I'm from KY, I have been putting in as a NR ever since it opened. My father is a resident and I've entered him every year also. Neither have drawn. I did put him in this year again...but I drew NM tag so I'm out.
The odds are terrible for those hunts and as a NR it's similar to hitting a once in a lifetime western hunt. However....the cost is super minimal to apply so why not.
Good luck to all that do apply.
