My guess is people have a lot of time on their hands to research everything and put in for draws

yeah, black gap for example had 7 rifle hunters and 6 tagged out in 2018. https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/hunt/public/public_hunt_drawing/statistics/2017-18-Harvest-Summary.pdf

Not sure. Those are archery stats so I’m sure it’s tough hunting but it’s also big acreage, plenty of room for more hunters.

Mule deer might as well be a pipe dream too. Thousands of people apply for something like 8-15 permits and there will be a 10-20% success rate. I always wonder why they can’t allow for more permits with such terrible harvest stats.
