What's the Next Draw?

[Zim]

LAST EDITED ON May-28-10 AT 12:51PM (MST)[p]Well since I struck out on Co deer & everything in NV, now I'm 0-fer-20 with 13 draws left. So between the states below, what do you think will be the next draw result out? I expect some of my dates are wrong.

Some of these state's dates are set is stone like ME & NH, but others are often out much earlier. Curious how much earlier NM & WY can be expected. I'd like to make plans, even if I don't draw. I think CO pronghorn may be out June 4?

This is the order I expect:

Colorado pronghorn 6/8
New Mexico elk/deer 6/9
Oregon everything 6/20
Maine moose 6/18
New Hampshire moose 6/19
Wyoming deer/pronghorn 6/30
Arizona deer/sheep 7/28

You forgot:

MT Moose / Sheep / Goat
ID elk / deer / Pronghorn
WA - all

I never expect WY to release deer / antelope much before the end of June.

NR Antelope and Deer results were posted ONLINE last year on JUNE 24th, 2009 which was a WEDNESDAY. In 2008 it was done on June 26th a Thursday.

So look around JUNE 23rd or 24th this year for the results being a Wed. or Thurs.

To answer your question, I bet CO antelope comes up next, they have been 1-2 weeks early on most, you might even get backdoor results on that next week...

Then NM...they say 6-9 post, might even be a day or two early.

I just changed WY deer and lope choices to the hunt service #1 picks..If I get in trouble with the warden for being gone too long, want it to be worth it

CO Antelope is the only thing left.
For me waiting on Arizona deer and sheep, Oregon and Wyoming deer and Antelope.
Good Luck

Having not drawn anything for so long, I have been kicking around the idea of adding Idaho this year......if I don't draw New Mexico. Idaho dealine is June 6. In the past has New Mexico posted 3 days before their advertised date?

Zim, Idaho is June 5 (I think).

You have to buy a license to apply, so if you don't intend to hunt their unless you draw you might as well give yourself good odds so you don't waste the license fee.

A recommendation from me (for what it's worth) is 52A Muzzleloader. It is a rut hunt the middle of November. Pray for early snow and it can be "fish in a barrel". No snow and you are in for a tough hunt, but odds last year were nearly 60% for NR.

It may be a good backup plan if you look like you will strike out everywhere else. Better than not hunting for sure.

june 5 is correct...and ask the people who drew 52a how good a hunt it was last year. My brother hunted it 3 years ago got a nice buck saw a great buck...offered help to someone who drew last year and they saw a 2 point forky and a few does...Wolves hit that area pretty bad last couple of years

has anyone seen my kittie

I had that unit last year and it was terrible. But 2 years ago, it was great. We hunted Nov. 10th in short-sleeve shirts last year; that is not good for that unit. It requires snow.

I would not make that unit my top choice, but like I said in my post, it is better than staying home.

PS. We saw wolves while there. They definitely do have a wolf problem.

 

[Huntnfever]

yeah, i may have steered you towards my brother 2 years ago cant remember. Even the meat hunt unit i go on and usually see at least a 2 point you had to work to see does, which hasnt been that bad since 1986 when if you saw a deer you were lucky. You definatly need the snow, but wolves dont help...

has anyone seen my kittie

 

[grizzly]

I think you did, and I appreciate it. His info helped a ton. We just couldn't find the deer. I have been back twice and killed coyotes, so I'm trying to do my part.

[Huntnfever]

your just lucky he was in a giving mood he doesnt give out info too much...i did my part on a yote, just not many havnt been able to get out much

has anyone seen my kittie

I guess NM draws are next...from their homepage

The deadline has passed to apply for deer, elk, antelope, bighorn sheep, barbary sheep, ibex and javelina hunts; draw results will be available online June 9 and by phone June 23.

So now I am 0-fer-23 with 10 draws left. Only a 20% chance of anything. CO & NM schedules played out as expected. Think Oregon will post any day now. Balance order:

Oregon everything 6/20
Maine moose 6/17
New Hampshire moose 6/18
Wyoming deer/pronghorn 6/30
Arizona deer/sheep 7/28

Looks like I will spending all my vacation days bowhunting here in Illinois.
