The drawing results have started. So far the deer is only one done. I didn't draw the X zone I wanted and got a D5 tag. My daughter drew the D5 either sex tag so at least one of us is going to get to pull a trigger on opening day!

I drew X1.

Congratulations, Best of Luck to both of you. drawing a tag anywhere is always special.

Drew a rifle tag for X3b with 3 other hunting buddies. Should be a good time. Also will end up with a B tag and a bear tag.

Thanks,

Greg

For the 32nd year I drew an A tag... but I've got a PILE of bonus points for EVERYTHING else.

More preference points for me.

Nothing. Have max points for Elk and Antelope. Even missed a C Tag. Back to B again.

All NO's did not bother putting in for goats drew 4 years ago so i'll never catch up with points, got a point for deer as I did not want to draw as it opens in X zone same time as WY goats which I drew.

Good luck in X3B hunted there quite a few times years back.

In the dim historic past I hunted all over the X zones, never to be again. It is very frustrating not to be able to hunt in your own back yard. Times were good with friends long gone.

It takes me about 3 points to draw my X zone....next year I'll have 3 again!!!!

It seems (just by the draw odds in the book) that the point system is working. Except for the prime X zones, the number of max point holders is getting lower.

Points work just fine for deer because of the number of tags and you get a fast turn over in most cases, you have 50% shot with 2pts in some X zones, and many X zones draw 100% with 3-4 pts.

Antelope elk and sheep forget it once you draw as the random number of tags are so low it's almost lotto odds.

I have max points for elk and sheep and i'll be in a walker before I ever draw.

That said I still like the point system vs no points.

Same here......

An antelope tag or elk tag (any Tule tag) is a once-in-a-lifetime tag, because once you draw, you'll probably never draw again. The sheep tag is like winning the lottery......
