I have been applying in the special pool for long shots pretty much every year. :)

My son should have pretty good odds, we are hoping for a tag for him and hopefully his first bull.

I hope we see some good tags drawn on the forum!

Dang, somebody has some awesome notes!

Do any of you guys know if anybody drew the general tag as a 3rd choice last year in the special draw? We threw that on our app this year at the last minute. Apparently they do another draw after the regular draw or something and give out a few more tags to meet a NR quota or something like that? I know this has been mentioned somewhere on here but I never really understood it.

Good luck! Be a points year for me and my family on Elk. I'm watching the winter in the Red Desert to see if burning max Antelope points will make sense this year. Glad I have 3 1/2+ months to watch.

Yes, everyone that applied for a general tag in the special draw last year drew a tag. Including 2nd and 3rd choice. Not sure that will happen again this year though as that draw has seen an increase of about 300 applicants each year over the passed few years. Hope I'm wrong though, I applied 2nd choice.

How has the winter been in western Wyoming? Expecting to draw general tag with my father for unit 102.

http://water.weather.gov/precip/ This is the link I use, generally the 90 - 180 day views. It appears OK, but not wet, but it is a desert. What does it average 6-8" a year? Much can come in Spring/Summer rains. Antelope horn growth is different, so early spring into summer will probably be what you want to watch.

My brother and I put in for a unit with just enough points based on last years data. Praying that there will not be any point creep this year. The suspense is killing me.

There will be creep....all the legislative issues that came up this off season will get people off the fence...
