17% is a lot better than odds for the ones without points! I just retired so I'll have lots of scouting time if I can get Powerball lucky.I just did the same calculation, but with 30 points (901 chances), 188 tags and 970,000 total draw numbers. That is 17.4% overall. Odds will vary a lot more for residents due to picking higher or lower demand hunts for lower choices. Seems like you should draw in the not too distant future..... Good luck!
Man, you're going to be busy!AwardedChoice 1: Hunter Choice Number 1022 - Elk, Non-Resident, Archery, 161 - 164, 171 - 173, Antlered September 17 - September 30

15Congrats! How many points did you have?
I’ve drawn multiple cow tags with never over 2 points.. rifle tags. Depends where you’re looking I guessIs 6 points enough to draw any NR rifle antlerless elk tags? Never researched it but have been putting in lately. Just curious....
Boys drew last year with 4 in area 6. Also finally pulled a deer tag with 16 points today. Happy camperIs 6 points enough to draw any NR rifle antlerless elk tags? Never researched it but have been putting in lately. Just curious....
only two sheep tags? sheesh.Depredation Bull and Area 7 Muzzleloader Deer for me. Overall, my family drew 2 Dep Bull, 7-area 7 deer tags, 1 Buck Antelope, 2-late Cow, 1 Spike, 1 Desert Bighorn and 1 California Bighorn sheep tags. That’s between 7 of us.
Blown away. My nephew drew the Cali and pretty sure he had low points. My sister in law drew the Desert with 15 in the same unit my Dad had 2 years ago which was the first sheep hunt any of us had ever been on. She also drew the same Dep tag as me which is 2 Dep tags in a row for her.only two sheep tags? sheesh.
LOL
Congrats on your families’ tags..that the thing, you didn’t draw them, they did. I find it funny how people claim the draws “in the group”..but you didn’t draw it. Just my opinionBlown away.

Just in the past few years, I was able to introduce my nephew to hunting & he’s ALL in now. Since then, his best friend has joined us. (He’s like a nephew to me) Unfortunately none of us drew in NV or UT this year. I’m grateful to share in their hunting experiences & wish I had more participation from my family.Well, if you knew how to follow along, you would see that I, myself, drew 2 of those said tags. We hunt together, as a family no matter who draws what tag. That’s my favorite part of hunting is sharing it with the people I care about. I feel bad for those of you that don’t have that or don’t understand that. If you don’t have anything better to write on somebody else’s post then I really feel bad for you. Just my opinion.
In this age of ever worsening odds to draw good/great/rare tags, only an idiot would not relish and celebrate family/friend draw success and hunts and hope to participate in same of feasible. The alternative is a LOT less fun with time spent on more pedestrian hunts and tags.Well, if you knew how to follow along, you would see that I, myself, drew 2 of those said tags.

Well said. To me family hunting is for me the most important event being out in the outdoors. My problem is both my boys starting families and having limited time to go with pops but I understand. Not sure if they’ll be able to go with me in September but will figure it out!Well, if you knew how to follow along, you would see that I, myself, drew 2 of those said tags.

Your boys need to be bringing you on THEIR hunts!Well said. To me family hunting is for me the most important event being out in the outdoors.

I know what you mean but my boys are in a era now that drawing tags are almost next to impossible. Back in the day you could go to Colorado and get your deer tags over the counter the night before. But it’s all changed and it’s actually so easy to put in that’s why there’s record applications year after year.Your boys need to be bringing you on THEIR hunts!
No antlerless elk tag for me with 6 NR points. I drew zilch. Bummed.Boys drew last year with 4 in area 6. Also finally pulled a deer tag with 16 points today. Happy camper
Jeeze leave some tags for the rest of us haha congratulationsDepredation Bull and Area 7 Muzzleloader Deer for me. Overall, my family drew 2 Dep Bull, 7-area 7 deer tags, 1 Buck Antelope, 2-late Cow, 1 Spike, 1 Desert Bighorn and 1 California Bighorn sheep tags. That’s between 7 of us.
That is freakin’ awesome! Your family will have a hell of a season this year. Very cool! Best of luck to all of you. Sounds like you are going to have an expensive taxidermy bill by the end of the season.Sorry I forgot to post that my wife drew a Desert sheep and my son drew the California sheep tag this year hopefully I have a low number next year!!
