This is my 4th year for putting in for the LEH draw and last year I was lucky to get our group moose hunt with two tags allocated and a whitetail doe draw. Luckily, we harvested a huge moose but I wasn’t able to go for my whitetail draw for personal reasons. My friend though has horse shoes:
2020 - moose group and EK goat
2019 - Bison shared
2018- pemberton mule doe
2017 - island Rosie elk
on and on
he gets at least one draw every year! Lucky dog
I'm unsure what the problem is then? You only want to hunt sheep in a specific wmu rather then one that has OTC tags? Not trying to come across as a peckerhead but maybe you should read your post a page back. I don't know how to quote specific sentences but it is the 2nd paragraph last 2 sentences. Seems contradictory to me.
Yes there is some long waits for some tags. After 10 years I finally drew a speed goat tag. Wait 10 years for a 5 day hunt to get it done in a day. I'm thankful I got the opportunity whereas in a lottery system it might've never happened.
Yep I liken it to waiting in line at Walmart. You know you're gonna get there just a matter of time as to when. The only change our system required is proof of residency should be stricter. I think this might reduce draw wait times. Probably not substantial but who knows.
I would think stricter proof of residency would considerably cut down on the amount of people hunting in my region. Proof of completing some form of hunter training course instead of just ticking a box saying you held a licence in another province would cut down on a lot of people too.
YOu think it would be different with points? On vancouver island the lowest odds for a bull draw that I can see are 31 to 1. That means if you started now, you would have to put in for 31 years to get the draw with a points system. Most likely if this were in alberta it would be a true draw anyway. I do hope you put in again this year. It's your turn!
