Okay, I know I have posted a few that makes me sound a bit bitter of the leh.
Here's a good one just told to me by a reliable source who will remain un-named:
Tells me about a hunter he knows (sure hope he isn't an HBC member!), who has in the past 5 years, won the Sechelt Elk hunt "4 times"!!!
Now, he won twice in one of the zones (in a row from what I understand)
And then applied for another zone of the Sechelt elk.
Won again! last year I believe.
Well, you guessed it, he just won again.
Supposedly even his hunting partners do not know! as of yet anyways!
Talk about "Horse shoes"!!
hmmmmm.
And I fully trust from who I got this info.
The winners get told what the odds were
I wouldn't say we are lucky, but I would say we are smart. We have friends that are hunters but have careers like a teacher where they probably won't come (always invited). So we have 6 hunters and between those 6 hunters we have enough other people that we are able to put in 3 full shared hunt groups. So we have 12 chances to hit a 25:1 odd hunt every year (reduced odds not included). putting in as a single in a 25:1, well it just doesn't make sense...

^^^^all good and understood.
The moose leh we had 3 guys put in for the same areas and nada.
(which last season was 20:1, 1st and 2nd, but because we didn't win, we have no idea what the odds were til "next season, unless I call which I wont)
Same for another 3 putting in for MD Doe's (newbies or wanting to fill the freezer), again nada.
So, it's not for a lack of trying over the pat few years.
Anyways, nothing I can do about it.
Just interesting about the hunter and the elk on Sechelt and getting draws 4 out of 5 years!
How is the lottery system auditted?
it started around 16 then it went up 29 then 35 but I am thinking with the odds going down 50 percent on a successful one i would be next in line but again this year a buddy of mine got drawn again in a group hunt and he had the tag three times already like I said no sweat just like the area and i hunt there all the time oh well next year again will try another group hunt kept my fingers cross come on 6/49 if it comes all the mooses in the world will not be safe and Ron.C i ll buy you a couple of hunts too Buono Fortuna

Been putting in for bison since 1995 and no luck... one day
I like drinking beer and whiskey, shooting guns, jetboating, love a nice rack and a tight line, I am simply a sophisticated redneck...
