Put my application in yesterday for the 10th year in a row for Deer and Elk in a "low point" LE unit. Got my fingers crossed as usual.

At some point here in the next few years I will be starting to question just how unlucky a guy can be. haha

 

[woodruffhunter]

My wife and I applied for the tougher units this year as I have unexpectedly drawn Arizona elk and will draw (should) my Wyoming elk tag. My son has a really good bear tag as well that he did not think he would draw. Most of our time is already planned, which is good. If we do draw a tag, we can make some more time….

Good luck to everyone!

 

[Soj51hopeful]

Nice to see Utah raised their prices just like everyone else. (Sarcasm for those who don’t know)

 

[Bux n Dux]

Is this the official thread we are going to use to ***** and complain about the draw?

I won't complain till after the draw, unless I draw a sheep tag.

Yup, lett’er buck!!!

I am in the same boat, my son drew an early archery tag in AZ so I had to change my choices, but we will find a way to make it work if me or my wife get real lucky

 

[Blackie6]

In the same boat as a few of you who already commented. I lucked out on a AZ elk tag. So changing Utah strategy this year and swinging for the fences.

You don’t need anymore tags. You’ve killed more big bucks than I’ve lied about

 

[PleaseDear]

I'm down to just being able to apply for LE Deer and a Bull Moose in this draw.


I don't need another Bull Moose on the wall so if I drew it, I would mentor the tag.


Anyone need a Daddy for 2024 draw? haha

Why would you ever have 14 antlerless deer points

 

[Stevo]

I'm going to wait for New Mexico results. So I'll be one of those applying on the last day hoping the system doesn't crash.

You OIL record is astounding.

 

[Bux n Dux]

Why wouldn’t you?

 

[Muleman1]

Why wouldn’t you?

Cause you can draw any tag with way less than that waste of $

 

[PleaseDear]

$10 for a point---yeah, that'll break the bank....


I still want to hunt even when I get older so having plenty of Points on Antlerless deer/antelope gives me a chance to Share my Points with someone and not be hunting alone in my late 70's/into my 80's.


I don't need to always kill a Buck or Bull on hunts anymore.


The meat is more rewarding and last a lot longer than 'horn'.


Thanks for axing though,


Robb

Unless you want to point boost a kid at some point who is starting fresh with 0 points and want to give them an opportunity the first year they can hunt.

Bonus round: you mentor them your tag as well so they can shoot 2 (or 4 if your timing is good)

Sounds like a waste of $$$$$$$ to me!

 

[rmanwill]

Yep. Done with Utah and Colorado for wife, 3 sons and myself.

 

[PleaseDear]

I'm in for LE Muzzy/Late Gen unit deer and for a Bull Moose.


Now the wait.



Robb

 

[Airborne]

14 points--sheesh, that's Bush League

 

[Crampy]

Why would you ever have 14 antlerless deer points

Only because of point averaging. I have tons of antlerless points in states that allow averaging.

The second a friend or family member is interested in going, I step in to point boost them and we go hunting.

But yes, I likely will just die with all those doe/cow points and consider it a non tax deductible donation.

Some states that flirt with abolishing point averaging understand the lost profit that would result.

 

[ElmerFudd]

Now the wait.

Are not the next steps complaining about the wait, trying to figure out a backdoor and speculation on when?

Yes; I wish they’d hurry up with the draw so I can plan my vacation….

Did AZ just hand out elk tags right and left? I got one too, in a unit that should have taken 21ish points. I had 12. My wife will most likely draw a 3rd season CO deer tag. That's my 3 weeks of vacation. If we draw anything else, there's going to be trouble.

Sounds Like GOOD Trouble!

I'll bet you don't have 14 antlerless deer points! I put in for my son and myself and that gets pricey. You've got 5 of you.....Fish and Game loves you!

It cost me every year for the five of us. A lot of the time with no chance for a tag, but just to stay in the point game.

I do get to enjoy some great hunts and make memories with the family. Just not very often with the tag in my pocket.

I continue to put us all in to hunt together. I could take that money each year or two and buy a voucher tag or buy a hunt, but not near as fun or with the family or friends. Luckily I started buying points for all when they were at age. Started paying off recently and hopefully for the next several years.

Bess:

She has given up on vacations. I think that my last two Anniversaries were spent at the Chiropracter and making a trip to Costco...

If she beat the the .0001 odds by drawing that Cache Moose permit, things will look up

I do have an elk hunt planned if I draw and will need you as a guide. It's up in your country, where the guy ran out in front of us during my muzzleloader deer hunt

Can’t fault you for saving a doe or two!

 

[legacy]

Why would you ever have 14 antlerless deer points

Probably the same reason I have I have 15 turkey points and 19 bear points. Lol

 

[rmanwill]

There's always a reason why someone has or hasn't got an odd amount of points in everyone else's opinion. Just saying.

Haha, One of my kids drew a broken-horn oryx tag. At least it's not overlapping our other hunts. lol
