      As insurance I went ahead and paid the $80 for my hunt in case my son came down with a serious illness or what have you that would have kept us from going out west.

      Needless to say, 26 preference points went bye-bye, as did my $80.
      Well you can look at it this way. In this draw system, preference points really don't help you very much statistically.

        Mr. Grizz83 is right. There's so many folks with points in each category that you should just look at it as a random draw.

          My dad and I have 23 points in Pronghorn category as well. Pending 2nd draw again.....

            Those of us that don't have many points enjoy that fact but understand our tune will change in time. LOL

              I had 10 points on the Private Lands Pronghorn and I'm pretty sure that is how many years that they have offered that hunt. I have 18 for Rita Blanca, have yet to be drawn.

                All the 2nd pendings are hoping you forget to pay!
                Sorry. No such luck. If you get drawn for a Private Lands hunt, there is no additional cost. I've already accepted the hunt.

                          Relatively new to the draw hunts, and obviously never been selected, but are the bag limits listed for each hunt per person in the hunting party or per group?

                              Anyone know when the draw dates are for the next batch of hunts (those with application deadlines on 8/15)?

                                Usually the day after the draw closes, sometime after lunch.
