First time in many years I,m not going to bother. It is a scam.

Tell me more about this scam

Tell me more about this scam

The scam is I never get a draw

[Ron.C]

Perfect. The more people that think it's a scam and give up make my odds better.

I get lots of tags. No scam here. Oh ya that’s because I apply to tags that are relatively easy to win. And don’t complain when I don’t win that 50/60/60:1 odd hunt. That’s how it works it may take 1000 years of applying and you may just never win.

Fortunatly we we have some serious GOS so ya all good here.

I don’t think I will put in this year.. No sense since I am hoping to move from the north to the south of the province. Good luck to those who apply.

I'll continue my donations....LOL...

I pulled a once in a lifetime Rosie draw last year, did 2 scouting trips, a hundred hours of research, found 5-6 herds with wall hanger bulls ... then the hunt came, spent 12 days in the bush, dawn to dusk, fate and conditions conspired against me, didn't see a single bull!

Oh well... I almost wish I didn't get the draw to begin with ... then again it was a fun endeavor, just stings that I will never get the chance again.

I have to ask about these Island Rosie draws.
IS there any allocation of these draws given to any GO's over there?
Also, do the FN get some in many of those draw areas as well??

Just asking as I helped my friend with cameras and scouting for his Rosie draw here.
We found a cranker, 9x8, with many photos etc.
But we soon realized that the FN could go in sooner then my buddy was allowed to.
And yup, a week before he could go, bull was down.

I bring it up because I know of another member who had a Rosie draw on the island.
Had a beauty bull picked out, as well as a secondary.
When the hunt came, well nothing to be found??
Was told FN got to it first, and again, before he was allowed to go.
Just wonder how much that is playing a role.
Also wonder why they get to go in sooner, especially on a species that isn't traditional to some areas and was a transplant,
and is LEH to begin with.

Seems some "stakeholders" have way more privileges...or should I say, rights.

The scam is I never get a draw

Have to ask, what draws are you entering, and what are the odds?
2:1, you should see results over a few years.
500:1, well good luck.
I keep entering those hunts of a lifetime as well, with strong competition, and doubt I will ever win.
I suspect I need a "few lifetimes" to win one.

89:1 draw for island rosies seems like it will take a lifetime to get lol...26:1 for a draw doesn't seem horrible, but does that also sound like a lifetime draw to you guys? I was also thinking of Bison which ranges from 30:1 to 187:1; figured I will try every year and one day get lucky and make that my main hunt for the year over anything else. I don't really have any 2:1 odd hunts that I am targeting...so I assume I am GOS for the most part haha
