value of those tags, they're the ones who auction them each evening.
I do, however, think the draw program they use is flawed and may not be running a true random draw. The odds of an individual making a mistake is greater than the consistent statistical flukes in the results, IMO.
I think it's more likely a coding issue than a deliberate attempt to alter the results, but I'd feel better if a third-party computer expert/programmer could have a look through the code and results and do an audit.
Heck, I'd probably pay for it myself if they'd give me access.
How much does the DWR charge you for a GRAMA? Do they charge by the amount of time it takes them to look it up?Last night, I GRAMA'ed the DWR for the name and location of the EXPO tag drawing vendor and they returned a notice that they had received the GRAMA and would get back to me within 10 days.

Like how he said we give it a keyword.
Ya!
Guess I've Been Outdone By The Keyword!
HTF Does That Work?
It depends on what you're looking for. Sometimes they don't charge anything, but sometimes charge quite a bit if they have to spend a lot of time looking for it and putting it in an email, text, paper copy, cd, etc. They have all of that info on their website.How much does the DWR charge you for a GRAMA?

Thanks! Now that you've identified it, I vaguely remember the circumstances. There was trouble in the company and one of the principles ended up in Salt Lake. and started a computer business called Grey Skies Technologies and that's the one the DWR gave me with my GRAMA. Whether or not they were actually using the one that was in Seattle (or Los Angelos) I couldn't say. All I know is they gave me one in Utah and it was a one man (and wife) operation. And he was the only technician while his wife was doing all of the business stuff. We thought it was too risky to sign up with a business like that. But, of course, we lost because the DWR wasn't the ones who had the contract and SFW wouldn't give it to us because of trade secrets.Grey skies Technologies

I would guess your wrong. They had great attendance again. I didn't make it this year.I noticed the expo didn’t release any attendance or $ raised press release this year. By now that’s usually done. I’m sure revenue and $ raised has dropped. Last year they left out attendance on their press release. Maybe, just maybe the Expo isn’t breaking records anymore.
i like your thinking.....Was Hush a sponsor the expo?
It’s strange they haven’t put out a press release.I would guess your wrong. They had great attendance again. I didn't make it this year.

Having said that, I can't say whether or not their current arrangement is more secure or not. It appears to be a very stable, reliable, honest company now and I wouldn't question otherwise. As far as the actual computer draw goes, that's far out of my territory. I once took a class in Fortran with punch cards and got a good grade, but computerwise it was a long time ago in a faraway galaxy. I remember nothing except the computer would have fit tightly in my house including the basement and it only worked with numbers.
Maybe our view of "random" is different. To me it means a somewhat orderly complete spread of names. But to others it may mean total chaos. This program seems to be in the middle, We get random names, but clumped results. For instance, if we count the number of names beginning with the letter "C" we get 11 in 2020, 16 in 2021, 18 in 2022, (I accidentally deleted 2023), so the trend seems to be pretty steady, right? WRONG! In 2024 we get 1! That doesn't seem right to me, but maybe it just proves the draw is random! (I hate it if it's that random!)
In any case, I can't fault the company or the algorithm. But I'm still not going to apply unless they go back into the regular dr
Well, I got my reply from the DWR this morning (that was really fast because it didn't take much research or paperwork) and they didn't even charge me. Imagine that! I made the mistake of asking who CONDUCTS the draw, In any case, the name that I got was Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, so I guess they still hire Grey Skies.Last night, I GRAMA'ed the DWR for the name and location of the EXPO tag drawing vendor and they returned a notice that they had received the GRAMA and would get back to me within 10 days.

It's weird alright! I thought at least they did it by a randomly assigned number not a keyword! Unless I'm not understanding what a "keyword" is, it seems to me that doing by a keyword would be MUCH easier to manipulate! There's 24 letters in the alphabet but only 10 numbers available and a keyWORD will NEVER include a triple letter or a long sequence or a pattern, but it would HAVE to have an "a","e", "i", "o", "u" or "y" and that omits a whole lot of possibilities. My last name is Tracy, Try and get a keyword out of that!Well, I’ll be dipped in Remi Warren sh!t…. That’s weird…

Actually, my mom told us of a time they went out picking choke cherries and they met another family and the husband praised him for taking his grandchildren out picking. My grandfather corrected him and told him they were his children! Of course the man was surprised and asked my grandfather his age. When grandpa told him, he asked "How old do you have to be before you can't have kids.?" Grandpa----"How the hell should I know?"Probably hung like a horse too

No smiles? I guess I'm no good at telling funny stories because I left out grandpa's age when he had kids.

Anyhow: here's another one. My dad worked for Kennicott (or whatever it's called now) and sometimes they would have potluck instead of separate lunches. My dad ALWAYS brought my mother's marvelous chocolate cake made from scratch. But one time he forgot to tell her about it the night before and in the morning he woke her up to get her to make the cake. Oh! Oh! She was beyond mad! She just throw that cake together with no measuring, no proper blending of the ingredients, no greasing or powdering of the pan and no frosting. I was awake by then and I remember for the first time, I heard my mother "swear" at my dad. "Here's your damn chocolate cake!" and she shoved it to him still in the warm pan. Well, when he got home, he told her that the men thought it was the best cake she ever made and they wanted another one just like it. I don't think they slept in the same bed that night!
I’ve heard of others, here in South Central that did the same thing. It must be a positive gene stain from this area.Now a hunting story. When I was growing up we always had a Tracy camp. my dad, my 2 brothers, my dad's 2 brothers and 2 of my cousins. One time we invited one of my mother's brothers, Uncle Dave, who had hunted as a kid, but not as an adult and hadn't held a gun in hands for 5 or 6 years. So, we bought him a tag and went to camp near Scipio. We didn't have enough guns for everybody so we shared and Uncle Dave ended up with lever-action 30-30 and me and my 2 brothers ended up with nothing. Me and my brothers went with Uncle because we knew how to field-dress a deer. We picked a good hillside with the sun to our backs and we all sat down We quietly started to tell Uncle where to shoot the deer and how to wait for a good shot. But we were interupted by a small buck working it's way up to us on our hillside and we stopped talking. Uncle Dave just sat there so one of us had to tell him to shot. He didn't! So one of us bumped him and he exploded and jumped to his feet and grabbed the gun with his left hand, the lever with his right hand and pumped every shell out of the gun with the pump, yelling "Shoot him," "shoot him," "shoot him". We were laughing so hard we almost rolled down the hill and it wasn't until we calmed him down and showed him the bullets on the ground that he finally admitted he must have gotten buck fever. Luckily, he did much better the next day and got a 3-point as I recall. That's the worst and funniest buck fever I've ever seen
My dad has a few story's like this (people ejecting live rounds and never shooting) but one story about one of his cousins is the best. Apparently someone else had shot a buck and a small group went over to gut it and drag it out, as they got to the ravine the deer was in another much larger buck jumped up and took off, only one of them had brought his gun along and as the buck was running off he would load a bullet, aim, say "bang", and then eject the live unshot round out of the gun, lol he ejected every bullet he had and never fired a shot. Everyone had a good laugh about that.Now a hunting story. When I was growing up we always had a Tracy camp. my dad, my 2 brothers, my dad's 2 brothers and 2 of my cousins.

I’ve heard various versions of the “bang”……. stories too Jake. It’s usually about dubious family member of some sort. I’ve started to believe it might be redneck legend, like the bobcat in the suite case stories. Still……… fun to imagine.My dad has a few story's like this (people ejecting live rounds and never shooting) but one story about one of his cousins is the best.

As for the lists, I planned on sending emails and/or sharing after I got home from church on Sunday, but I was rudely awakened at 4:20 am by an elephant sitting on my chest! My heart was pumping 180 and we called 911 and I spent these last few days in two seperate hospitals. The prognosis? Open heart surgery in about two weeks. I pray for the best, but I'm spiritually and emotionally prepared for the worst. These bodies are marvelous, machines, but like any machine, parts wear out and they are not easily replaced. I have to slow down (not quit) my activities for a while but sitting on my butt in front of a computer ain't one of them. ANY of you is welcome to those lists "cause they are public knowledge., However, get them more from each other than from me please. I've got some other things to clear up. And don't stop the stories!Too much whining on this thread. Y’all just need to quit putting in for tags reserved for the political few. Then you won’t have to come on here and complain about the chance you never had to draw a tag that was never for you
But then we wouldn't have as many funny hunting stories to tell, would we? When people ask me why I hunt when I could just go to Walmart and buy it cheaper, I just ask them , "When was the last time you sat around a campfire with a bundh of family and friends while telling stories about buying your meat at Walmart.?"
Dang Lee, you and I have had our conflicts but I’m very sorry to hear that. Hope you have a full and rapid recovery. Besides these marvelous machines, modern science has added amazing solutions to recovery as well. Prays in your behalf. Any updates will surely be look forward to……. by all of us.As for the lists, I planned on sending emails and/or sharing after I got home from church on Sunday, but I was rudely awakened at 4:20 am by an elephant sitting on my chest!
