Hardest tag to draw in continental United States

[hntnnut]

This year for me it was a Wyoming buck antelope tag.

You too? Drew one last year but had to turn it in due to a broken ankle, got points back + 1 for this year and couldn't draw the same zone this year that I drew last year. Go figure.

That’s simple Texas Desert Sheep. Only 1-2 tags and only $10 to apply Res or NR.

Last year in the TX public draw was 6660 apps for 1 tag

That’s just for the one pure DBH tag. Still one Super tag(mule/prong/wt/BH)

Always wondered what they’d say if you won the slam and didn’t show up for any of the other hunts?

Is this resident or non res?

As far as resident, North Dakota's bighorn sheep saw 1:5,000 odds in 2021.

this year they gave out 5 tags for 19,126 applicants but nonresidents are also included in that figure (only 1 can go to NR but most years ZERO go to NR)

PA, KY,NM ELK. Been applying 10-15 years. No luck.
Also, I havent been able to draw a NM Aoudad tag since it went to draw.
And, apparently anything in TX. Same deal.

Question, is it allowed too will points upon your death, just asking for a friend.

Not in any state I have ever heard of.

Some allow you to share points (average them out) and I have heard of people who have "sold" their points to people who put in with them.

WI Elk is 3/~25000.

It’s a tough one to draw...I’m on 3 years now and still haven’t succeeded!

Probably a non res bull moose or sheep tag, its thousands to one odds and many will die on the list never getting a tag.


What is the Co unit 2 non res elk tag up to? It has to be about 24 points…..and there are many guys that have max points and didnt draw it.

As a fun fact, I would be interested to know if anyone anywhere has more than 25 years invested in a tag.

My friend has 26 for unit 1. No joy.

Alaska Bison 0.3% overall.

I got lucky this year and drew the delta Bison as a non res.

 

[Brooks]

This next application period will be 19 straight years putting in for AZ elk and never have drawn one.

I got lucky this year and drew the delta Bison as a non res.

Congrats. It's a pretty easy hunt so you'll be coming home with one.

Where does NM on-range oryx rank?

1/200 nonres

Worst in NM is rifle nonres ibex. .005 or something stupid like that.
