Does anybody know anyone that has actually been drawn for pronghorn? I never seem to hear anything about it.
I met a guy at a motel two years ago that drew. I was up there hunting antelope on landowner tags and happened to be in a room next to a group what was hunting on the grasslands. He said it took him 18 years to draw, for what its worth.
If i were to change anything, it would be to limit wins to only one permit per category. In other words, you can enter as many "Either sex" hunt locations/drawing but if you win one, your done. As mentioned, one person got three permits, three locations for the same hunt category. My son and I also got drawn for two of the same type hunt at two different location for the SAME WEEKEND!
They definitely need to change that, I wish they would go back to only allowing one application per category but I don't see that happening ever now that they're making more money with the way it is now. It now takes an average of 5+ years to draw any kind of hunt with this system and the point creep gets worse every year
Congrats to the lucky ones.
All I know is I have 7pp for gator now and the tpwd person I spoke with said the average was 4, but I've always been below average so it's expceted I guess.
My boys didn't draw any of the hunts yet and they now have 3 in the closed drawings.We will keep on pluggin until our time comes.
My boy got drawn for either sex at Devils River should be a good hunt. I grew up hunting in New Mexico (spot and stalk) my boy has never hunted spot and stalk time to show him how it is done.
Nephews got drawn for youth either sex at Lake McClellan Recreational area. Can't wait to take them. Wish it wasn't such a short hunt. Anyone ever hunt there?
Buddy from work and his daughter got drawn for youth Either sex at Chap. Happy for them but so jealous.
Crazy how the 7 years I put my son in for the youth hunts he never once got drawn for any. We hunted several standbys but never drawn. That was old system. Nephews have drawn twice in 4 years and buddy's daughter draws chap both years she entered. Last year was the management hunt. Crazy how it works
My boy scored a Youth Only Gun Deer - Either Sex at James Daughtrey. Status were all "Pending 2nd draw" so I guess somebody didn't accept their permits and he got selected on the next round.
