This is my philosophy. Same results. Drew the only NR WY Bighorns random draw moose tag in 2005. Drew a NR AZ desert sheep tag last year.
Are the odds long? Yes. But they are a heckuva lot longer if you don't put in. Perseverance pays.
Another factor some seem to gloss over is that a moose is not just a moose and a sheep is not just a sheep. The only way most of us will hunt Shiras moose is to draw a tag. The only way most of us will hunt desert or rocky mountain bighorns is to draw a tag.
