No I did a search of the auditors checks and saw the $30 check issued to me for lope preference point refund. But word got out so that link is totally locked up now.

Yes UH I also got that...

Back door search is open. Finally cashed in my max points for a red desert pronghorn tag. Unit 64.

Looks like you picked a good year to cash in. Thing I have been careful about is the OR tags are not returnable. Gotta be sure you can do the hunt. I am also awaiting WY lope results with 50/50...

Congrats Horniac. I was in your same point pool for that tag but passed on applying this year due to Wyoming tag. Eager to see how you do.

My buddy and I are one point below max for AZ deer and seriously considering burning points this year, as we have drawn only one other tag for a Sept elk hunt. Dates seem a little later than...

I believe everyone with 11 points got in this year.

Same here for me next couple years. I should be guaranteed to draw our Arizona archery elk unit 1 in 2014, and Oregon Mt. Emily or WW in 2015. The results won't be available until well after all my...

Yes it made for an interesting application season this year. All my other state apps had to be evaluated and changed as necessary. As a result, I applied for many new units I had not applied for...

Umpqua Hunter,

I kicked off draw season early, scoring a Wyoming unit 38 archery elk tag. So due to that I changed a ton of my other apps this year to avoid Sept. 10-30th, for top end units or...

Can't wait to find out what sheep unit I drew. Hope it's near Vegas so I can visit the brother-in-law.

I drew #33 last year. Not quite good enough.

I am a very independent contract worker for the federal governemnt. I make my own schedule that includes regular travel across IL, WI, northeast MO, & UP of M. This allows me to combine a lot of...

Nothing for me, but I already got a good WY elk tag so didn't want anything in AZ. Just wanted my points.

I sure am glad I drew my archery elk tag back when the hunt ran through the whole rut. These new season dates suck, and I would not know what to apply for, I guess one of the firearms as I hate...

Thanks 30, I put in for points anyway. The season is so short in UT and right in the middle of the elk rut. Bad timing. I only apply there because I'm trying to draw my deer tag with 16 points.

Speaking of maps, for Utah I was looking in the hunting regulations for a pronghorn unit map, but could find none. Anyone have an idea about that?

Personally I'd stick with early archery to hunt the incredible rut there and avoid busted up racks. I drew 111-222 in 2007 and scored a 350 7/8 P&Y on the 9th day. Had to pass on two 390-400 bulls...

"If you don't apply you cant draw."

It blows my mind how many times I hear this battle cry. Don Peay & SFW depend on it to pocket your money. UDOW depends on it to pocket your money.

The...

Be aware there is a white elephant standing in the room, in the way of the sunami of 2009 applicants who jumped in when Utah changed the system, allowing nonresidents to apply for all species the...

Eric,

If you are starting from ground zero I highly suggest you not to apply in Utah. Sadly, they are runaway leaders in the privitization of a public resource with their auction, raffle and...

Umpqua Hunter is spot on. I am 53, apply in most those states with about 15/18 points and would consider it a bonus if I ever draw just one in my lifetime. That is the reality. If you do the odds...

Wyoming elk results are posted. We drew unit 38 archery bull tags.

Feels funny to draw a tag in the 1st lottery of the year. Not used to that. Last year I got like 30 USUCS before pulling a...

I check in on AT every few days, but that site is focussed more on archery than hunting. Great place to buy/sell stuff though.

Been a regulars on Bowsite since 1996 and MonsterMuleys since 2002. ...

HiMtn,

Do you know what is the last day to change apps this year?

Hoss, NM only hates you if you are a DIYer. They love wealthy NR's.

I went through all the rules last year. Any outfitter service of any kind that includes a written contract for guiding or any...
