Ya it depends on the number of tags they draw but typically it's been 6....some years less but last year was 7 because the last application drawn had two applicants. There are 103 people left with top priority so at 6 tags a year, the maximum wait would be 18 years. Each year a percentage of people drop out for whatever reason, so 10-12 years is more likely but with my luck, I'll be the guy drawn on year 18....lol

so... a new person starting out entering this year, builds up points for ten years and then gets drawn from a pool of people of unknown(at this time) size?
I'm not schooled in the fine art of draw procedure, what does this mean to me if my next sheep draw goal is 408?

Thank you. Question answered

Good chance I will get Ant moose for home here. I would love to shoot one withthe bow and if that doesn't work,hit the rut with the ML. Last year my wife turned down 17 bulls in search of a good one but she was pickier longer than the season was. I also tried for non-tro sheep and 999 everything else. I could get camp Wainmwright if I wanted and Antelope but they all got 999. Plus My Dad and brother should get there bull elk tags here,lots of meat to go around. And if no one is successful, there is beef in the corral getting fat

She'd be a cold day in hell before I'd want to put cash up against these two. Stinky and Potty, I get all 'tingley' inside when you say stuff like that.

With some pretty significant changes in my personal life coming up here in September (good ones), I'm a 999 across the board. However, my hunting partner is a P10 on elk and going to pull the tag on an eastern zone. I'm probably going to be there running a camera if everything works out.

Good luck guys 'n gals. May '11 be your best season to date.

Wow Tj you'l be like 6....I mean a little older by then.

Arn?Narn. · #38 06-20-2011, 07:10 PM

This year will most likely see me with my moose tag (get a cow just about every year) and general tag elk. A few deer and a trip to the mountain will round out the season. It's funny how much more a planned and thought out hunt costs as opposed to one off the cuff,...lol

mtnhunter · #39 06-20-2011, 07:32 PM

After years of waiting, I expect to finally get drawn for my bull elk!! I can hardly wait!!!

buckbrushoutdoors · #40 06-20-2011, 08:10 PM

I think the only draw I will be getting this year will be Camp W muzzy hunt. Im hoping my Dad gets his bull moose tag in 346. He's never shot a moose and it would be really awesome to see him tag up on his first bull in the calling season.

Other than that im hoping some luck floats my way and I get one the few unlikely odds draws!

Good luck to everyone in there drawsthis year, I know some of us that plan these draws a few years in advance so good luck to everyone!

Elkaholic6 · #41 06-20-2011, 08:22 PM

526 for mule deer
360 for cow elk
523 for whitetail

Then helping my buddys film and call elk.

BDL · #42 06-20-2011, 08:45 PM

I 999ed everything this year, my new son will occupy most of my time this fall. Should get a few days to go out for a white tail though.

ksteed17 · #43 06-20-2011, 08:48 PM

ill draw mulie in the south and maybe 300 elk but probably not

Rich and I were talking today and he said we might have to push you up there in your wheel chair by the time you get drawn in 408.

Thunder/FX · #46 06-21-2011, 12:42 AM

Other than the usual stuff I applied for the Bison hunt AGAIN!
Nothing would make my season better than getting drawn for Bison. Got the 45/70 tuned in with a hefty load and REALLY want to get a chance to use this great old cartridge on a great old game animal. Got my fingers crossed

crazyfish · #47 06-21-2011, 06:34 AM

11 draws for me, NT sheep is my hope this year, some building points, a few long odds draws, and 999 my T antelope(that hurts , )i was really looking forward to that this year , but i will wait another or two and see what happens !
My daughter also insisted that i put her in for the 438 sheep, she laughed and said it would be really funny if she got it before me !!! I didn't laugh! but she really does want a sheep , so at least i have a new partner ! She's also praying for a bull moose!
Good luck to all !

Here's some pictures of the Muledeer bucks that the Guide (dad's) clients have taken over a 3 year period!

NBFK · #50 07-02-2011, 12:17 PM

Wow WTJ those mulies look great! Looks like some good consistency!

packhuntr · #51 07-02-2011, 12:30 PM

Some cranker mules there W/T Junkie! That first one, the oddball son-of-a %&*, hes beyond cool, how could ya pass that! Best be leaving a little elbow room at the table boys, I might want in too! So between Stinkycoyote, Chet, Pottymouth, no doubt Mamba too, W/TJunkie, Droptine, Rackmastr and Bambi, any of you girls cook up a wager, or still busy struttin around LOL!?

steve · #52 07-02-2011, 12:35 PM

Hows this wager going to work? Potty and Mamba are archery I'm betting. The V gang are rifle and muzzy. How are we gonna level the feild

Why, inches of course Steve! The smart money will unquestionably be on the bow boys

Not sure how or if they want to iron er out, should hear from them soon, dont think many of em would miss an opportunity to blow thier horns LOL!

Inches?? No chit

Thinking maybe the boy bows get a handicap?

Would like to hear what the buck looks like, that potty is watching. What would he have went last year Potty?

I know, I know, Pottys mule aint got enough Steve. I think your boy might be fallin shy of par in this golf game Potty!
Not sure about a handicap Steve, you start giving inches to some of these guys and there will be some pretty big numbers getting tossed around here come December after the smoke settles!

Rackmastr · #56 07-02-2011, 01:23 PM

Great pics WTJ,

That one buck titled "Gary7" I think is the same buck I talked to your Dad about several years ago and watched during bow season. I was 18 yards from him with permission on a 'scouting' trip and had left my bow at home as it was a short trip...haha.

I had chatted with him about him and heard that he had got him knocked over that year. Great buck no doubt!!!
