I applied for Limited Oak Creek any weapon and 2nd choice Oak Creek Muzzy. I have a snowballs chance in hell odds of drawing as I have 11 NR points. Oh well I want to play Lotto. Good luck My Dears...
I agree Founder...It would be laughable.That’d be really cool to come out on top with those odds. Probably be more fun drawing the tag than hunting!
My wife won a drawing for a trip to Italy once. There were about 300 people in the drawing. Beating those odds was so fun….Italy was ok.I agree Founder...It would be laughable.
Haha good luck with that! But you are right seems like every year 1 or 2 fantastic tags get drawn by applicants with 0 or 1 point. I also like Our (Utahs) system!Someone always beats the odds - one of the reasons that I like Utah's draw process with 50% of tags going to highest point holders and 50% random. There is always a chance.
I drew a OIL moose tag with ZERO points in 2000 and hunted RM Bighorn sheep last year. Hoping I can draw Desert bighorn sheep this year with ZERO ?
Correct me if I’m wrong but, if we base it off last year he has a 1 in 1220 chance as there were that many who applied and only 1 random tagSince nobody has said it yet. You have zero chance of drawing your second choice but good luck with your first choice. If your basing your odds off 307 people that put in last year, that's not your true odds. In fact with 11 points, your odds are probably a little better than that.
I'm right there with you littlebighorn. Luckily I bought points for wife and kids from the time they were eligible and have been on some awesome hunts and have several more to come. I don't have to be the trigger guy to make memories.Some people are just plain lucky with draws and I'm not one of them. I was pretty much the last person in my point pool to draw most of my LE/OIL tags and I'm still playing the point game in multiple states with no expectations.
