Texas Draw Hunts

[ZINS708]

This year I've got 3 hits so far...


Gus Engeling Archery Deer Oct 21-25 - 7 points to draw
Lower Rio Grande Schalaben unit NWR archery deer Nov 17-20 - 2 points to draw
Laguna Atascosa NWR General Deer Dec 2-4 - 6 points to draw

I'm chasing some really top-notch, low odds hunts on gun deer either sex, but I've got 12 points and didn't draw this year. How many points does it usually take to draw Chapparal/powderhorn? I've been applying for Chap for 12 years.

I've been putting in at the Chap, Powderhorn, and Kerr for GDE and hit this year for the Kerr GDE with 19 points and Chap for Archery with 18 points. Powderhorn and the Chap usually pull 1 maybe 2 cards max at standby and you usually have around 100+ people show up for those standby spots. Low odds of getting drawn either way.

They're not having a hunt in that category this year. It appears they decided to have an archery deer hunt at Garner instead.

Nice. Was it pretty successful for most of the kids?

It was 7 years ago but there were plenty of targets.

If my calculations are correct, shouldn't the 2nd draw happen tomorrow for E-Postcard Deer and National Refuge Youth Deer?

I applied for 87 hunts this year and so far have drawn Aransas NWR Archery Deer and Laguna Archery Deer.

15 more draws to go.
