Put my applications in again this year. Curious to hear if any of you guys have ever drawn these tags...

I've been entering for awhile, probably about the last 5 years. I've never been drawn, and don't know anyone that has. I still have my fingers crossed for this year...

Been putting in since the first year with no luck yet. I really wish they used some type of point system rather a random draw.

Put in every year and have not been drawn. Haven't checked to see when the results come out this year.
I remember reading several years ago in this forum where someone posted about their hunt. Can't remember who it was...

I've put in every year except one. I have drawn twice, cow rifle, and cow archery.

Made my donation as well. Got some sort of raffle tickets for a bull tag from the Kentucky Fish & Wildlife Federation. Might as give it a go...

Wish me first year luck. Hell, last year I pulled the ONLY nonresident Bison permit for Antelope Island, UT!

You have to apply for KY now? I miss the good old days, when you could get it mail order, in a plain brown wrapper.

Point systems, especially for tags this limited, are for the birds. Though I play the points game in many a state, IMO the fairest way is a complete random draw.

I was lucky enough to draw a cow tag in 2010. Applied again each year since, including this year. Pretty good herd over there. The drawing should be by the end of next week.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

This is the 15th year of the Elk Lottery; my son has applied every year and has yet to be drawn. Maybe this year.............

Why do I catch myself checking KY website at least 3 times a day for the elk draw results? I know that getting drawn is almost impossible. I wish they would post up some results soon

No wonder you guys aren't drawing a tag. I found this.
Of the 38,935 hunters who applied for a 2014 Kentucky elk tag, 37,925 got the following message:
“You were not selected for an elk quota hunt this year. Thank you for applying. Good luck next year.”...

That's what, 2.5% draw odds. Better than the Powerball!

True, but who wins Powerball? I'm lucky to get one number right when I try. If I don't have at least 90% odds in a hunting draw I never get the tag. Being lucky is not one of my strong points.

I don't buy many lottery tickets, but the wife and I might buy one every other year or so for jokes more than anything. Though the number of chances I've had is small as a result, I've yet to ever have a ticket with even ONE of the many numbers matching!
I did get drawn for elk in WY last year with 75% odds. This year I was the only one out of four of us that applied who did NOT get drawn, though. I'm tremendously blessed, but "luck" isn't a frequent companion of mine.

This is true, but I can't help but feel I've burned up a bunch of my luck lol.

No dice. Again. I really, really wish they'd do a point system or at least a weighted draw.

I complain about the Colorado draw. I feel bad for you guys. I'm not sure i'd even try if I lived there. It's like trying to get a moose tag here. I don't even try.

Finally woke up and checked... Zip. Nada. Same as the last 10 to 12 years. Only this year I donated $40 instead of the usual $20...
