Sat down and spent an hour or so looking at hunts, scheduled dates, and any conflicts with our Western hunts. There are a few that would be fun new ones for us, so put in for those. The late season exotic ones look like fun too.

Just made my yearly donation. With multiple categories with double digit points, my fingers are crossed to get drawn for something.

Anything is possible. After all I did draw powderhorn. With 19683 loyalty points I think it was. peep
So I guess I will only have 2 points cubed in either sex deer. At least I don't have to worry about wasting 27 years of points on a less popular draw anymore and can apply for any and all in that category now.

I would like to know the true odds on drawing individual hunts as in exactly the total number of combined cubed points is for each hunt, not the number of people who applied. The total point count has to be massive for some of the more primo hunt draws like the chap and powderhorn.


Sniper - I agree. It would be extremely helpful if TPWD provided the number of applicants and their points. Montana squares points and they give you the breakdown of the applicants who applied by point. This is very helpful in determining the true odds of drawing a given hunt. With TPWD cubing points the total number of applicants is not really representative of the odds of drawing. It would probably be somewhat shocking to see just how long the odds are if you have low points some categories such as exotic.



Couldn't agree more! I feel like the applicants from last year is just useless info on some of the draws.

And... Is that individual applicants or is it applications? Does each person on a card count as an applicant or is it each card? The verbage is kind vague.


If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready!

If they posted the real odds, nobody would apply unless they already have a ton of points.

All they need todo is limit it to two entries per species and it would weed out point creep pretty quickly


Donate to TX Youth hunting program.... better to donate then to waste it in taxes

I know this is probably an unpopular opinion with some on here, but I wish they would go back to the way it used to be and only allow one entry per hunt category. I don't see it going back that way, since I know that TPWD more than doubled their revenue on drawn hunts when they started allowing multiple entries per category.

It a waste of time and money as far as I’m concerned. Entered a few times over the years, even as recently as last year. Never was successful.

With high fuel prices, and inflation increases on everything else, those antlerless "meat" hunts should start having better odds for local residents close to the WMA's.

You are right, there is no success in Texas draw hunts. People should stop applying. I will send you photos when I get back.

With the Medical Recovery Plans finally underway to recover from an advanced case of the Shingles, with all that goes with everything involved with multiple Dr's & Specialty Staff. So....I'll probably sit out investing in any of 2022's TPW's Drawings. 'cause it'll take another 4-6+ months or more to recover back to just " low average" which is where I was health wise this time a year ago.

I can finally be trusted to drive by myself again but do anything that requires any exertion or walking over 50 - 100 yards is totally out of question with all the blood flow blockage's in my swollen lower limbs, despite the daily dosage of the teeny tiny Xarelto pills daily. The 3 months of weekly PT sessions are finally beginning to show a little progress, with many miles to go before I can depend on myself to be able to do anything outside alone and not take another major fall , so I just & watch TV...and take out the trash every Wednesday.

The Better Half just finished watching Dallas's Channel 8's Weather Guesser Pete Something declare that the month of August will be 100*'s + everday, with little or no chance of rain....Yea!!! I won't have to mow the yard in August either....but I can't drive the new Hq-Varna Zero turn any way. OTOH I guess I could could put in for some January/February hunts I guess.

LOLOLOL....I just got tears of laughter in my eyes !!!! The Better Half just handed me her toy telly phone, and showed me "John Wayne's 5 Rules for Life" ya'll ...gotta read 'em personally 'cause JP would probably ban me for posting 'em....

.....and GET A SHINGLES SHOT ....
