    Re: Leh

    I think people get confused with how the odds work. In my opinion anything over 4:1 odds is not a good chance, even then...

    I'll keep putting in though. The first 12 years of putting in I didn't get a single draw and then the last 4 I've got a sheep, group moose, and a Rosie and made them all count.

    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.
    my tag last year was the Oct -Nov tag. So, the 2 guys that drew the Sept-Oct tag had a crack before me, as did a GO client and FN's. A couple of the good bulls I had pics of hit the ground before my draw, but that's the way it goes

    A couple landowners I spoke to stopped letting FN hunt because all the did was target big bulls and no longer let them back. And one would only let FN hunt because of a negative experience with an LEH hunter. Matter of fact, most landowners I spoke to wanted cows shot but understood why a guy that only ever gets this tag once wants a bull.

    In regards to the LEH guys, All the local landowners I spoke to in my area gave the opportunity to the first LEH holder to contact them. So if you are going to put in for one of these hunts and want first crack at a specific private property, get your contact list together before the draw and start making phone calls or knocking on doors as quick as you can after you get drawn. good luck

    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.
    Like you said, it’s a fun adventure either way. On the other side of the coin, years ago a friend of mine drew island elk in the archery season. He’d never shot a bow before. He practiced every night or two all summer, went over to the island with a friend, and dropped a nice bull early on day one. Sometimes it works out...

    Me, I’ve never got a single thing, and I usually only enter “easy” odds draws. I’ll probably put in for a thing or two, but I won’t get my hopes up...

    This is a good example of how it CAN work out. You probably wouldn’t have had the same success on those hunts if you got the draws in your first four years!
