I just looked at my FWP site and it says Pending. Does that mean they drew and were waiting on the results of the draw? Or do they switch status to pending once its the week of the draw?
It’s been showing as Pending ever since you completed the application. Whenever the draw starts you won’t be able to see anything and there’s usually a note to the effect that the draw is in process. After that it’ll show up either under successful or not successful.

Haha, i think the "secret" is out my dude.
Blame it on my ego, but i enjoy bringing a heavy pack and antlers down to a crowed trailhead for road hunters to admire.

We did that on a sheep hunt once, all them guys sitting in boats and driving ridges. By second week all the rams and ewes were pushed up top about 1,400 feet up from river and road. Showed up at 2am. Slept in the rig until 6, ran up the ridge to piles of sheep. That pack out and guys asking where? Where? Was glorious. Elk are just laziness on road hunters part or lack of want. Type 2 fun!!
