I suppose if everyone evenly distributed and we didn't have dumb dumbs doing their applications, there probably wouldn't be any 2nd choice applications available. haha. The Red Desert 2nd/3rd choice pronghorn apps in Wyoming are what keep there being some options for residents in the draw, otherwise the numbers wouldn't work. haha.
I only add a 2nd choice entry because I was thinking that in the rare, if not impossible, scenario where IDFG cancelled my first choice hunt between the time I made the app and the time of the draw, the 2nd choice would then become my 1st choice, but I don't know that IDFG would actually do that. They would probably want another app fee.
I don’t look anymore because I want to hold onto that hope a little longer. When I have checked my seed numbers in the past and knew right away I wasn’t drawing anything, I was still disappointed on June 12 for some reason. So, I figure by not looking I only have to be disappointed once lol.I actually wish I would not have looked at my decent seed number, have myself convinced I have a shot when I definitely don’t!
Wise advice. I looked at my seed numbers and was disappointed, so I'm likely to be disappointed again on the 12th.
I’m sorry you have to go through this. I feel like this time of year we could really use some kind of controlled hunt draw support group to help those of us who rarely draw anything cope.
I'm the opposite, I like knowing which ones are absolutely not happening. I can move on and don't feel so antsy waiting for June 12.
I’ve never looked, don’t understand seed #s, will never learn about it.
Me too with mtn goat. If I would have picked a unit with more than 1 tag I would likely draw but I think I’m just outside.
Unless he gets really unlucky he should draw. What unit?
