[notyalc]

Got a whitetail draw. I haven’t been successful since 2014 back before they had results online.It doesn’t say if I got my 1st or 2nd choice tho. I’m going to assume I got my first choice pick since it doesn’t say otherwise…..??

[Cabled]

[Cdog]

Moose, not bad considering I haven't applied for a few years

[twoSevenO]

Local moose again, 5 out of 6 years, can’t complain

what's your secret? First thought is draws no one else wants .... but i think that only applies to goats and not moose. lol!

[MRP]

Nothing for our group some from the island and some from the Okanagan altogether we’re averaging 10 years of no draws. I guess we should’ve invested the draw $$ in bitcoin...

[notyalc]

Click on the draw itself. It will say which zone


ahhh right, now I see it, thanks!

[RyoTHC]

Looks like I’m going sheep scouting everyday after salmon fishing this year.. two birds with one stone ^^

[campking]

Zippo for me

[Bullreaper]

Nothing. Makes it 23 years, still no moose. Oh well, lots of opportunities in BC, for now.(Not for long if NDP has there way). I don’t draw anything very often, but I’ll still take my chances in a lottery then go to a points system.

[Mulehahn]

Nothing for me again. 13 years now. Oh well. Congratulations to those that won.

[ACE]

Roosevelt elk . . . . unsuccessful.
Moose . . . . . . successful.

[dru88]

Nothing for me this year going on 6 years no LEH.

[marcus44]

Kept my streak alive, 25 years and counting without a draw. Son got a youth mule doe draw, daughter was unsuccessful

[Avalanche123]

Region 6 goat...finally! Definitely will be a late winter hunt.:)

[twoSevenO]

Looks like I’m going sheep scouting everyday after salmon fishing this year.. two birds with one stone ^^

You drew a spences bridge ram?????????

[ekul246]

Moose and antlerless mulie for me. 2nd ever moose draw and first antlerless.

[Spy]

Shared Moose hunt :-) Taking a good friend who is a new hunter and another good buddy who is a seasoned hunter 2 moose for the group... Super Pumped:-) Have not been moose hunting since 2012 when I called in a cranker estimated 1500Lbs on the hoof. 870lbs four quarters. Same area hoping for a déjà-view ;-). Oh and none of us are jabbed lol

[mooseknuckler]

[Citori54]

Shared moose for me:lol:

[sammer]

Nada again. Not sure why I eve bother.

[Ron.C]

Nil for me, but the 2 hunts I put in for (elk, moose) were higher odds and Ive won both these draws in the past. So no complaints. Maybe next year

[hawk-i]

got a shared moose in 6 and mountian goat in same :)

[RyoTHC]

You drew a spences bridge ram?????????

kamloops lake not Spence’s bridge

[moosinaround]

2 shared moose hunts! Been quite a few moons since my last moose draw! My son and dad got their draw on our door step. Mine and my buddies is a pretty good trek into the hills!! Moose hunting for any bull, is there anything better?? Moosin

[Brew]

kamloops lake not Spence’s bridge
Big congrats on your leh

[B-rad]

congrats buddy,,,,,,i didnt get any draws this year,,,,,but not too worried,,,,,i usually get my 2 whitetail and mulie buck every year anyways,,,,,,i only put in for mulie doe and shared moose this year,,,,,,RyoTHC

[twoSevenO]

kamloops lake not Spence’s bridge

oh, you lucky SOB!! Congrats. That should be a good one.

[Gr8 white hunter]

Nothing for me,but my son got a moose and Island Elk draw.

[Cain379]

Got our group moose draw for the local area so I'm happy.

[Rayne]

Doe and goat for me. Back to successful draws after a 1 year hiatus lol

[RyoTHC]

oh, you lucky SOB!! Congrats. That should be a good one.

3-29A Sept 15-30 is the exact draw.
time to quit mushroom picking and get scouting… September is going to come quick.

[caddisguy]

3-29A Sept 15-30 is the exact draw.

There must have been some kind of mix up. It appears you got my draw :D

Haha congrats man. Can't wait to see the thread and pics.

[whitespringer]

Nada for all of us..

[IronNoggin]

The usual... Nada

[ACE]

Nothing for me, but my son got a moose and Island Elk draw.

Where's the Roosevelt draw?
Guessing you'll be the guide and packer! :mrgreen::mrgreen:

[RackStar]

Moose out back and goat out west , going to be a busy year for me mixed in with my elk hunt. Might need another freezer.

[RyoTHC]

Moose out back and goat out west , going to be a busy year for me mixed in with my elk hunt. Might need another freezer.

good thing elk seems to be all but a sure thing for you most years lol

[RackStar]

Haha, this will be hunt #4

have come very very close every time, learnt lots along the way that’s all that matters for me, and some amazing experiences. FreeZers never empty in my house though. Only looking for 6pt bulls I won’t shoot a 3 pt or cow.

[tlinti]

finally got a shared Moose draw, 7-06/Bowron River. bringing my 13 year old out for his first moose camp. New area for all of us, if anyone has any wisdom to share, it would be greatly appreciated!

Good luck to everyone out there!

[Redthies]

They say there are “increased odds” for new hunters, or those that haven’t drawn recently. I call BULLSHIT on that. Both my apprentice and I started hunting 7 seasons ago, both have put in for multiple “easy to win” draws every year. Both of us have never drawn a single damn thing. It’s a good thing I identify as FN so I can hunt whatever I want “ceremonially” with my AR.

[bighornbob]

3-29A Sept 15-30 is the exact draw.
time to quit mushroom picking and get scouting… September is going to come quick.

If you need a hand let me know.

BHB

[4 point]

Zippo for me and everyone I know that entered. Nothing for like 110 years! Heck I am getting old! How does one get 5 moose draws out of 6 years?

[Ron k]

Just wondering what Zone? I also got a Rosie tag for Zone Q

[decker9]

what's your secret? First thought is draws no one else wants .... but i think that only applies to goats and not moose. lol!

With the added tags this year and the posted odds of last year, I think lots didn’t realize maybe. It’s been a hay day, lots of locals pulled moose draws this year. With the low tags the past 4-5 years, it’s liable to be a good season.

[NeilG]

4-23B Ram. In utter shock.

[Retiredguy]

As usual I didn't draw a thing...but my wife managed to draw early season moose. Better than nothing. She is happy as she prefers to hunt while the weather is still decent. LOL :)

[browningboy]

Zilch for me.... Congrats to those who did!

[Aaron600]

My buddy and I got a shared Moose draw in 8-5. He won't be able to hunt until the 3rd week of October. I hear hunting around Murphy Lakes is the spot to look around that time of year. Anyone have some tips or other spots around the area to focus on?

[srupp]

WOW.the offer by BHB for info etc is very generous from experienced knowledgable sheep expert.
impressed but not surprised by generous offer .
anyone else raw region 5 moose draws any info I can share to help I will.
congrads to all
steven

[tinhorse]

Got my region 5 moose, 3rd time in last 8 years. Will be hitting up the same spots we were successful the last 2 times. Good luck everyone

[BigSlapper]

After many years ... MANY years ... finally drew a Rosie tag (Sechelt / 2-05 K). I now know where I'm spending my summer ...

[blackford]

I got nothing.... actually same for everyone in the group... having said that, we all put draws in for easy access areas- after all gas aint cheap

[Sharpish]

After many years ... MANY years ... finally drew a Rosie tag (Sechelt / 2-05 K). I now know where I'm spending my summer ...

Hey there Neighbor. I drew 2-05I

[truenorthhunting]

I managed to land a Caribou LEH in Spatsizi! It'll be my first time hunting in Region 6 - does anyone know if Region 6-20 Zone A is only accessible by Fly-in? Or is it possible to drive up to Iskut with my trailer and pack in from there for a week?

[MZac]

Antlerless Mule deer in region 8 for me. I'm thrilled about it.

[Jereky]

Lucky!!! That’s a once in a lifetime tag RyoTHC. Happy scouting. Managed a cow elk and shared moose. Not bad for being shut out close to 30 years

[DJK]

I zero'd in my first LEH draw season. Congrats and good luck to those who were successful!

[Cain379]

Moose sept. 25th - oct 19th in 6-9 for me.

[nelsonob1]

3 billies for me and 2 sons. what odds - three in one family

[RyoTHC]

Can’t wait to see some of the stomper Rosie’s this year.. the one I saw on the highway coming through chilliwack last year in someone’s truck was unbelievable

[JAYDEE]

Moose for me in 7-49. My back yard.

[NeilG]

Oh wow, from 4-23B or were you replying to somebody else?

[bc7mm]

Daughter and wife got a bull draw near PG. last year was a bull draw for me after 14 year’s, so 13 to go I expect.

[interior]

Anyone have an idea on when the new regs will release now that the leh is done?

[Peter Pepper]

Roosevelt for me! Finally! I see lot’s when black tail hunting. Can’t quite believe my good fortune.

[Jrax]

moose 6-09 rut draw

[Forks]

Bull moose 806!

[338edgehunter]

I got 7-31 mountain goat!!!!!!!! Hell yeah if any 1 else has a 731 goat send me a pm maybe we can both roll in and get 1 I got 3 spots in mind

[HappyJack]

Zippo for me and everyone I know that entered. Nothing for like 110 years! Heck I am getting old! How does one get 5 moose draws out of 6 years?

That's the 10 million dollar question, it should be practically impossible. And then there is the guy that has gone 25 years with no moose leh, our system sucks.

As usually we got not a thing, not a whiff of an leh draw win.

[Ron.C]

Roosevelt for me! Finally! I see lot’s when black tail hunting. Can’t quite believe my good fortune.

I won an island archery elk draw a few years ago in my home town and tagged the bull in my avatar. Felt amazing to finally be able to scout for and hunt the elk I've watched for better than a dozen years.

congrats and enjoy your hunt!

[Cody66]

I didnt get any, neither did most people I know

[Arctic Lake]

Nothing for me or my buddy , dissapointed ! Oh well life goes on !
Arctic Lake

[S.W.A.T.]

I managed to land a Caribou LEH in Spatsizi! It'll be my first time hunting in Region 6 - does anyone know if Region 6-20 Zone A is only accessible by Fly-in? Or is it possible to drive up to Iskut with my trailer and pack in from there for a week?

Curious why you didn't check into before putting in for the draw?

[Frank grimes]

Nothin for me.
no moose again, and input in for region 4 sheep. Last year hunting mulies, I spied up some rams. Was hoping to go after them this year but leh stopped that.
il still keep an eye out for them, maybe see if I can get a good pic of a big horn. Might be all I can do now.

[Bigdoggdon]

I got Peace antlerless Elk Dec-Feb

No moose, Deer mule doe, no WT doe

[wideopenthrottle]

been about 5 years since our group last had an leh..I also got a wt doe tag in the same area as we got the moose draw...saweeeet

[HarryToolips]

Got my first LEH moose tag....

BTW if we all play ignorant to politics & the current situation in our society like the OP of this thread, we eventually will lose all our hunting rights, along with the many other rights and freedoms that the govt is attempting to strip away from us...

[blackhawk19]

7 years no moose no elk for our group . Buddies group 5th year in a row successful moose draws

[RyoTHC]

Got my first LEH moose tag....

lmao, shit I under estimated how dumb some people were..

10k posts though.. hmm

apparently wanting a hunting specific forum to cater to hunting is putting my head in the sand.. and no The abortion ban doesn’t effect hunting.

go outside.

[Ron.C]

RyoTHC,
Congrats on the sheep tag. Looking forward to hearing about your hunt.

[decker9]

what's your secret? First thought is draws no one else wants .... but i think that only applies to goats and not moose. lol!

My math is off, 7 years in a row is the streak.

[mikeman20]

Drew a bull moose in a shared hunt with my buddy, going to be fun.

[HarryToolips]

lmao, shit I under estimated how dumb some people were..

Please elaborate on how resisting the govt on stripping us from our rights & freedoms is stupid..

I play in the outdoors on a regular basis, lol nice try though..

Good luck to all who drew tags...

[sparkes3]

Group moose for 4 06 October 15 -November 15 which is awesome because we get our new house in wynndel July 1 , scouting starts july2 .(wife’s gonna flip haha)

Just add him to your ignore list and move on :)
life is easier that way.

[The Hermit]

Nothing for me or my group moose again this year... last moose was 2016. Congrats to all the lucky boys and girls!!

[Nimrod]

My math is off, 7 years in a row is the streak.
Streak... how does 36 years with no Moose draw sound.
WTF happened to reduced odds, urban myth.

[HarryToolips]

Just add him to your ignore list and move on :)

If everyone plays ignorant like you and him, then eventually the only ppl in this country with hunting threads will be the First Nation's..

[eatram]

Streak... how does 36 years with no Moose draw sound.

Streak 2.0 --> 30+ years without the Kamloops sheep tag. Rigged!

[Cboyd]

My old man put in for island elk for over forty years and no luck and now he never will. I'm starting to feel like it's rigged to.

[RyoTHC]

My old man put in for island elk for over forty years and no luck and now he never will. I'm starting to feel like it's rigged to.


So who did we bribe and how much?

the problem with random is it’s random, some people can get multiple draws some people can never get draws..
My hunting group consists of 3 people, we started hunting in 2017 and we have got 2 moose draws, three doe draws, a turkey draw and the Kamloops lake ram draw.. am I elated? Absolutely, but I can see how someone that applies for 30 years is upset someone else gets it on their first shot.. but, grab some lotto numbers this week could be your win!

[decker9]

Streak... how does 36 years with no Moose draw sound.
WTF happened to reduced odds, urban myth.

I honestly don’t understand it. With a group of 4, do all 4 get reduced odds after drawing a leh? Or just the individual that got drawn?

this years odds were 4:4-1, with a group of 4, is seems like a given doesn’t it?

talking to quite a few folks, lots didn’t realize all the tags added locally here this year, I think it was a win win for the ones who did notice it and the high published odds from the year prior.

The number of tags is pretty mind blowing. One area went from 3 to 56 (tiny area), the area we drew went from 3 tags to 150+.

[digger dogger]

I got moose last year and moose again in the same region this year.

[.330 Dakota]

​14 applications and zippo

[Ron.C]

My old man put in for island elk for over forty years and no luck and now he never will. I'm starting to feel like it's rigged to.

Luck of the draw. My buddy has been drawn for 2 island elk draws (in different areas) and I was drawn once in a 5 year span.

I know 2 others who have been drawn twice, both in a highly coveted archery area.

In the past 12 years i've got 4 goat leh's, 1 griz, 1 moose, 1 island elk.

Goat leh's were almost gimme odds, all others were better than 20:1.

Do I think its rigged? No because I don't know why I or any of lucky folks I know would be chosen over anyone else. All average joe's that dont really know anyone who would influence this.

Luck of the draw...;-)

[HappyJack]

My old man put in for island elk for over forty years and no luck and now he never will. I'm starting to feel like it's rigged to.

There is definitely something wrong when some fellows never get a draw and others can win 5 or 7 years in a row [moose], especially with the
BS that there is such a thing as 'reduced odds'. Some of those coveted draws should be a once in a lifetime to spread the wealth around a bit. I feel bad for people that continually get NIL, at least I live where my opportunities are still there even when I don't get an leh.

[CR CRUISER]

Zip for me and my hunting partner. Forty years of blanks for him. Now my daughter on the other hand, 2 island elk and 2 5-1 moose in the past 5 years.

[abbyfireguy]

Nothing again!
I guess this means more fishing in the fall.

[Rampager]

This thread makes me wonder if most folks don't understand the concept of odds.

If a group of 4 puts in for a 1:2 odds moose draw, say in a remote spot of nothern BC, the odds are very good they get drawn (approx 94% chance)

If a group of 4 puts in for a 1:50+ odds moose draw closer to the lower mainland it is likely they'll go a decade without getting drawn (approx 8% chance)

These things are not the same, and I bet those whining that they haven't gotten a draw in so many years are in the latter group and are crying that it's "unfair".

Island elk is the other one.. the average rifle bull draw odds are approx. 1:100. That means you are not likely to get drawn in your lifetime assuming you put in every year from ages 20-80. So yes, never getting an island elk draw IS the expected outcome.

But I guess it's easier to blame the government rather than apply high school level math and be accountable for your own actions.

Well said. Odd is just a number representing probability of a draw; though my family had never drew anything other than 4 doe since 2010, considering doe draw odd is around 20:1 (translate to 1 in 20 year per hunter, 1 per 20 hunter, or 5% probability), we are already placed on the better side of the luck spectrum.

Problem is, Highschool math is beyond a lot of people!

[igojuone]

First time successful for me, got a Cow/calf moose draw outside Revelstoke, 4-38 Zone D and a mule Antlerless in region 3. Anyone got advice on 4-38, never been up there to hunt. Antlerless Mule shouldn't be an issue.

[Bullreaper]

Just curious. Not that I know many people, but everyone I’ve heard of getting drawn for moose in 7B, lives in that area. Any southerners get a 7B moose draw?

[twoSevenO]

Just curious. Not that I know many people, but everyone I’ve heard of getting drawn for moose in 7B, lives in that area. Any southerners get a 7B moose draw?


How many southerners even applied? Lol with these gas prices it wouldn't surprise me if most decided to apply to reg 3 or 5 instead.

I know I did :)

[bullish]

Anyone know if this years odds are available anywhere. Just curious as I put in for some low odds area and got zip, but would be nice to know the stats.
thanks

[Waynewjw]

I believe the stats are listed alongside the area you specify when you fill in for your LEH hunt. Some are low, others way up there. I was successful with 16:1 odds. Same area last draw for 3 or 4 of us that go individual hunt was 7 years ago.

[Kevin32]

Just curious. Not that I know many people, but everyone I’ve heard of getting drawn for moose in 7B, lives in that area. Any southerners get a 7B moose draw?

No point in applying for it. Tripalm, 10 point, and a 15 hour drive? Can apply for an any bull LEH within a 5 hour drive. So rightfully so the 7B moose draws should go to those who live there. Why they made it more restrictive than easier access areas is beyond me. As if they wanna shut down hunting.

[HappyJack]

Well said. Odd is just a number representing probability of a draw; though my family had never drew anything other than 4 doe since 2010, considering doe draw odd is around 20:1 (translate to 1 in 20 year per hunter, 1 per 20 hunter, or 5% probability), we are already placed on the better side of the luck spectrum.

There is no probability in BCs draw system, it's either luck of the draw, superior draw selection, or rigged.

When the system has 'reduced odds' for people that have won an leh, how do you explain them winning the same species, in the same MU multiple years in a row? I personally know people who have done this 4 out of 5 consecutive seasons, and recently read someone claiming 7 successive years luck.

Clearly the 'reduced odds' permits some lucky individuals to continually end up at the front of the line?
