If an area has no tags available in the random or random special draw last year but this year there are more tags for that area. will I be able to see if any tags area available in those draws before I apply this year?

Thank You.

The correct answer is “maybe”.
You can calculate the regular/special splits, with rounding, and see if a license should be available but you can’t see if residents undersubscribe, which would add licenses, or if nr landowners apply, which would reduce licenses.

Thanks

I can see from the stats that some people have applied for tags in the random draw when none were available. I don't want to be one of them.

The first random tag (when tags are added) tends to be in the Regular Draw. That's the way I have played it in the past. Unfortunately the Regular tends to catch a high percentage of the guys that aren't tracking these types of things.

Ya, with only two antelope points I'm trying to out smart myself in the draw and it looks like I'm doing a great job at it so far. :confused:
