None. Applied the last 4 years and nothing yet. I'll keep applying.

First year I applied for about 5 hunts and won Fairfield Spike. Second year I applied for about 15 hunts and won Colorado Bend SP Spike. Had fun on both hunts but no luck on shooting a deer. Best part of the hunt is having the park to oneself. I hiked Colorado Bend and saw the caves and falls - that alone was worth it. Fairfield was assigned blind so not much moving around. Last two years in a row I have applied for seventeen spots and have not been drawn.

None. Was drawn the first time I applied for a public land hunt for the Lake Mineral Wells antlerless hunt in 1999, but ended up having back surgery on the day of the hunt instead. Haven't been drawn for a hunt since.

scratch Applied for gun deer draw hunt at DCNF back around 83 when heard bout the deer leasing.
Didn't get drawn. As you posted, it's about the #'ers game, point system. Then heard bout lease that had some hogs on it, at affordable price, under a buck a day year round. We got a small camper for lease, was using a jungle hammok. Still did the family tent outings.
A WMA opened up down road, leasing was out of budget, had ta switch jobs & take cut in pay, health, going kaput. Hunting got too expensive. Becoming a Rich mans Sport.

Question since I’ve never done a drawing. Do you lose your loyalty points if you are drawn but decide you don’t want or can’t do the hunt?

If you get picked you lose your loyalty points even if you don't accept the hunt.

2005-Choke Canyon Muzzle loader Either-Sex deer, returned tag, best friend died of cancer during hunt period.
2010-Chaparral Either-Sex deer, killed 172" and 145" trophy deer and two 7 year old management bucks
2012-Chaparral Crossbow deer, killed a doe and javelina
2013-Palo Duro Exotic, two of us killed 3 aoudad and missed a huge ram
2014-Chaparral Youth Either-sex deer, two grandkids killed two trophy deer and a javelina
2015-Caprock Canyon Mule deer, killed 0ne 20" 4x3 mule deer
2017-Mason Mt. Guided Scimitar Oryx, killed 40" bull
2018-Choke Canyon North Shore Archery deer, fingers crossed for successful hunt.


What a list I am very envious!

This was my 2nd year to apply and I drew Inks lake antlerless this year and I tagged out my 2 doe on the first evening hunt.
