Well looks like the draws are over :(

So does everyone agree if your card hasn't gotten hit yet, then you didn't draw? Or is there still a chance?
I think it's done. I've been tracking this for a few years, and usually the credit cards are hit pretty close to each other. I think it gets drug out a bit, because some guys have credit cards that don't post pending charges for a few days.

One cool thing though is there is always the chance someone will turn a tag back in. That happened to a friend of mine a couple years ago in Nevada and he ended up having a nice mule deer hunt.

In regard to the backdoor of seeing your points, I think it takes a while to update the 90,000-100,000 applicants but then I don't know how the system works so maybe it is faster than I think I just think that might be the reason they wait until the 31st so they can have it all completed. They usually send the e-mails out around the 25th, so I would think the draw is over, but since it is the holiday weekend I wouldn't expect to see anything until the 28th.

I wasn't pulling your chain about seeing my updated points. I had 1 going in to the draw in all 8 categories that I applied for (Gen deer, LE deer, LE elk, bison, mt goat, moose, desert sheep and rocky mt sheep). I checked the results on UDOW Wednesday about 12:30am central time and I had 2 points in every category. They locked it down again by Wednesday morning and I couldn't see my points anymore. I don't think they would have updated only certain peoples points in 8 different categories without the draws being over.

I'm going to say there's still hope that I drew a Henries tag
Good luck with that! How many points did you have going in? I didn't even draw a gen deer tag that I had a 74% chance based on last years applications. That was going to be my guaranteed hunt with anything else a bonus.

Alabama, you had one general buck deer point and still didn't draw?? Bummer. You must have put in for rifle.

I'm sure it will take a few years for us to get accurate draw odds with Utah's new unit split .

Yeah I only hunt out west with a rifle. I guess I'm too ugly to hunt with a bow. When I'm rifle hunting the deer look at me suspiciously when I'm 200 yards away like "He might be ugly" but when I get in that bow zone of less than 50, they take one look at my mug and run for the next county! :p
