When will I draw

buttshot · Feb 19, 2015

I put in for the Manti with 12 points on bull elk. What are my chances of drawing this year and if I continue to do the same thing every year from now until I draw, how many years before I draw?
I also have 15 bull moose points and have been putting in for the Wasatch front, assuming I do the same thing here on out, when will I draw?
I am starting to feel the years taking effect on my body, don't move like an elastic anymore.

Statistically you may never draw the moose tag within a lifetime. Better get lucky.-----SS

buttshot,
On the early rifle Manti there are 192 applicants ahead of you or in your point pool after the drawing last year.

If no one else jumps in front, and the F&G continues to give 67 bonus tags, you should be guaranteed a tag in 2.86 years.

It's unrealistic to think that a few guys won't jump in front of you with more points (creep) and there will be a few guy in your pool and ahead of you who will draw a random tag, so....

My best guess would be, you'll have the tag WITHIN 3-4 years providing you stay the course. But it could happen any time!

Good luck,
Zeke

Nice , I can wait 3 more years. May not be able to walk very good, but the Manti has plenty of access.

So, if I am lucky enough to draw one of the Expo elk tags or moose tags or bison tags, what does that do to my bonus tags that I have been crazy enough to build up?

"Bonus points are not affected by your application for Hunting Expo tags. You can apply for all available permits at the Hunting Expo and your points will not be affected even if you draw one or more of the Hunting Expo tags. This is awesome! And, all waiting periods are also waived. However, you will not earn bonus points when applying for these permits."

That's straight off the expo FAQ page. The other stipulation is that if you draw an expo tag for species A and a Utah draw tag for species A, you can only choose 1 tag.

So, if I draw a moose tag through the DWR draw and win a moose tag from the Expo raffle and choose the Expo tag, do I loose my OIL draw from the state? Would the Expo tag be considered my state OIL tag? Could I still apply for moose in the state draw?

I only apply for the Manti elk in the state draw. If I draw this tag and am lucky enough to draw the San Juan elk, do I choose between these two? If I choose the San Juan, does this require me to have the waiting period in the state draw? Or because they are different area LE tags , do I get to accept both?
