I got a "pending 2nd draw" on antelope with 1 loyalty point. Looks like one in a million.

So your saying there's a chance??

Congrats to the lucky guys who drew. Go make us proud and shoot something!

I got pending 2nd draw as well on two hunts. This is my first year can someone fill me in on what that means? I thought there was only one draw?

Basically the 20 people or however many people they picked get time to pay for their hunt. If only 18 people pay and 2 dont then the 2nd draw is for those 2 remaining hunts.

I see. I thought that’s what the standby hunts were.

Congrats to all who drew their goat or alligator tags and anything else they drew today!!!

Even if they get 20 people to pay that still doesnt mean 20 people will show up. Life happens and plans get canceled.

It means you make other plans for that time on the calendar. I'm right there with you...with 12 loyalty points.

Congrats! Hope you have a great hunt!

Make it count because this will probably be the last time in your life to get picked for it. And congrats

I do hope I get picked for something, but seeing this is my first year doing this, I'm expecting not to.

I do have to say, this is pretty cool.
It's very cheap compared to private leases and private guided trips.
If you don't get picked, it's not much of a loss.

I can't decide if I like the drawings being staggered or if I would rather the draw's happen over the course of two weeks. I am leaning towards I would rather my sadness come all at once opposed to over a period of time.

The suspense is terrible!

I agree that I would rather know all at once for the same reason including being able to better plan for the hunt. Also if you only have 5 vacation days available to use it would be helpful to know which hunts you won so you could back out on the ones you don't want if you can't do all of them.

I did not draw for Alligator (at Daughtery) or for any of the Antelope hunts
But at least that news was offset with good news, this morning.
I have been granted a permit to archery hunt in Colorado with a crossbow. An accident and ensuing arthritis has kept me from using standard archery equipment for the last few years. The process of getting that exemption is tedious, but has finally paid off. STOKED!!!

just more loyalty points for me. Congrats to all those that drew gators and goats

So mine all say application received. Does that mean they still haven’t drawn for my categories?

That’s right, below all that it will have the deadlines for all of the hunts.

Only 10 more days until the next draw......................

Congratulations to all drawn for Alligator and Antelope plus JWM for crossbow. If presence points were gold, I would be a rich man.

I dont know if I can make it another 10 days. The big draws are in sept and oct so it is really 40 days!! aarrghhh!!

Ugh stupid mathing......

One more week to go for the next draw...............I got three in for the exotics.

Did my donating to the TPWD. Hope is strong!

I'm in for $97 dollars worth. First year I was picked for fairfield, second year for Colorado Bend. Then lost out last two years even though I picked three times the draws.

4 more days to go..............
