Stressing about unit and hunt choices is acceptable though. i love your confidence, but one thing i can assure you is, everything will NOT be fine. theyll get it sorted out eventually sometime before May, right or wrong that remains to be seen. but there will be a delay or screw up of some kind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing the names all get mixed up after there entered but yeah. Me and my dad got drawn for bighorn on separate apps after I dropped it off like that so that's pretty much what I've done ever since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alpinebullwinkle Report post Posted January 19, 2016 In the last century when we still had the barrel/paper system using centrifugal force and putting in the last day seemed to be an advantage. Also sending in application sometimes from out of state seemed to help. Got drawn for a bull tag in 11 of 13 years using those principals when I was young. Since 1990, when I gave up gun hunting for better odds and trophy archery hunting, only drawn 3 tags in last 25 years! Dang computers!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trphyhntr Report post Posted January 20, 2016 I dunno. I like the electronic application. You have a record of your submittal. New school vs. old school? Ask the guys from the javelina draw about how well those records work. Sounds like guys got confirmation they were in the draw and still weren't in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
