wow what are you saving up for with those?
I usually draw about every other year or every 3rd year.
I am saving now to go up near craig

Unit 3, up by Baggs WY, on the Colorado side of course. I've seen more monster size antelope up there than anywhere else.

i dont know how to quote someone's post. but in reference to the statement that there arent any deer tags for first season in unit 43, there are NO deer tags ANYWHERE IN THE STATE in first season. been that way for probably 10 years or more, since they added a season. 43 is hard to get a tag for 4th season, really hard for high country buck, but i usually buy a left over license for archery in 43, and sometimes there are left over licenses for 2nd season(first deer season).

I've been up there archery hunting when I was a kid. took my first antelope, my first big game and my first archery kill all at the same time on a decent buck.

I've got like 7 preference points for Antelope!

Wait, I'm confused...

I know you have to have a liscense to hunt and you can only take what you're liscensed for... but what is this "draw" thing? Is there a lottery for hunting?

i.e. There are 1K deer and 13K hunters, but to keep the balance in the ecosystem you can only take 200 of them?...

In possibly over hunted areas the DOW has limited the amount of licenses sold so that there are not 1000 people per square mile hunting all at once. The DOW has also limited hunting pressure in areas that can't support or don't support large hunt-able populations of a specific species.

All deer licenses are draw only (ie lottery). You can NOT got to the sporting goods store and buy an over the counter license. This is also the same for Big Horn Sheep, Mountain Goat, Bear and Moose.

There are usually left over licenses available after the draw but need to be purchased at the DOW offices. Left over licenses are usually available for Deer, Elk and Bear. Unfortunately they will probably not be for the area you wish to hunt... at least that has been my experience.

Does this clear things up or make it mud?
