Since I got skunked in Nv I just put in with one point for the X6A zone and the X7 zones. Hope to draw and find a nice cross buck.

Thank you! I hate to give Ca any more money then I already do but I have the need to pull the trigger for myself this year.
I can certainly understand that. Last year I drew zero tags but I went to AZ on an archery hunt my brother had for bugling bulls and having those bulls bugling in your face at 20-30 yards is incredible.
Then later we hunted here in NV for my sons bull and was watching over his shoulder as he pulled the trigger on his bull.
It was almost as good as pulling the trigger myself, almost.

Hate to burst your bubble but with 1 point your only chance at drawing is being in the random draw that 10% of the tags go into. The lowest points that drew those zones last year were 3.5 and 4 points.

You could always pick up a D3-5 or D6 tag if you just want to get out and hunt deer.

I'm sure your rite but yes I do know that if I do t draw I can get a D tag.

I was told I should be able to draw with 1 point in the AO X6 zone but what someone says doesn't mean it will happen. I'll prob forget the deer and buy a bear tag if I don't draw the X6.

2015 Draw Statistics shows;

You needed at least 3.5 points to have a chance to draw an A11 tag (X6A Archery)
You needed at least 1.5 points to have a chance to draw an A12 tag (X6B archery)

If your just interested in burning your point and then getting out of the Cali game i would suggest an A1 tag (C Zone Archery Only), it's good for all the C zones. There's still plenty of deer in the Almanor, Butt lake, Chester area. App deadline for Cali is June 2nd......

Tahoe, Yosemite,
Anyone ever draw an x zone with no points in CA? Or pickup a leftover tag? I'm sure there is usally no leftover tags, but I'll lean on the experts.

Thanks

X10 usually has tags given out to 2nd choice applicants, and a few archery hunts in the xzones give out tags to 2nd and 3rd choice applicants. X9b archery(A17) had 300 tags last year and only 39 people applied for it as their first choice. So they may have leftover tags this year.
