Well, another year in, and nothing out. I have ten points built up for my cow tag, and have yet to get drawn. Oh how I hate this "new and improved" weighted drawing for special cow/doe tags. Think back not too many years ago, you had a one in five chance of being drawn, and you wouldn't apply each year, cause, someone at camp would get a cow tag now and then, no big deal.
Now, we are all getting worried about keeping up with the "Jones's". If you fail to apply for any given year, a gazillion guys around the state will be ahead of you in line now...you have lost your place. I never used to worry. Now is a different time. We do not want to be so far back in line, that we will never get drawn for a special hunt. Heck, wildlife has figured this out so well that they have even devised a method for you to apply and gain a point, even if you do not intend to hunt for that given year. What an incredible crock of schlittt! Buy a chance at nothing.
I liked the good ol' days of years past. No urgency about it. How about you? How many points do you have built up? Let me know...
