SERIOUSLY!! I'm speechless on this one. I just wanted to hunt this year and don't care if I kill a ram or an ewe. I will guarantee I had more points then anyone applying 1st choice for a ewe tag.

I just looked at the stats and it shouldn't take any weighted points to draw a ewe tag

Thats just what I was telling Justin. No one in all of the prior years has put in as 1st Choice with that many points so how didn't I draw. I looked at my application again and its all correct and good. I will now burn my 3 + 2 points next year for this tag because its now become personal!! haha

Congrats Bob!
Nothing for me either - really thought I had a chance for the goat since I put in for a nanny only but oh well. Got a busy fall already so its prolly for the best.

Another sheep point for me, and I've got 3 more years before I can apply for goat again. Probably best for me as well, I really didn't have time this summer to scout for sheep.

More weighted points for me as well. Now have 7 weighted.

Here is what a CPW official explained to me a few months ago on the weighted draw system process:

Each hunter is assigned a draw number (not sure on the number length, but I think the rep told me it was at least 9 digits long).
• That draw number is then reversed (first number now becomes the last number and so on).
• Then there is a physical draw to re-assign the each number. So, the way I understood this process is that there are 10 people and each is selected to draw a “replacement” number for numbers 0-9. Essentially each number will be replaced by a new number. So for example, person A is assigned the #3. Person A draws an 8. Every 3 in each person’s draw number, now becomes an 8. This is done for each number.
• Now the replacement numbers are inserted in the reversed draw number, producing a new draw number.
• The next step is to take your weighted point number and use that as the denominator to divide your draw number by. Now the result of that division is your final draw number.
• The final draw numbers are then arranged from lowest to highest.
• Whoever has the lowest draw number gets the first tag, then the next lowest draw number gets the next tag until all tags are allocated.

Example – let’s assume a draw number has 10 digits:
Hunter A has 4 weighted points and is assigned a draw number of: 7409837512
Now the numbers are reversed: 2157389047
New replacement numbers are drawn:
0 = 4 (zeros are now 4’s); 1=9; 2=5; 3=8; 4=0; 5=2; 6=1; 7=3; 8=6 and 9=7
New replacement numbers are giving to the hunter’s draw number for a final draw number of: 5423867403
This draw number is then divided by the weighted points: [5423867403]/4 = 1355966850

Quite a crazy process, so even if you have 13 weighted points for a species (moose, sheep or goat), you may not get a tag as a result of the randomness of the draw number.

Bears, bulls, and bucks this year for me it looks like. All good, I am looking at my archery ram on the wall now.

Crazy process is right. Hence why guys keep drawing tags I put in for with less points than I have. It's all about luck and not so much on points.

Ok looked at my points for sheep and goat and it doesn't show any points for this year or that I drew. Might be looking in the wrong spot. Where ya seeing this at. And what's the back door code if ya drew a deer or elk tag.

Never mind. I Pad doesn't like CO web page very much.

For deer and elk back door, does 481 for elk and 491 mean no draw. I can't remember the backdoor in and out. It's been a whole year since I had to remember this stuff.

There's no need for the old back door method unless you're wondering about 2nd choice on. Just go to your regular draw results page and at the bottom is a table with your point totals. Anything with 2014 is this year's draw. If you have no points you drew. If you have an extra point you didn't get your first choice. Easy.
