muley224 Report post Posted March 4, 2019 I have 24 BP's. Cant draw a goat tag to save my life. I just want 1 in my life. My brother drew last year with 23 an turned in the tag due to health reasons. He Drew again this year ! Just too many applicants and very limited # of tags. Congrats to all those who drew. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuntHarder Report post Posted March 5, 2019 1 hour ago, GreyGhost85 said: Sorry guys, someone’s gotta say it. Rifle antelope needs to go to OIL or at minimum a 5-10 year sit out on the draw. I wouldn’t mind seeing bull tags go to a 3-5 year sit out either. Says that guy with bad luck putting in for premium hunts. Completely disagree. Our draw system is one of the better ones out there and I really see no reason to change it. Having a chance to draw EVERY year is what keeps people coming back. If I had to wait a guaranteed minimum of 10 years for another chance to draw I would probably lose my want to hunt antelope all together in this state. Is it fair for everyone? YES! Are some guys luckier than others? Absolutely. Some guys also put in for hunts that they know they have a better shot of drawing as well. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaton Report post Posted March 5, 2019 23 points for me. No hit. My buddy at work drew 19a general with 8 points and my son drew unit 9 2 years ago with only a hunters safety point. I've been on 5 az goat hunts with other people just not my own. It will happen one of these years! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RimCountry350 Report post Posted March 5, 2019 RTaylor...how many BP do you have? Last year numbers shows you probably in the 15+ you've got good %. The max points last year was 27...I hope it doesn't take me that long to draw LOL! I went in all in on 5a (7 tags) with 15 BP for antelope and nothing for me...only crickets! A guy I work with in the cubical next to me drew 1 of the 7 5a tags with 11 BP...that was depressing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillyphan Report post Posted March 5, 2019 I'll make you all sick. My 13 year old son drew a tag last year with 2 points. My wife had 16 points and wanted to strangle him. I like the draw system though because everyone has a chance every year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RimCountry350 Report post Posted March 5, 2019 Wow!! Here is the REAL depressing part...he drew the same tag last year but had to surrender it because of a conflict...2 years in a row...I need to get in touch with whomever he knows 😛 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freaking antelope tags , at least rifle, are getting like sheep tags.... I drew in 2014, I will provide GF with my $13 app fee every year from now on in life with the knowledge it was most likely my last. Plus a decrease in tag #'s this year isnt helping. And yes I know that was due to zero fawn recruitment in numerous areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
