2024 Goulds Recommendations and Advice

Recommended Posts

Coming into the next spring draw with 25 points, thinking I should be getting close.  Hoping to draw a goulds tag this spring 2024.  For those that have had some success down south, do you have any recommendations of units or info you might be willing to pass on?  

Thanks!

Evan-

Look at the bonus point reports and last year's hunt numbers to look and see what Goulds hunts you may have a chance at drawing with your last year's 24 points.

Yes and thank you, looked at those soon as they were reported.  Narrowed it down the 29 and 30a hunt along with the 35a hunt for best draw opportunity.   More specifically looking at best access and observations in these units.

If you draw a tag in either one of those units, you won't have a problem finding a turkey. If you draw the 35A hunt I would participate in the survey. It's usually a couple weeks before the hunt.

How does the 20% bonus pt work on the hunts that only have 2 or 3 permits?

What if 2 people apply together with max pts for a hunt with 2 or 3 permits, is it possible for them to get drawn in the max pool, or just get randomly lucky?

If you look at the draw reports you can see that turkey hunts with only 3 and even 2 permits for a hunt number are awarded 1 bonus pass tag. Hunts with only 1 permit do not get a bonus pass tag and are just offered in the general draw. As far as applying together I would think that you could not get a bonus pass tag if only one is available. Also don't apply as a group of 2 for hunt with only two permits available because 1 permit will go to the bonus pass and with only 1 tag available you will have no chance to draw.

That is a great plan.
