Cody, I now give you permission to proclaim it's over.

Codyhuntsaz, I'd trust shadow valley outfitters post along with all the other evidence long before simply taking your 1000 posts saying the same thing abiut it being over. It's not over and after shadow valleys post 100% chance there's a wave of more charges coming. Hoping the tag gods curse you for being so confident it was over.

So for all of you in the "draw's over" camp. . When was the last time there were the initial hits and then not even one other charge talked about the next day? Is that enough to show something weird? Almost always several guys talking about getting their charges on the second day and that's not happening.

I've heard this but noone can provide said screenshot.

Anyone know if these morons have the draw done and then do the charging of cards? Or is it all done together? Seems like they could have the draw done, look everything over, confirm things look right and then charge the cards and be done with it.

They must be making sure their YouTube and sheep society crews are getting some sheep tags before releasing a few to the peasants.

Have a brother with 3 deer tag charges, one should be bonus pass but the other 2 definitely aren't because it's kids with 2-3 points for decent tags.

Yes there is. Enough points or applying for certain low quality hunts can be 100%

Sheep or nr deer?

Little too optimistic I'd say. Results are never that quick after the charges. If things follow last year which was a week later than this year update deadline will be Tuesday June 20th, charges the 21st with results either end of that week or early the following week.

Glad you figured it out but this right here is what gives anyone else a chance of drawing. SOOO many people applying for units they have no chance at and basically not being in the draw. Used to be a lot worse before Jay Scott told everyone what units to put in for.

That's percentage of median since 1991. Total percentage is currently 33% full.

In everything but sheep and bison it's the 20% per hunt code that goes to bonus pass. Sheep and bison its simply 20% goes to the bonus pass for all tags together. So there's no way of knowing for sure year to year if your choice is going to get snagged in the bonus pass but there's 4-5 units that are pretty much a guarantee every year and need to avoid them if you don't have max.

I guess I don't agree with that point of view that just because you had the ability to apply earlier than someone else you deserve a tag more than them. No matter how you cut it there will never be enough sheep tags for everyone to get one before they die. Even if you did 100% to bonus pass people are gonna die before they get a tag. The only thing I would agree on would to have a rule in place that you need to have a minimum of 5+ points or something before you can draw. Atleast at that point you have some skin in the game and show you are dedicated to applying. You also have to realize game and fish is going to want to get the most money they can. Make it to where the new comer basically has no chance at drawing and no new people will apply. Make it to where no non resident can draw and they lose thousands of dollars of revenue. The way I see it is don't plan on hunting sheep in your lifetime. Play the odds game and hope for the best. If you draw, consider yourself lucky and enjoy it.

Yeah except if you weren't born 40-50 years ago you'd basically not have a chance at drawing a tag in your lifetime. That would be the "solution" for those that were lucky enough to be alive and in a position to buy points from the start. Certainly wouldn't be the "solution" for the other 90% of people wanting a sheep tag.

Would you rather get a chance to hunt sheep (regardless of size) or die before getting the chance?

You are correct

His poaching didn't even slow him down. Never lost his license and kept trucking so yes he is still guiding for A3.

Might find a few guys here with knowledge on the unit but monster muleys nm forum will probably produce better results. Maybe try direct messaging the guys that posted on this thread and ask them.

I assume you drew the tag and want some assistance?

People. . . This happens every 6-7 years due to the calendar. Hunts are set based on week of the year. Example certain deer hunts start on the 41st Friday of the year. Every year that 41st day bumps up a day or two until it gets bumped back again. Has happened since the beginning of time and will continue to happen for the rest of time. Noone is taking youth or Thanksgiving hunts away.

I'm out. .

$7.50!

I'll start the bidding at $5

"I'd really like to go this year" doesn't mean "I'm going this year. I wasn't asking". If I were someone that knew anything about wyoming antelope advice you'd be the last person I offered to help. Don't come asking for advice and when people give it to you you don't like it. Figure it out yourself. PS- I hope the "lowest density" wyoming unit you draw doesn't have any antelope left to kill when you get there because "you weren't asking". Pss- 21 points in az is as good as having 2 points and there's a chance you never draw a rifle az antelope tag in your life.
