I have applied for years (never getting drawn) and actually was awarded a hunt this year, could be interesting but I suspect mostly frustrating HAHA. Anybody else put in this year and have success?
I drew Buck Creek. I put in for 6-7 in total every year, one being Salt Fork because that's a place I have hunted for many years, the others are all within 1-2 hrs of home so I can put some effort in to hunting it without being overnight trips. Honestly, never been to Buck Creek but looking at the odds there's a LOT of entries and only 8 hunters selected for these areas total. I am sure there's lots of hiking/horse riding etc but that is public land and doesn't concern me too much, these deer get conditioned to such activities in my mind.
