Best at Being Unsuccessful

[Iowan]

Who has received the most 'Unsuccessful Notices' from Utah either between tags or without ever drawing a tag? Non-residents will dominate this category because they can apply for all species. My brother is at 96 and counting (including bear). I have drawn two good tags so I cannot complain.

The number to beat is 96.

I'm sitting at 88 now. Good thing I can buy a buck and bull tag at the local maverick and hunt for 2 straight months!

Good deal for you!
There's always something to hunt even when the drawings let us down.

Dunno but all possible tags possible for all species as a nonresident since 1996 including bear.
Minus one deer one lope and one bear tag and minus waiting periods for same. Not inclined to do the sad sad math.

Got ya all beat. 134 not including this years, still have not heard back on it.

I'm sitting at 86 UN's. Have drawn 1 LE tag in my life and a GS deer every 3-4 years.

If we are talking multiple states it would scare most people how unlucky I am!

I agree

22 years in a row.
By the time I draw, I'll be too old to hunt.
Heck, I'm too old now.

39 years and this year has not been drawn yet in Kali but I would like to hunt Antelope once in my life.
Un for Utah this year again

It will be hard to beat 134 'unsuccessfuls' without drawing a tag. Some may have more years but actual unsuccessful species applications at 134 - congratulations you are likely the winner. That said you must have a bunch of points - hopefully you can use a couple of them in the coming years. The crazy thing is the younger people just starting points in Utah could/will reach into the 200+ range if applying for all species without drawing a tag.

I really wonder if people just starting understand that it will easily require 2X the points to draw the tag they may be thinking about. Even 30 points may not get you into the entry level LE tags in 20 years.

I am not complaining one bit there are still a lot of great hunting opportunities out there.

Bess, I'm starting to wonder if you actually put in for tags

Is 134 possible? Hasn't it only been like 11 years since you could apply for all of the species? Odds are bad for everyone. 1 deer tag here in 20 years applying.

Well!

I've Got 12 Turkey Points Now as Well!
