Who's had worse luck?

[the nikster]

I am referring only to Idaho but you can refer to whatever state you choose.
I drew a bull elk permit in Idaho in 1993. Since then I have drawn 2 unlimited draw permits but I am 0 for 36 in hunts with actual odds. 0 for 11 on deer, 0 for 11 on elk, 0 for 11 on antelope, 0 for 2 on moose, and 0 for 1 on sheep. And next year I'll try again.

 

[Moosie]

I'll stay out of this one ........

 

[trophy_killer]

so far im 2 for 3 drawing elk permits and 0 for 1 on moose...

 

[GatoMan]

Been a resident for about 7 yrs now and have yet to draw anything, still put in every yr but its getting old.

Moosie,
I really need kicked in the teeth-so give up the tally.
If you kick all my teeth out maybe T-Bone can clean-up the mess with his total stats...
I'm not bitter, I just hate this state and everyone in it and all the lawmakers and the bookies at F&G and the teachers and POlice and dirt and trees and fry sauce!
But I'm not bitter.........

Can't complaign about my luck. 2/3 on moose with 1/1 in Idaho. 1/8 on Idaho RM sheep. 0/2 on Idaho California Bighorn. 0/6 on sheep in Montana not counting putting for the unlimited hunt 3 times. 1/2 on MT Mountain Goat.

 

[Big Fin]

BHR:

That is a pretty good MT record.

As a resident in MT, I am 0/18 on moose, 0/18 on sheep and 1/11 on goats.

Since 1995 I have applied for 25-30 limited entry tags each year in places like UT, AZ, NV, NM, WY, ID, and CO. I did not draw any tags until 2003, when I drew one. In 2004, I drew 3, in 2005, I drew 3, and last year I drew 1.

Not sure what that calculates to as percentage drawn, but not real good. Around 300 apllied for since 1995, with 8 succesful tags. That is less than 3%. All the hunts were great and worth the wait and effort.

Nikster. Sitck with it, you will draw and you never know, it may come in a big bundle like Moosie got this year.

Good luck.

[Bambistew]

I'm 0-16 moose/sheep/goat in MT...

 

[justdada]

It's both comforting and sad to see that I am not the only one with this problem...
So far this year, 0 tags / 34 apps
Last year 0 tags / 32 apps.
'05 1 tag / 31 apps.
etc..etc...
I haven't drawn a sheep tag in the 17 years that I've been putting in, but I'm thinking this will be my year for one in Montana!!! ...yeah ...right...

 

[MarvB]

Won't bore you with my out of state (lack of) success but in my own state of I am 0-18 years for antelope, 0-15 years for elk, and 0-9 years for sheep.

Deer (draw units) are highly variable- I draw the one I hunt the most on about a 3/4 year roatation it seems like but its not as highly a sought after tag.
