    I'm sure it was rough going on that hunt!!! I'm hoping I get my points reset this year. That would be awesome.

          I have 3 exotic and gator points, 2 GDE, and 2 Nat. Refuge Deer and Exotic, Outside of alligator, I try to only apply to the 'more adventurous' hunts.

            For fall i'll be in class half days tue/wed with a 12 hr clinical on Saturdays(drew a crappy clinical day) I can take off work other days but can't miss school. I'll see what I can apply for with those open dates. Won't be much but I'll apply for whatever I can if they're decent locations. If not I'll wait till next year. Scared to apply and get drawn and lose points on a hunt I can't go to.i did. Heck gator and I can apply for that. Itching for that I was drawn last year but cancelled due to Hurricane
            Good luck everyone

              Just finished applying in 21 hunts. Most points I have are 4 in archery deer, 3 in gun deer either sex, NR gun deer, and private lands either sex. I have 2s and 1s in others.

                What do you guys think about limiting the youth hunts to 3 applications per category? I kind of like it since there is no cost to prevent folks putting in for everything. Hopefully more kids get to hunt.

                  It was pretty common for folks to apply for every hunt because it was free. Many hunts went unfilled for that reason and youth hunts typically don’t allow standby. Hopefully it will be more equitable this way.

                    Yes. I think it is a good move.

                      They need to do that for adults too

                        They should have a "points only" option for those only looking to build points and not hoping to hunt that year. Would help the draw odds some.

                          Just pick one hard to draw hunt in whatever category you want the points in. You only have to apply for one hunt to get the points for that category. I did that last year.

                            I did that a couple years ago and of course we were picked. It sucked to have all our points wiped out for a hunt we couldn't go on, but agree this is the only way to do it.

                                That's just bad luck. Most try forever and never pull a mule deer tag. To get it on the year you can't go id a huge let down. I was able to find dates I can go over winter break for almost all the categories. One of the only that won't work is pronghorn private or public but ive decided I'm still going to put in for it to get another point. I have another 35 years or so to keep applying for it. Hopefully when I have 40 points it will give me the edge I need lol
