Draw Hunts

[hooligan]

Made my annual donation. And seeing DocMay made me throw some at the big time Texas hunts too

You’re welcome TPWD

Our group made our annual donations. $200 and a few more “loyalty points” although it’d be nice if tpwd would reset one of my categories to zero this year.

Forgive me if I'm late to the party, but I hadn't noticed Richland Creek in the E-postcard section before for Waterfowl. It looks like if you draw you get exclusivity on one of the most crowded waterfowl public spots in Texas.

As for the other E-postcard hunts, I'm not too impressed with the locations available.

They draw 25 groups per weekend so you wont be the only one out there. Considering most groups will have 3-4 guys you looking sharing it with close to 100 people.

Your points average out, say if we apply together, you have 3 points and I have 1 the app goes in with 2 points.

So it could be a higher or lower chance depending on how many points you have and how many your buddy has

The plus side is if you get drawn you get to hunt with your buddy.

There has to be 3 spots available though, if there's 2 open spots and you have a group of 3 you're not drawn. This is one of the reasons I've not been drawn for anything, ever. Guys I know apply alone and get drawn every few seasons here or there. I always have wide and 2 sons on my apps.

Question on Private land hunts. So from what I'm seeing on the app, the only charge is the $10 app fee? Looking at the dove hunts also. Where is South Texas-Texas Wild? Getting ready to donate. thanks.

I know for a fact that this isn’t true. We were drawn on the chap with a party of 2 when they only had one spot left. Also I talked to the lady there that was in charge of the chap(big cow). She told us that even if we would have had four in a group they would have drawn us. It’s max group specific, not person specific

This is correct.

Well, we missed Colorado mule deer and cow elk and Wyoming pronghorn and cow elk so I guess we will try to hit the mule deer and pronghorn hunts this year. Daughter had youth archery at Martin Dies. She came close to a doe but she spooked when my daughter started to draw. Son and I drew Balcones. We had bucks at 370 but decided to pass on the shot. If we draw again we will be ready. I'm skipping most of the waterfowl hunts this year (I usually do those). We're going to hunt out of state for waterfowl and ditch chickens.
So, pronghorn, mule deer, javelina, exotics and pigs are on our list. We'll also apply for squirrel. We didn't draw last year. Who applies for squirrel?

I noticed some hunts for upland game that appear to be squirrel and rabbits. Interesting...

Good luck to all..unless your in my categories, in which case I wish you good luck for 2020...ok. Good luck this year as well.

Wow, looks like less options than in the pass. Garner is the only one for archery exotic now.

Only thing that had dates that worked for me was James Daughtrey WMA archery deer.

Who knows maybe this will be the year.

I haven't looked close but does anyone know if youth are limited to only applying for 3 hunts in each category again this year?

[yotethumper]

Lots of these dates are in the middle of the week which wont work for my schedule. I don't think I will even mess with applying this year. I guess better odds for you all!
